Re: hurt at work
You would have to prove negligence on the part of the homeowner to recover against him or her. You do not describe anything that the homeowner did wrong.
Worker's commpensation is different. If you are covered by worker's compensation, you only have to prove injury on the job, not that it was anyone's fault. The trade-off for not having to prove fault, however, is that worker's compensation covers only medical bills and lost wages, not pain and suffering.
