Reconciling Contractual Obligations With Policy Terms to Maximize Coverage
Recording of a 90-minute CLE webinar/teleconference with Q&A
Conducted on Wednesday, August 1, 2012
Recorded event now available
This CLE webinar will provide insurance counsel with a review of key issues in additional insured coverage, the interrelationship between contractual indemnification and additional insured coverage, best practices to maximize AI coverage, and the use of AI and contractual indemnification in construction contracts.
Description
Additional insured coverage is commonly used by parties in many types of business relationships to spread and transfer risk. The party seeking to be named as an additional insured should pursue the broadest form of coverage available.
Another party is often named as an additional insured under a liability policy in conjunction with indemnity agreements. Understanding the relationship between contractual indemnification, insurance policy requirements, and additional insured status is key to maximizing coverage and recovery.
Additional insured coverage and contractual indemnification are common risk management tools for construction projects, so much of the case law in this area emanates from construction litigation. Construction contracts give rise to unique challenges in drafting risk transfer provisions.
Listen as our panel of insurance attorneys discusses additional insured coverage, contractual indemnification, and the use of AI coverage and indemnification to effectively transfer risk in construction contracts.
