Location: Missouri, USA.

Basically just the title. I was at a friend’s house, and their landlord is getting the roof replaced. No warning signage or anything set up around the property. As I was leaving, I got knocked out by a huge hunk of shingles that they let drop off the side of the roof. Spent the night in the hospital, currently recovering at home with a severe concussion and pretty debilitating soreness. I’ll likely miss 3-7 days of work (hospitality), depending on my recovery.

What’s my recourse here? Should I be looking into filing a lawsuit? I’m not exactly wealthy, so I’d prefer not to really get in the legal weeds with this.
