More than likely, yes. First, make sure you took due caution to avoid a slip and fall. Such things like not using the railing provided right down to simply not watching where you step to make sure you step on the step can cause you to lose your case. Most insurance companies will take care of your medical bills if you show you were not negligent and the property owner followed all the safety laws such as having an appropriately placed handrail, keeping the steps clear of debris as much as humanly possible and keeping the steps in good repair. If, however, the property owner has been negligent in some way and you can prove it, you may have an additional case against the property owner for pain and suffering damages. For this, it would be best to consult with a lawyer as different cities have different laws concerning the responsibility of the property owner.

If the homeowner was negligent in any way...simply falling does not make the homeowner negligent. If the steps were in poor repair, perhaps. BTW, anyone can sue anyone for anything. That does not mean you will prevail.
