Liable for what? Technically the independent contractor (1099 person) should carry insurance that will cover any and all liability that comes back to them.
What if it against the independents wishes?

Only asking because where I work we drive for contractors..but a few buddies of mine who work for a different contractor are paid 1099 style and they have no say against it. They drive the contractors vehicles and work set schedules..Also highly doubt they are on the vehicles insurance policy. The guy is very cheap and just interested in making money.
