The water pipe upstairs in my house burst. My home is a wooden floor, and the walls are made of Nippon paint. There are cracks in the door and wall, and there are cracks where the water flows.

If it is really upstairs that caused the loss of your family, you can claim compensation from upstairs, but you should keep good evidence, and it is best to have on-site photos, maintenance invoices and so on. For legal purposes. It's best to negotiate first, but if it doesn't work, go through legal channels.

Whether to paint the whole room depends on the damaged area. If it is only a small part, it can be repaired locally. If the damaged area is large, it is recommended to make a whole wall. If it is a ceiling, it can be painted white without color difference. If you insist on repainting all four walls, you can bear part of the cost yourself, which is relatively reasonable.

The expenses directly used for maintenance can be shared, but it is difficult for the court to support that your salary loss is an indirect loss.
