The real question here is: why did you fall? If you fell because of something that was negligently done by the home owner, you might have a claim. If, however, you fell because you were not paying proper attention, you would not have a claim for negligence. (There could be a medical payments coverage on her homeowner's policy that would pay for perhaps $1000 or $2000 in medical expenses no matter who was at fault, so you may want to check into that option). Good luck.
