A home without a solid concrete foundation will probably not qualify for an HO-3 form homeowners policy. However, a home like this is most likely an older house where the HO-3 would probably not be the best policy for this home anyway due to the requirement for replacement cost. In order to write a HO-3 policy you must insure it for at least 80% of the full replacement cost of the house. If the amount of insurance falls below 80% and a claim is presented then there will be a penalty and only part of the claim will be paid. Replacement cost means to rebuild the home exactly like it was when originally built with similar material. On an older home this is extremely high due to the cost of similar material. For this reason, you would want to write a HO-10 or HO-8 policy for these older homes as it is a actual cash value policy instead of replacement cost.

Can a person sue a homeowner after suing the home insurance company for the same accident?

Generally No. If you have already sued the Home Insurance Company, then you have already sued by default the Homeowner. You can not have sued one without already having sued the other. If a property owner is liable to you for an accidental injury, The home owner may have insurance to cover those liabilities. The insurance company would not be the cause of an accident. If you sue an insured homeowner, their insurance company is only enjoined in the suit by virtue of the coverage provided to their insured home owner who has been sued. The homeowners insurance company may cover the cost of defense of the suit filed against the insured homeowner and may pay awards or judgments up to the limits of the homeowners insurance policy on behalf of that insured homeowner. Bear in mind that the Insurance Company is not liable for an accident, The insurance company may be liable for damages and awards based on assertions and finding of liability on the part of the insured homeowner. If your suit failed (or you Lost the suit), Then that means the homeowner was found not liable for your injuries. If you have accepted a settlement from the insurance company, that settlement will have settled your claims against the homeowner.
