What is the name of your state?
California.
CA states that worker's comp is required by law. My contractor claimed exemption based on having "no employees." When I asked, he fessed up and said that he does have employees but worker's comp is simply too expensive right now. I replied that paying his employee's medical expenses would be too expensive for me. He said we could remedy that by putting something in the contract stating that I would not be liable for any injuries incurred. Would that hold water? Or--could it come back to bite me in the butt? Thanks.
