Yes, if the homeowner was negligent. In most situations the owner is not at fault.

No necessarily. It depends on the circumstances. That an injury occurs inside a home is not enough, by itself, to make the homeowner liable.

There is a HUGE body of law about when a home owner is liable for injuries in their home and when they are not. The determination is always VERY specific to the facts and circumstances.
