21 JanIndependent Contractor Lawsuit

“Bruce” was an independent landscaper who was often called upon by a larger landscaping contractor to help with big projects. The fact that he was an independent contractor is important because otherwise under New York Law an employee cannot sue his employer because of the workers’ compensation law.

On one job, the task was to remove a large maple tree on a homeowner’s property in Westchester. The team began by cutting off the top of the tree.

The remaining part of the tree was going to fall in an area that was zoned off, which was about 60 feet in radius so there would be plenty of room for the tree to land without incident. A rope was thrown around the branch and the workers pulled it tight toward the sectioned off “zoned” so that the tree would fall in the right direction.

As the tree began to fall, two of Bruce’s co-workers panicked and began running away leaving Bruce with a slackened rope as the tree began to fall “off course”.

Bruce tried to get the tree under control by pulling on the rope himself but as you can guess, the tree won.

Then there was a domino effect: Bruce got out of the way of the Maple tree, but the Maple tree fell onto an Ash tree which then snapped and struck Bruce causing enormous injuries requiring multiple surgeries.

Bruce sued the landscaping company and recovered a substantial amount, given that the accident was a result of lack of control and safety procedures on the site by the company that hired Bruce. If the workers who gave up on Bruce were his co-workers, the best he could have hoped for was whatever he received from workers compensation, which only provides for reimbursement of wages and payment of medical expenses. There is no recovery for pain and suffering under New York workers’ compensation State.

21 JunHiring Independent Contractors

Hiring an independent contractor to help you with home improvements has pros and cons.

You can save money by avoiding hiring a general contractor but then, when working with an independent contractor, you can end up with low quality work or someone who has abandoned the job halfway through. If the independent contractor hasn’t lived up to what they said they would do, you can end up spending more on a job than hiring a general contractor.

How Can You Find Quality Sub-Contractors? – There are starting to be resources online that can help you find reputable contractors. Google maps sometimes has reviews about businesses there. Those are difficult to depend on though, but they can be easily fabricated. Ask around with friends or try calling other businesses to see what independent contractors they have used in the past.

Learn About The Project Yourself – The more you know about what a project entails the better able you will be to analyze the bids you receive.

Learn about the project online and see what the job will require. Price out some of the materials at your local hardware store. That way when the contractor is giving you a bid you will have an idea of how realistic his bid is and how long it will take.

Get Multiple Bids – Make sure you have at least 5 different independent contractors bid on your project. The more quotes you have the more likely you are to pick someone who is reputable, honest and inexpensive.

Ask For References – Make sure you contact references from the contractor of people they have worked with before.

06 JunDisadvantages of Dedicated Servers



If you’ve decided on investing in a dedicated server, or even just considering one, your next step is to seriously asses the advantages and disadvantages of the server. Although the pro’s will more than likely outweigh the con’s when it comes to dedicated server, its always sensible to closely look at what negative implications they can have. Some of them are as follows:

Cost

The big thing to weigh up with a dedicated server is the cost. Unlike a shared server package, you will be paying for the entire server and there’s every chance that you won’t maximise its capabilities. For personal use or start ups this issue needs to be addressed early on as you could be throwing money away on a half used server.

Requires you to be a bit tech savvy

If you’re not the most tech savvy of users then before you sign up for a dedi server, check the level of tech support you’ll receive. Quite a few providers will assume that your choice of a dedi server means you know what you’re doing which is not always the case. If you have a dedicated server you’re expected to maintain certain elements of it yourself, including any problems that may occur.

Lack of additional features

Dedicated servers come with a lot less additional features than a shared server would. Many hosts use additional features as a benefit for shared server users, however, if you opt for a more independent dedicated server you’re expected to have your own applications. This again can come back to how tech savvy you are, so again, just check what features you’ll be getting with your server.

Scalability con’s

If you are renting a dedicated server then you are subject to the capacity restrictions it comes it. Unlike cloud hosting options, there is no element of scalability with the servers, you cannot simply increase you capacity, you can only purchase more hardware or another server – both of which can take a while to get arranged. If you exceed your capacity limit you face potentially crashing your server or even occurring financial penalties from your provider.

Ownership

Remember that with a dedicated server, you do not own the server, which means that the provider effectively owns the information you place on it. Ownership can be an issue sometimes so it’s important to check a provider’s ownership policy because you sign on the dotted line.
