I think there is a big difference between shoveling snow and mowing a lawn. What happens when a teenager mistakenly cuts a hand or foot off while mowing a steep slope and the mower rolls over and they try to stop it, or just doesnt pay attention and goes to clear a clump of wet grass from the chute and gets hurt that way. Who is going to be the one to get sued then? Or a young person has a friend helping him and he is paying him as an worker with no workers comp insurance. Then who pays the hospital bills?
I understand the father has a construction company and he should be able to ask him for some great advice, but over the summer do you think you could make enough to cover the costs of these insurances and still make it worth while?
THis society has changed so much in these ways that it is a cover your own butt type of world...sad but thats the way it is now...
