Does the home owners insurance cover personal injury i was taking care of my fiance's stepfather in the home and injured my back picking him up off the floor and i further injured my back while changing a toilet for his wife in the home causing me to have surgery on my back
A: If this is a job you are hired to do, then it would likely be a workers' compensation claim. If this is just something you were doing, you may need to consult with a personal injury lawyer for further help. Virtually every PI lawyer gives free consultations, your easiest route would be to call and ask. Hope this helps!
