Rental bathroom light cracked and injured.

We currently live in a rented apartment.
Tonight, my daughter and husband were in the bathtub and while playing with a water gun, water hit the ceiling and a light that was installed directly above them broke and fell. Fortunately my daughter was not hurt, although she was hit on the arm, but my husband was injured in three places.
I should have been more careful …, but I was also angry that they didn't put a plastic cover on the light right above the bathtub where steam and water splashed ？. When I was a child, I used to play with water splashing on the ceiling, so I think there are inadequate safety measures in a place where people are naked and unprotected ？ but I wonder if this is a Japanese feeling ？
Tomorrow, I'm going to tell the manager in a strong voice. I'm going to tell the manager tomorrow, but I'm assuming that there is no such thing as "water guns in the bathroom are taboo in America". ？
I have lived in the U.S. for only a short time, so I don't understand the common sense here. I am looking forward to your opinion.

If we have the compassion that Japanese people have, there is no problem ！
We should seek a way of life that is mutually beneficial
rather than a way of life where lawyers make money by causing trouble ？
I value Japanese culture.

I guess that kind of feeling is fading in the U.S. It's like, if you don't insist, you lose. Instead of "give and take", it is more like "Take, Take, Claim Claim".

Emphasis on compassion and Japanese culture, that's not hard to understand.
However, it is not enough to say that there is no problem in America, a melting pot of races.
An acquaintance of mine did a lot of repairs on his own, but in the end he had a dispute with his landlord and moved out. It is difficult because each of us may have our own thoughts about it.

It is difficult because sometimes it is not possible to look at the world with the judgment of Japanese people.

If they do, just say no or get paid. No landlord would say such a thing, to another place for free.
Strange.
