BAD Tire Failure, Possible Compensation?

so was coming back from Mass when i was driving down the highway through New Hampshire when i heard a little "pop", the next thing i know is i'm fishtailing down the
highway. I managed not to hit any of the cars on either side of me and got to the side of the road to see my tire was flat, didn't think anything of it. I was towed the last
50 miles home. it wasn't until i got home that i realized what actually happened. Part of the sidewall on my tire Michelin PS2 was blown out and it unmounted itself
from the rim which is why i had fishtailed. I've never seen this before.

What are my possible options, should i go after michelin to get new tires because of this, or go for something more like also having them pay for the repair to my rim?
The tires were low on tread but still the side wall should not have done this.

Sorry for the big photos wanted the detail to show for the rim damage
