For general contractors, underwriters focus first on: crew trucks, trailers and equipment; and uninsured or underinsured subcontractors becoming the GC's responsibility at audit or after a claim. See the full coverage guide for general contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.

218 active B licenses have a business address in Paso Robles (CSLB, September 2026); 33% carry workers' comp and 63% are filed exempt.
If a sub cannot prove its own workers' comp coverage, carriers typically add that sub's payroll to your policy at audit. Collecting current certificates from every sub is the simplest protection.
