As an independent sub-contractor are you required to get professional liability insurance?

This depends on a number of things. It's hard to say without knowing what kind of work you are sub-contracting. First determine if you need Professional Liability coverage Or Commercial Liability Coverage. They are very different products. Most General Contractors do require the subs to carry insurance. Otherwise the General Contractor will have to pay much more for insurance coverage that effectively covers his or her own activities as well as those of the sub-contractors. If the General Contractor you are doing work for already has coverage for his subs under their insurance (usually not). What is the nature of your agreement with the General Contractor. Some Contractors insurance policies cover subs while others do not.

How much contractor insurance should a condo have?

The answer depends on how the contractor is employed by the association. If the contractor is bonded, insured and licensed -- best practices indicate this is the best position for the association, to require these documents from a contractor -- then the association's insurance requirements are different from those required by an association that hires a casual laborer. Review your insurance requirements with your broker, and describe how you plan to use the contractor on a regular basis, or a one-time basis. Your broker can best advise you about the insurance you need.

Does an attorney need malpractice insurance if he is under 1099?

The 1099 only represents that the Attorney is working on a contract basis (self Employed) rather than as an employee. If the attorney is in fact a self employed independent contractor then this likely means that no coverage is afforded by the employer. If this is the case, then it would be a good idea for the Attorney to get some Malpractice or Professional Liability Insurance so there will be coverage in the event of a malpractice suit. Otherwise the attorney will be out of pocket for any related expenses in the event of a claim. The 1099 itself has no bearing on the attorneys need for Malpractice or professional liability coverage. It only indicates that he or she is a sel employed independent contractor.
