Does a contractor need to be on the subcontractors policy as additional insured?
This is not as simple a question as it may seem. Subcontractors generally carry their own liability insurance. TheGeneral Contractor should verify that the sub contractors in…suranceeither matches or exceeds their own policy limits as this is partof the contract terms for almost every general liability policy. In effect if you let an uninsured subcontractor work on your job,unless you endorse your own policy to cover the subcontractor andpay the additional premium, their would be no coverage under theGeneral Contractors insurance policy for liabilities of theSubcontractor. Basically if you get this wrong, the Generalcontractor will be on the hook and out of pocket for all the subsdamages with no coverage for it. If you want the subcontractors covered under the GeneralContractors insurance policy it can certainly be done but will besignificantly more expensive as you would be asking to insure athird party''s work.
