      maybe the guy who left the cement slab on the sidewalk and grass is responsible.
      I sure do think one or the other should be responsible for the medical bills.
      good luck.

            If you go after your landlord, he will most likely go after the builder in return if he has no insurance. I would imagine he would have a liability insurance being he is a landlord.
