I am SLOWLY learning that if I am to keep my sanity I need to hire people to help me in life. My goal for the summer is to keep the weeds on my property at bay all summer long Last summer it was a mess, I was too busy with my shop build and the weeds got out of control. All fall I would walk around and end up with a hoodie full of burrs.

I am a school teacher and I plan on hiring one of my responsible enterprising students to weed eat at the property this summer. My question is about liability. I am assuming liability is lessened if you are paying that person to work at your property. Am I correct in this assumption? I do not think he is necessarily going to get hurt, just curious.
As soon as you pay them they become an employee... most home owners policies include some sort of workman comp provision. I would suggest as someone already did to investigate what your policy provides for.

Everything has risks. For example, if someone hurts himself, you will be in trouble, but that isn't 100%. It would depend on your worker if it were his honest mistake. There could be fewer questions in that case. Try not to put workers at complicated technic because many accidents happen of nonexperience. And I'm proud that I lived on a farm and had the chance to get ready for the university. Nature is the best way of concentrating. Also, my dad's friend is a farmer and a teacher, haha. He suggested me this leading engineering recruitment agency for my next steps.

I didn't think I would ever utter this phrase: If you know your agent, ask them, exposure varies on many factors including your policy and the state you live in.

That's the bottom line -
I've been looking for a good roofer in Mississippi.
Think I found one but he doesn't carry insurance for his employees. Too expensive.
Had my lawyer call our agent. She was told we are covered.
