This CLE webinar will provide attendees with a review of key issues in additional insured (AI) coverage, the interrelationship between contractual indemnification and AI coverage, and best practices to maximize AI coverage and for insurers to minimize exposure.

Description

AI coverage coverage is commonly used by parties in construction contracts to allocate and transfer risk. Parties seeking to be named as an AI desire the broadest form of coverage available and wish to avoid surprises once a claim is made against them.

Understanding the relationship between contractual indemnification, insurance policy requirements, and AI status is key to maximizing coverage and recovery. For example, insurers are usually required to defend and indemnify the additional insured under AI coverage, but the insurers’ express duty to defend may not exist under a contractual indemnification theory.

Listen as our panel of construction experts discusses the use of AI coverage and indemnification to effectively transfer risk in construction contracts and best practices for both contractors and insurers to maximize coverage and minimize exposure.
