Contractor Liability InsuranceNo, You can purchase Contractors Liability Insurance as a standalone coverage.

Many companies offer Contractors Liability coverage with or without your workman's compensation coverage. Depending on the nature of your business structure, you may not even need Workers comp coverage.

It is perfectly fine for you to purchase the two coverages separately. You may however get a better rate if purchased together because some companies will offer you a discount for placing multiple policies with the same company.

You should hire a licensed contractor. He should already have liability insurance and workmen's comp for his employees.
