Anyone can sue, but that is a legal question and this is a tax forum.
We do not help with legal issues. Your immediate tax issue is that you apparently did not have enough tax withheld from your paychecks. Instead you had bigger "take home" checks but now at tax time you owe. You will need to enter your W-2 exactly as it appears.
If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment. For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.

One thing you could do to prevent this problem going forward is prepare a new W-4 for your employer and have more tax withheld during 2023.

And after you put in a new W-4 with the right withholding choice then on the first paycheck do the math to make sure they are doing it correctly instead of waiting until the end of the tax year to complain about it being wrong. I doubt you could "sue" for the incorrect withholding however if you ask the employer nicely if they may be willing to pay any underpayment penalty on the state return due to their error but they have no obligation to do so. Either way this is your tax to pay and you have until 4/18/23 to do so even if you efiled the return today.
how much will it cost you to sue, and will you still be working there after doing that ?
Don't be silly.
