Claim against home insurance

My 12 year son had a fracture in his knee at a friend's place. Also has torn ligaments. Can I make a claim against their home insurance policy?

You can only collect on a claim if there was some element of negligence on the part of the homeowner or a member of his household involved in what led to your son's injury.

Or if the policy has Medical Payment coverage and the other carriers wants to offer it. It usually has a limit of $1000, sometimes $5000. But is their liability involved with this or do you just want to collect because it happened at their house?

A portion of their house was under renovation, and my son tripped there while playing. I believe somebody must have been present there to supervise them. I think they are partially liable for the incident.

There could be liability under the premise of "attractive nuisance." File a claim with the property owner's homeowner's insurance company and see what happens.
