Q: can a health care worker taking care of your mother at her home slips and fall at her home while taking care of your mom
health care worker slips and fall at moms house while taking care of my mother is this workmen's comp or home owners ins
A: More facts are needed but it could be both depending on the relationship(s) but here are the basics: If the worker is a employee of the company (as opposed to a contract worker), then the worker should have a workman's comp claim against his employer. Additionally, the worker might have a claim against your Mom (and/or the owner of the house) for the slip and fall----so, yes this would be a potential claim against the homeowner's policy.
