Independent contractor
|
|
An independent contractor is a person or business which provides goods or services to another entity under terms specified in a contract. Unlike an employee, an independent contractor does not work regularly for a company.
The employer of an independent contractor is not held vicariously liable for the tortious acts of the contractor, except where the contractor injures an invitee to the property of the employer.
