I had an electrician who works for a big corporation come in a few days ago to repair my outside light an outlet. Is the OP saying that if this guy electrocuted himself while performing this task that I would be responsible for paying his workman's comp? I find that very hard to believe.
Contact Seniors vs Crime on this issue. Also, contact your own homeowners insurance company.

I had a "handyman" offer to clean my skylights recently. I asked if he had personal insurance. He did not. I called my insurance company and they said if he had an accident on my property that I would be liable. I did not hire the man.
