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.
