Any homeowner is acting as the contractor when they hire (anyone, whether an individual or a company) a subcontractor to do work on their home. If the subcontractor does not carry their own Workers Comp Insurance, the homeowner (legally being the contractor) will be responsible for any subcontractor who is injured on the job. Most cases where a homeowner (acting as a contractor) hires a subcontractor to work and the subcontractor is injured at their home, it could turn into a Gross Negligence Lawsuit which turns into a Gross Negligence Case. As an example, if a subcontractor falls off a ladder and is injured in any way (could be a preexisting injury or new) there is no limit to the dollar value of liability/responsibility by the homeowner in a gross negligence case. A subcontractor’s employee can file suit against the homeowner personally.
