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
