Hi, I recently had contracted a guy to do an exterior paint at my house. While working, he fell down from the stairs outside my house and had bad injury. I was wondering if I am liable for these incident? As I mentioned, it was just a temporary contract and we agreed for a certain amount in return of paint job. Can the guy sue me for the hospital or any other expenses? If so, can I claim that thru my home owner insurance? I have no clue as a client what my responsibility here? any help will greatly appreciated.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
