"hold harmless clause ?"

Georgia -

I am planning to have a small renovatiobn project done. The contractor I would like to hire can not provide a certificate of insurance. He is however well experienced and comes with high recommendations from professional builders. Is there specific language that I can include in the contract document that would protect me from any liability, other than what might be caused by my negligence? I believe it might be called a "hold harmless clause" If so please provide language and source. Thank you.

While you could, the contract would not be binding on those who are hurt. It is just that you could *sue* the signer to defend or pay for you damages. Unless he doesn't have the abilty or money, then you have a problem.
