It depends on who fell and why. Homeowners Insurance is Property Insurance
Homeowners Insurance may sometimes provide a very small amount of coverage for minor household related injuries for the named insured.
Visitor injuries would be subject to home owners liability terms.
Major Medical insurance provides comprehensive coverage up to the policy limits regardless of where a personal injury occurred.
It's much better to handle it with your medical insurer.

No. The rotting of the logs on the log home are a maintenance issue and are not due to a covered cause. The log home seems that it was not properly sealed.
Most likely No. Homeowners insurance is also known as "Hazard Insurance" and "Catastrophe Insurance". So it really just depends on why your Deck Posts are sagging. Covered losses are typically things like Fire, Wind, Hail, lightning etc. Homeowners Insurance does not cover normal wear. Decks are very susceptible to normal wear and tear as they are most often exposed to the elements 24/7 and require replacement quite often. Maintenance, upkeep and even frequent replacement of Decks and deck components are considered part of the home owners normal and expected maintenance routine incidental to home ownership and are not hazard losses. Best of luck.
It depends on what caused the collapse. If the deck collapsed due to a covered peril, such as fire, wind hail, etc, then yes it is covered. If the deck is just old and in need of repair or replacement then the answer is no, as this would be considered normal expected maintenance for a home owner.
