Questions to consider: Does your general liability insurance, professional liability insurance, or product liability insurance protect your personal assets in cases involving frivolous claims? Many independent contractors, whether providing professional business services or specialized construction trades, wisely protect themselves with general liability insurance. But, what happens when a legal judgment exceeds the limits of these policies? In many cases, frivolous claims may qualify as exclusions in your traditional business insurance policies. Questions to consider: Could your business survive spending the amount of time and money necessary to defend yourself in a lawsuit? More often than not, the answer is no. As an independent contractor, your time can be your most valuable asset. Questions to consider: Do your client contracts address all unforeseen complications? No matter how well you plan ahead, it’s almost impossible to prepare for all future issues that may arise. Questions to consider: Are you prepared for a reduced income in the event of a suspension, demotion, or termination? Many traditional policies restrict certain aspects of liability coverage that professionals should have in place. Standard policies have exclusions and limitations and might not have adequate coverage.

Know the Facts

In May 2017, 10.6 million people were employed as independent contractors. At this same time, independent contractors — by far the largest form of alternative work and a category that includes Uber and Lyft drivers — were estimated to make up 6.9% of total employment.

Nearly 8 in 10 independent workers have faced client nonpayment in their careers.
