What is the name of your state?virginia
My neighbor and I are looking at adding a bulkhead, and are considering the use of a contractor that doesn't have workers comp/liability insurance. We are very concerned about this because I know if they are hurt or hurt someone else I know we are liable. I think I would rather pay more and use a contractor that has full insurance. My question...Is there a document that could be written up that would resolve us of any liability in the event of an accident? I have a feeling that it wouldn't hold up in court.... I also know that any of the contractors 'buddies' would have to sign also.
Any opinions on this would be welcome
Thanks
