Basically, you have to demonstrate that the landlord was negligent. Was there something unsafe about the parking lot that would make her trip and fall?
I once worked at a restaurant, and we had a kid fall out of a booth and break her arm. At first I just assumed our insurance would pay for it. However the insurance company denied their claim. There was nothing faulty about the booth to cause her to fall. Just because something happens on someone elses property, that doesn't make them at fault.

Instead of suing. Why don't you take her to the doctor.
Oh and why don't you use the spell check feature. "screw stock " ??
Without any advice or signal SHE made a deep puncture in her knee ??
I am sorry I really can not understand you.

No.
Are they supposed to be searching the parking lot everyday for tiny screws? If she steps on a rusty nail on the sidewalk are you going to sue the city?
Sue them for what? Is she missing work? Did she have hospital bills because of this? What does she need money for?

Probally not, since it was the parking lot.
You would have to prove negligence on the part of the apartment complex.
And that would be impossible to do, for a screw stuck in the pavement of the parking lot.

she fell on a screw? was there construction there without signs? if so, then maybe. if it was just a screw in a lot, then i doubt you have a case. kids fall all the time. they get hurt. and it's a parking lot, not inside a clean building. take her to the doctor, get a tetanus shot, get stitches, and go on with your life. you can't sue everyone because of a clumsy kid.

Probably. You should speak with an attorney about the case. If she was not seriously injuried, you probably would not have many lawyers lining up to take the case.
Laws vary greatly from state to state. Your local attorney can help you more.
