Social guests are sometimes able to recover from their hosts, depending on how their injuries happened. Homeowners must tell their guests about or correct any dangerous conditions that guests are unlikely to recognize. For example, if an injury was caused when a guest tripped on a throw rug, he or she may be able to recover if he/she could prove that the host knew other people had tripped over it and the guest was unlikely to realize its danger. The host probably should have warned guests about it, removed it during the party, or secured it to the floor with tape or tacks. It's important that you seek the guidance of an experienced Indianapolis slip and fall accident attorney if you would like to speak about your possible legal options after a slip and fall accident.
