It only takes a minute to check information on the CSLB website at www.cslb.ca.gov or www.CheckTheLicenseFirst.com,” said CSLB Registrar Steve Sands. “If someone working on your property is injured and is not covered by workers’ compensation insurance, they could turn around and sue you for their medical bills.”
