Im suspecting that if Im operating 1099 on a piece of company As equipment on a company A project, Company A could put the liability on me if I hit a utility. Whereas if I were an employee of company A, the company itself would hold the liability. Liability I refer to as the stuck utilities compensation for loss and damage.
Im trying to tell my buddy that if I or anybody is operating his equipment 1099 we are risking liability. Everybody is friends until someone wants paid for their fiber getting respooled on a boring rod or a sewage filled sinkhole shows up with a duct right through the middle of it. .
