Understanding Indemnity & Additional Insured Endorsements

The developer and general contractor are often named as defendants in construction defect litigation, regardless of where the liability might eventually be found. As a result, it is common for subcontractors, material suppliers, and other participants in a construction project to name the developer and general contractor as additional insureds on an endorsement to their own commercial general liability (CGL) insurance policies. This allows the developer and general contractor to tender the defense of the claims to the insurer of one or more subcontractors who may be responsible for the problems alleged in the complaint for construction defects.

Our insurance clients have come to depend upon us to aggressively pursue all avenues of coverage for their insureds to fully protect their insured and spread the risk. We analyze relevant documentation at the outset of the case to determine the availability of insurance coverage and indemnity protection. We have the experience and staff to aggressively pursue all available insurance coverage and effectively manage the insurance portion of small and large cases.
