Yes. Even if the general contractor has coverage, you're still responsible for your liability. Many job sites require proof of insurance before you can work. ### How fast can I get a certificate of insurance (COI)? Most COIs are issued **within 24 hours** — sometimes the same day. We know contracts move fast, and we’re built to help you move faster. ### What’s the difference between general liability and workers’ comp? General liability covers damage or injury you cause to others. Workers’ compensation covers injuries to you or your team while working. Most states require both for certain contractor types.
