"The study, published in the most recent Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), found that falls remain a leading cause of unintentional injury mortality nationwide, and 43 percent of fatal falls in the last decade have involved a ladder."

Just had gutters cleaned/replaced/repaired by a group of Mexican workers who were all over the roof with no ropes. Roof has serious inclines.

What's the law on if they injure themselves? Would you be potentially liable?

It's probably not like someone tripping on your sidewalk, if that's what you mean. Maybe the contractor who we hired would be liable for not using proper safety procedures.

If a worker gets injured while doing work for you and his employer doesn't have worker's comp insurance, you become liable. I would never hire any contractor without seeing proof of worker's comp and general liability insurance.

"California law requires that employers, including those in the construction industry, carry workers' compensation insurance, even if they have only one employee."

Sure, most states are the same. But I wouldn't bet my house, savings, and future wages on some contractor just saying they comply. An honest contractor will show you proof of insurance without being asked.

I'm with Carey on this. In these increasingly litigative times I'd want my contractor to show me his full 'contractors all risks' insurance credentials before allowing him/her and any of his/her employees on my property.

Another sign I'm getting old. I can remember when this thread was about Afib!

Yeah Sam, it's the most longwinded meandering thread I think I've ever seen on here! I'm hoping it goes to 1000 views!

How are you doing 4 1/2 months on post-Bordeaux? Has your digestive system settled down yet??
