When did your accident happen? Did you take any photographs to show that the hand railing was missing? Were there any witnesses with you? Do you know whether the owner has insurance? What type of building were you in? (An apartment building or retail office space). If you can show negligence snd given the fact you have a very serious injury, with proper photographs or reliable witnesses, you should be able to make a case. Premises liability cases are difficult to pursue and many times insurance companies routinely deny the claim and make injured parties go through a lawsuit. That is why your evidence needs to be tight right from the get go. I also don't know if tribal law applies or regular civil law, but that should be pretty easy to figure out at the onset of the case. The statute of limitations in Wisconsin under s.893.54 is 3 years to sue, from the date of your accident. Failure to file a lawsuit under civil law within the three years from the date of your accident would forever bar your claim.
