You are exaggerating the risks a bit, probably because you got burned because of it in the past, that's understandable... but as long as you use some common sense, the risks are actually minimal, it's probably just as likely for you to run some kid over while pulling out of the driveway or getting your foot cut off while mowing your own lawn, as it is for your neighbor to fall off the roof while installing the lights...
if you are so risk averse, just get some decent umbrella insurance policy... it will probably end up being cheaper than overpaying $450 each time for a $50 job...
