Lots of freelancers do have insurance against being sued (some large companies require proof of this before they'll even consider working with you). And of course as a freelancer, in most countries you don't get the same access to benefits as you would as an employee, so you might want health insurance and/or life insurance. You might want to do a bit of research instead of asking this question in a forum and taking one person's opinion as the definitive response.
