You should consult with an experienced personal injury attorney. While you can sue the rental car company without suing the driver, it may be a poor tactical decision to do so; suing a resident of another country is not difficult, but serving them with a summons and complaint is not something you even want to try. When you call the lawyer, ask him or her if they have ever sued a non-resident alien, because the rules which apply to that are a bit out of the ordinary.
