The Case of Mendoza vs. Brooder (2006)

• Brooder hired his neighbor, Mendoza, an unlicensed roofer, to replace the roof of his house

• On his first day on the job, Mendoza fell off of the roof and broke his leg

• Then he sued the homeowner for compensation • The homeowner believed Mendoza was an independent

contractor and therefore not liable for Mendoza’s actions• The Court of Appeals found the homeowner was liable to

pay, because Mendoza was unlicensed • The homeowner claimed the no-fault workers'

compensation coverage from his homeowner's insurance applied

• The court ruled his homeowner’s insurance didn’t applyhttp://www.roofery.com/roofing-contractors/roofing-scams.html
