More details to this question:
I tripped over a ledge going out in the county clerks office. There were no signs or warnings of the ledge. When I fell, the lady working said they just came to take pics of the ledge the day before because they know it's so dangerous. I have injuries... Whiplash, bruised chest wall, banged up knees etc but no broken bones. Can I do anything? This just seems so, unfair. I'm the only one working in the home and have missed a week if work so far.

As a general rule, state/county/city offices have a governmental immunity from situations that you described. However, you might contact the risk management/legal department to find out if it will offer any compensation.
