What is an apartment complex’s liability regarding a personal injury due to its spraying of chemicals in a neighboring apartment?

At our apartment complex, a nearby apt unit was being sprayed with chemicals to get it ready for the next tenants. My girlfriend was home sleeping when she was woken by the smell, started to feel nauseous, then proceeded to call the front office to complain. Minutes later she called 911 then passed. Fire rescue came and had to climb up to our second story balcony to find her unconscious and took her to the ER. Now the medical bills are coming in and we feel the apartment complex should pay for it but they claim no liability. I think we should sue but we have no idea how to go about it.
