If the homeowner was negligent in any way...simply falling does not make the homeowner negligent. If the steps were in poor repair, perhaps. BTW, anyone can sue anyone for anything. That does not mean you will prevail.

The purpose of insurance is to pay you when you lose something, to help you recover from that loss. For example, if your house burns down, fire insurance can pay for a new house. Or car insurance will pay for a new car if you get into an accident. The term "insurable interest" refers to the thing you are worried about losing, the car or the house. You can't get insurance in cases where you have no insurable interest. For example, I can't get car insurance on my neighbor's car.

Letting people have insurance when they have no insurable interest causes problems, for example intentionally damaging their neighbor's car.

Will a homeowner's insurance policy still be valid if a property line through the house is discovered?
In the United States, insurance comes under the laws of a particular state. It is hard to say what will happen in a particular situation. In the case where you mention that a property line comes through a particular house, the insurance policy would probably be valid. However, an insurance policy frequently contains a legal description of the property that is insured. If the house burned down, it might only pay for the value of that part of the house which was on the piece of property described on the insurance policy. Say you owned two lots and you built a 5 bedroom house on one lot and insured it. They you added 5 more bedrooms on the second lot. You increased your insurance but did not change the policy to describe the fact that the other 5 bedrooms were on the second lot. Then when your house burned down, you may only get paid for the first 5 room house.

Second, if your house burns down you will not have coverage for the damage and will still owe the full amount of the mortgage. The lender may also sue for breach of contract and place you deeper in debt.
