Is the homeowner responsible for an injury to a contractor on their property?

Generally, a homeowner may be held responsible for injuries to a contractor on their property if the injury resulted from a hazardous condition that the homeowner knew about or should have known about but failed to address. However, contractors are typically considered to be skilled professionals responsible for their own safety; therefore, liability may depend on the specifics of the situation, including the nature of the injury and the contractual agreements in place. It's advisable for both homeowners and contractors to have insurance and clear contracts to mitigate potential liabilities.

Generally, a person who hires a contractor is not liable for the contractor's torts, as the contractor is considered an independent entity responsible for their own actions.
