I can say for sure that EVERY SINGLE case I ever read about how "Electrum stole me" or "Electrum is unsafe" turned out to be the user's fault. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. I (plus a HUGE part of the community) am using Electrum for over 2 years and I trust them. Even after this security issue, I have never seen a single case where someone lost their funds due to this exploit. So, IMHO that was (probably) your fault.

1. Norton AV can't find every viruses. And if you had a malware, a big password doesn't mean anything.
2. Are you sure that you downloaded the wallet from Electrum.org? I can remember at least 2 cases where the user claimed that he did while he actually downloaded a fake software from electrumwallet.com or something similar.

Is there any way you can help me get my money back?
I don't think so.

or anyone you can recommend that can help me track down the owner of this wallet where my funds were sent to
That's very unlikely.

or recommend someone who knows how I can file a lawsuit against Electrum?
Probably just a waste of time.

Btw, why aren't you storing over $110k in BTC in a hardware wallet?
