Can a business who hires a company for contract work and then helps their employees it has hired go into business in direct competition on same job be held liable?
Depends on the Contract. Alot of subcontractor contracts prevent this. If the Prime contractor has received an estimate from a subcontractor and the subcontractor is working at the site or project under a estimate or purchase order then yes, the Prime contractor can be held liable for all monies under the contract if the subcontractor can prove that the employees were on their payroll and during this project the Prime contractor solicited Sub employees to become independent contractors.

What happens if a contractor does not have general liability insurance?
The contractor may not be able to qualify for jobs, as most principals require proof of insurance as a condition of the contract; this is especially true for public sector jobs. If the contractor is responsible for damage to the property owner or others who would otherwise have been within the ambit of coverage, the contractor would him/herself be liable for the damages if at fault. Further, if sued, the contractor would be liable for the payment of his/her own attorney's fees and court costs to defend the suit. In contrast, one of the benefits of general liability insurance is that the insurer pays all or most of the reasonable costs of investigation, court costs, and hires and pays an attorney to defend the insured.

Can a person be an employee and an independent contractor at the some time?
yes they can - a prime contractor holds the actual contract and then in essence hires a subcontractor to do some of the work. an independent contractor is not an actual employee of whoever is paying him for his work. so there is no reason one person can't be both and often they are
