Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

If a worker for the sub-contractor is injured, the worker collects WC benefits, but that does not prevent them from suing the homeowner and/or you if they feel someone was negligent, including not warning of some problem with the roof. WC only protects the employer, not the contractor like you. If the owner of the business himself does some of the work, that person could also sue if someone besides his employees or himself was negligent.
