Getting sued for guy falling off roof

[Dave Charron]

So I hired a company to pressure wash my apartments (8 units) in New York State and the guy fell off the roof.   He broke his ankle.  Couple months later I get a letter from an attorney saying he is suing me due to my negligence.  WTF. I just hired a company.  I wasnt even there.

My insurance company took all the info and will take it from there but it looks like he may be able to get medical expenses.

They said that if it was a single family he probably wouldnt get anything but because its considered commercial then he might be able to get paid.
