contractor liability

Contractor liability refers to the legal responsibility that contractors have for their work and any harm or damages caused during a project. If a contractor fails to meet safety standards, breaches a contract, or causes damage to property, they may be held liable. This means they could face legal action or have to pay for repairs or compensation. Liability can depend on the terms of the contract, local laws, and whether negligence is involved. Understanding contractor liability is important for both contractors and clients to ensure accountability and protect their interests.
