liablity on new home construction

[Jean Paul Valley]

My question is if I buy a piece of raw land with the intention of hiring my own architect/contractor to build and oversee, am I liable for any injuries that happen on the work site?

My second question is if I hire a traditional builder or developer to build on the lot which I own, am I better of from a liability standpoint to then deed the lot over to the builder (presumably so its on them if a worker is injured) and then have the property deeded back to me when done?

Thanks
