Do independent contractors need business insurance in West Virginia? 

Independent contractors may not be legally required to carry every policy. Clients and project owners often require evidence of general liability, professional liability, auto, or workers’ compensation coverage. The worker’s actual legal status also matters. Calling someone an independent contractor does not, by itself, determine whether the person is an employee.
