I recentely learned that if a criminal breaks into your house and gets hurt he can press charges against you and take you to court. When my car was stolen a couple months ago they also told me if he wrecked it and he got injured he could sue me. I think it's unfair personally. Why exactly is it that they have more rights than us?

It's a flaw caused by the legal system being too fair. In the past lawyers discovered loop holes in the law that they could use to help their criminal clients. Remember that no matter who a lawyer is representing they have to do their best, so even if they are representing someone they no is in the wrong the have to do what ever they can to get the best outcome for their client, so they find loop holes and use them to their advantage. Then this sets a presidence for future cases that other lawyers can use.
Personally I think that those type of loop holes should be closed, and I agree that it is unfair. Sadly though the law isn't a very good model of fairness.
For some examples:
A man sued a bike manufacturing company because he got hit while riding in the middle of the stree at night with no reflective gear. He won because there was no warning on the bike that stated it was dangerous to ride at night. Yet when his lawyer was asked if there should be warnings for things such as 'the bike will go faster when going down hill' he said 'no, they don't need to put warnings for things that are common sense.' Yet isn't it common sense that it's dangerous to ride you bike at night especially in the street?
The infamous lady who spilled hot coffee on herself from McDonald's. She sued McDonald's for what I'm not exactly sure but she won. At that time not every restaurant put warnings of their coffee being hot, because it was believed to be common sense. Despite the fact that the coffee she ordered was served at the temparature that the majority of restaurants serve it at she won. Oh, and I saw something where they interviewed her and she even said that she was holding by the lid. So isn't it her fault the lid came off?
I hope that was helpful.

I agree with you, it doesn't make any sense. What about him trepassing your property with the intention to steal? He should be 100% guilty and if he gets hurt it was his fault. He shouldn't have been there. Sometimes the law is hard to understand. I guess these rights have appeared because of them being innocent until proven guilty? in other words they can sue until their intentions to steal are clear and there is enough proof to prove it ? This is only my presumtion...

I'm pretty sure here in Kansas that we can still shoot them if they're in our house! Oh yeah, or even on our land as long as it posted 'No Trespassing'. It all depends on your States laws!
