My dog was hit by a car due to my landlords' refusal to fix our back door.

Our back door is prone to being blown open by the wind. It's riddled with cracks and doesn't even have a proper threshold.. I've brought this to the attention of my landlord through phone calls, emails (which I still have), and in conversation.

Last week the wind blew the door open while I was cooking lunch, and my dog ran out. I noticed immediately, ran out the door, and watched her get hit by a van on a busy street. The good news is that she is alive and well, but the bad news is she had to get a leg amputated in the process.

She's been a cheap, scummy landlord for the 2 years I've lived here, but this is the last straw. My question is, do I have a legal case here? All I really want is for her to pay for the surgery and fix the door, so going to court isn't necessary to me unless she refuses my requests. I've included pics of the door in question:

FWIW, I live in Portland, Oregon. Thanks in advance.
