    Hey there punitha50! Welcome to AMHD! :)

    Note that this area is for saying hi and introducing yourself. You could have posted your question in a more proper area, namely under the family law section.

    This would actually be other law.

    You will need a Personal Injury lawyer like excon stated and you will want to sue their home owners insurance.

    What caused the fall?
