Does upwork provide liability insurance for freelancers?

As a new freelancer, I understand I need to get liability insurance. Is this included on the services the upwork provides?

There is no such thing.

It can only harm a client's chances of success to imagine such a thing.

A freelancer may stop working on a project at any time.

A freelancer may end a contract at any time.

There is no rule against doing so.

Hence the word "FREElancing."

A client may end a contract at any time.

For any reason.

Or for no reason at all.

If I am a client

with a big project 

and a freelancer stops working on it

then I simply assign that freelancer's remaining assigned tasks

to other members of the team.
