On what grounds should a counter lawsuit be filed?

Full question:

I am about to attend midiation for lawsuit filed against me and developing company over flood caused by bad plumbing during initial work done while apartments converted to condos. My unit and unit below were flooded, I partially settled w/construction company. The other owner did not know and is now suing both myself and the construction company. Her abandonment and neglect eventually led to mold seeping up walls and into my unit, which I have not mentioned at this point. I am temporarily disabled from AAA as flight attendant on 60% salary, and can afford attorney or metigation fees. Should I counter- sue other owner for damages to my unit, expenses for metigation, etc., etc. Construction company has taken responsibility, but she is greedy.
