Yes, it is possible to get sued by someone who is lawfully (in this day and age even unlawfully) on your premise. Liaiblity is another issue. For you to be liable the firefighter's attorney or workers comp adjuster would need to show negligence by you of an existing condition that one could reasonably expect to be hazardous, ie. known aggressive dog biting this firefighter. If a firefighter simply slips and falls while putting out the fire, he would have a problem getting a settlement as this is an antipicated and often faced situation as part of his duties. Your insurance policy provides coverage for liablities such as these. Suggest letting your homeowner's insurance carrier deal with it. That's what you pay the premium for.

Can you sue a homeowner for damages to you and your hand even if it was your fault?
No, you can't sue your own homeowner's insurance for any medical condition you experience whether it is your fault or not. Homeowner's insurance is not medical insurance for the homeowner. However, if it is someone else's home you may have your emergency medical covered as most homeowner's policies have emergency medical coverage for non-residents. It is also possible to sue the homeowner for damages, i.e. a dog bite.

Can I sue for personal injury if my injuries are major?
It is not whether the injuries are major that determines whether or not you can sue. You can sue only if the injuries were caused by the negligence of another person. If negligence occurred , you can sue even if the injuries were minor, although your recovery in damages would be as minor as your injuries. If this is an auto accident matter, some states have laws that state that you cannot sue unless you do have major injuries even if there were no negligence. Check the laws of the state the accident occurred in to get proper information.
