Thank you for using Just Answer. Please keep in mind that this is a public forum and information posted here is not confidential.
Your referring to two types of actions, which both fall under personal injury, but are different specialties. An action against a landlord for a person injury falls under something called "premises liability." Most personal injury lawyers handle these types of claims.
An action against a medical provider, however, falls under the specialty of medical malpractice. This is a complex area of law and having someone who specializes in medical malpractice is very important. Most likely, an attorney who specializes in medical malpractice will be able to assist you with a premises liability claim, if such a claim is viable.
The best way to find a good medical malpractice attorney is to ask friends and associates. If you cannot find a recommendation that way, your local bar association can refer you to local attorneys who specialize in these types of claims.
One Caveat, many personal injury attorneys advertise on television and billboards, this does not mean that they are particularly good or that they do medical malpractice.
Good luck.

Whether a claim is viable is very fact specific. From the information that you provided, both claims could have merit.
