claimant and our client, or another individual who owns the property where the alleged injury occurred and for whom our client performs work. In this matter, the claimant filed a Workers’ Compensation claim against our client after alleging multiple injuries after she reportedly fell backwards in May 2019 while performing landscaping services on a specific property where our client was responsible for property management services. Our client did not maintain any Workers’ Compensation insurance as she operated a LLC with no employees under which she maintained her property management services. Our office was retained to defend the matter and immediately pursued an aggressive defense that there was no employee-employer relationship  – i.e. claimant was an independent contractor and not an employee.
