"California employers are required by law to have workers' compensation insurance, even if they have only one employee. And, if your employees get hurt or sick because of work, you are required to pay for workers' compensation benefits. Workers' comp insurance provides six basic benefits: medical care, temporary disability benefits, permanent disability benefits, supplemental job displacement benefits or vocational rehabilitation and death benefits."

"The state worker's compensation act applies to workers who are employed 52 or more hours, or who earned $100 or more, during 90 calendar days, with the exception of workers employed by a parent, spouse, or child."

Based on your original post, and the text provided in my earlier answer (edited), your grandfather would have to provide workman comp for you (assuming you meet the remaining requirements).
