You are only responsible if there was a hazardous condition on your property that you either created or knowingly allowed to exist. In Nevada, the worker would be covered by worker's compensation insurance first, with your homeowner's policy being secondary. If he hit his head on his own vehicle or equipment, I don't see how you or your insurance could be responsible. D) .
