Can I hold a company responsible for my overdraft fees after the mistakenly charged my debit card over $3000?

A company without my knowledge charged my debit card over $3000 to pay for someone else’s account balance. I have checks out there that will now bounce as a result. I believe it will amount to a few hundred dollars in overdraft fees which the company who admittedly made the mistake refuses to take any liability for. Can I legally hold them liable for any fees and penalties that I receive as a result of their mistake?
