Legal Answer
You can only recover from the homeowner if the homeowner was negligent. If there was a problem with the carpet (for example, it was not actually intended for outdoor use or it was not for use on steps) you may be able to recover. Also, the homeowner's insurance policy may have Medical Payments coverage which provides payments for medical expenses incurred as a result of injury on the premises regardless of whether or not anyone was at fault.
