Good question. If your father suffered a work related injury where he no longer is capable of doing such things at home that he used to be able to do, then under the worker's compensation laws he should be entitled to compensation in the end for such matters where he has to hire things out now.
Given such issues, I suggest that your father discuss such with his worker's compensation attorney with some allotment for future costs as well based upon your father's expected life expectancy.
