Yes, he is responsible to pay for your injuries since he did
not fix the porch.
see.......Tenant Injuries:Landlords Liability Insurance
Dollars to Donut's....he did not pick up renter insurance.
And he should have a CO to rent.....if he had gotten a CO
they would have made him fix the porch before he could rent.
Yes, I would go ask him.
If he does not, the only thing you can do is get a lawyer
and sue him......which means you have to pay until you
go to court.
If he does not want to be fined and go to court.....
maybe he will work with you and pay it himself....
the only other option would be.....that you were a visitor
to his house, and the homeowners insurance would pay it.
That is risky.....you could get into a lot of trouble for lying.
Yes, he has to pay your bills.
Another note.....if his house burned down, for example..
you should have renter insurance...he is not responsible
for you personal belongings.
Type Tenants Injuries:Landlord Liability and Insurance
It will show he is responsible.
No, you are not greedy......Before he rented, he should have
done some research.
Hope I helped you a bit.
Go to him today!! Do not wait.

The insurance company is not going to pay you if he will not acknowledge the injury. Take a look at SMALL CLAIMS COURT in your area. They have a limit on how much you can file for but you aren't supposed to have an attorney.
If that does not work, send him a receipt required letter (probably $3 at the post office) and type up something that says you intend to sue him. He has to sign to get the letter. It tends to get people's attention. Don't say anything about "if you don't pay", Just say that this is notification of intent to file suit. It should get him to contact the insurance company and they will contact you. They don't want an attorney involved.
Why not talk to an attorney? They should be able to get your medical expenses plus enough "pain and suffering" reimbursement to cover his/her costs.

Evern if you do find his insurance company, that doesn't mean they'll just pay up. You'll probably have to sue in small claims court and submit evidence that it was the landlord's negligence that caused your injury.

Get a lawyer! You will likely not need to go to court, his insurance will want to settle.

tell him exactly that, you just want your medical bills to
be paid.
if he refuses hire an attroney who will only charge you on
a contingency basis, you pay no attorney fees if he looses
and if he wins the attorney get a per cent of the settlement
for his fees.
