If a contractor or one of his employees gets hurt while working on my property: can they sue me? If the contractor has workers compensation coverage, it will cover the contractor and his employees’ injuries as long as you are not at fault. If the contractor does not have workers compensation or if your operations caused the injury, you could be liable for their loss. Always obtain a certificate of insurance for liability and workers compensation coverage before allowing a contractor to work on your property.
