Seems like a simple question doesn’t it? If you have employees you have to carry Workers Compensation and if you don’t you shouldn’t have to, right? Sort of. If you are a general contractor that uses subcontractors it may be a good idea to have coverage in place.

If there is any injury to one of your subcontractors employees you, as the general contractor, will be held responsible in most cases.
