回複：I heard if someone got injured in your house, the homeowne

There is a separate branch in tort law on landowner's liability that the landowner has responsibility to put his guests out of harm's way. That responsibility requires landowner to warn guests about all the risks in the surroundings. Failure of so doing would be a liability to him. For example, if you have a pool and you forget to warn the guest' children of the deep water and one kid got drowned from diving, you will be held liable for the wrongful death. Of course you don't have warn the obvious dangers.

Maybe some of the insurance policies are drafted based on this. In the Gap case, however, it is hard to say that a reasonably prudent person would think the slippery floor was a danger. Most stores are so cautious to warn. I'm sure you have seen that stores put a sign near the spot where spill occured. It is just not the case here.
