Human Factors
A taxiway incident occurred between my airplane and a grass cutting service employee.  While taxiing along Taxiway Foxtrot on the way to Taxiway Lima; I felt the airplane make contact with something. I stopped the airplane and shut down the engine. I found a lawn service worker lying on the ground with a headset on and an edge trimmer by his side. He was lying on his back. My passenger asked him how he was and he responded with '[expletive language]'. After contacting the local authorities the County Sheriff and a Fire Rescue team showed up at the site. The individual was taken to hospital to determine his needs. No blood or broken bones where identified. The total aircraft damage was to the plastic wing tip light cover and the sheet metal fence to keep light from glaring into the cockpit on the very wing tip of the airplane.I realize this report might not be necessary as the incident was while taxiing at a private airport; but filed this information on an as needed basis.
Small aircraft pilot reported the aircraft wing tip struck a lawn service worker during taxi.
