Property Owner Also A Statutory Employer

In addition, the property owner would also be considered a statutory employer. As a statutory employer, the property manager is required by statute to provide worker's compensation coverage to
to uninsured independent contractors (&8-41-401, C.R.S.). In the event of an accident, even a bona fide independent contractor can seek recovery from the statutory employer and property owner.
