Most likely since your husband hit the trailer. What does your employment contract say?
-
Yes, unless listed otherwise on contract. If someone was mowing your lawn and rode the mower into the side of your house would you expect them to pay for the damage?
-
At least he doesn't work for one of those crappy mega companies...

Why do people accept a 1099 job and get suprised when it turns out the owner is a crook? The whole 1099 thing means the owner (amd to some extent the driver) doesn't care about what is legal, so why be suprised on all other shady stuff?
As for advice call the labor board and see if they can help getting your hubby classified as an employee. Otherwise its just one business (your hubby) disagreeing with another business (the o/o.)

Actually some owners do care and use 1099 with a contract, it is many times the fault of the driver to take the job without understanding what the differences are and how to avoid problems. Remember that no one forces someone to take a job, we did away with open slavery a long time ago.
