We’re covered, right? Additional insured provision doesn’t guarantee protection

Description

Abstract: Construction subcontracts often contain provisions requiring a subcontractor to name additional insureds under its commercial general liability policy. But the existence of such a provision is no guarantee that another contractor is indeed protected. This article reviews a recent case demonstrating this danger and offers tips on how to determine one’s level of protection. Cincinnati Insurance Co. v. Harleysville Insurance Co., No. 16-3929-cv (L), October 4, 2017 (2nd Cir.)
