I don't know if the employer is on the hook here. It looks like the town settled for $300K. The employer might have been some fly-by-night operation, and essentially lawsuit-proof, because they have nothing to sieze.
The town could be faulted, then, for hiring a fly-by-night company and not demanding an insurance certificate.
BTW, for anybody having work done at home, hiring a reputable firm and demanding an insurance certificate is a really, really good idea.

That would blow. This is one more reason we need tougher legislation and enforcement of fines on employers of illegals.
Sigh.
