Thank you for your inquiry. The short answer is: "It depends." Whether the contractor is liable for your injuries, and whether his workers compensation insurance applies to you, depends on the very specific facts of your relationship with him (how the work gets done and if he tells you when you have to be there, etc.) and how you got hurt. I would be happy to discuss this with you, but email and this website make it extremely difficult to evaluate a case like this. Please feel free to contact me directly.
