Reading this, an additional caution I would like to add is that if a

It's 100% the contractor's fault for not obtaining workman's comp

True that homeowner should not be liable but it's happened.

is not a citation, even it purportedly was said by a lawyer).

Certainly all the facts are not in evidence (perhaps the homeowner
did something stupid which caused the fall).
