So luckily I’m not wondering about an incident that actually happened.
but I was asked by a patient today and wasn’t quite sure what the answer was or how to address it, if a CNA who is an independent contractor, Goes into a patient’s home and is injured can that aid sue the patient?
I feel like there should be some sort of legal standard that says that in accidental injury while working with the patient in their home would not be the liability of the patient but I’m not even sure how to go about finding out that type of information if anyone could help

Is this homework?
Yes, it’s care provided in the patients home

Anybody can sue anybody for any reason. Trick is to get legal representation. Most attorneys only take cases that have a reasonable expected outcome.
Does homeowner's insurance account for anything here?
