Insurance coverage for Professional Services

E&O first, then general liability as headcount grows.

  • Do independent contractors need liability insurance?

    In practice, yes — and rarely just one policy. Working 1099s typically carry general liability, commercial auto for any vehicle used on the job (personal auto policies exclude business driving), and often workers' comp even solo, because GCs and clients enforce coverage through certificate demands and premium audits, not because a statute names contractors.
