You need to check the bye laws or rules and regulations of your society, thereafter you can held society members liable for the negligence on their part for not maintaining the building properties in right condition thereby creating threat to life and property. which has been occurred in your case. if any person was present where the chajja fell instead of the car then the results would have been fatal. Also you pay maintenance and parking charges on regular basis which is shown from the maintenance receipt which makes you a rightful member of the society and you ask for compensation due to inaction on the part of the society members wherein they failed to fulfil and complete their duties.
