Is landlord liable for tenant-repairman's injury?

Q: When I rented the house we live in from the landlord, I agreed to do certain repairs if needed. Recently, a windstorm broke a window, and I said I'd replace it. While removing the old glass, I accidentally cut myself and had to go to the emergency room for stitches. The bill is several hundred dollars. Shouldn't the landlord pay for it? I don't want to make a claim on my own insurance policy.
