Until recently, contractual liability coverage under commercial general liability (CGL) and umbrella/excess liability policies was largely ignored, particularly when a broad additional insured endorsement was available, and one often was. In 1988, ISO introduced a contractual liability limitation endorsement, CG 21 39, which has the effect of eliminating paragraph g. of the "insured contract" definition dealing with tort liability assumed. The latest additional insured endorsement for owners, lessees or contractors, CG 20 10, introduced in 2004, attempts to align its coverage scope with the coverage provided by the amendment of insured contract definition provided in endorsement CG 24 26. It is not unusual today to find indemnitees, despite their bargaining power, compromising their con...
It's a fine line between victory and defeat. Just ask Rockwell Automation, Inc. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, just put a $97.6 million defeat right back at its door. Rockwell caught a break a couple of years ago when its attorney convinced a trial judge that the company was entitled to a contractual liability limitation after a jury awarded Kansas City Power & Light $452 million after one of the power company's plants was destroyed in an explosion.

Reviewing the insurance provisions of contracts is not what all producers would consider as being part of their service portfolio for insureds. In other cases, particularly with regard to the construction business, many contractors may get the opportunity to sign the entire contract but are denied the right to review insurance policies to determine how coverage may compare with contractual requirements. Producer/consultants need to keep their guard up when dealing with contracts because the attorneys or others who draft contracts do not always understand the insurance nuances. Many developers and general contractors have long relied on the construction contract provisions of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) as their model. While this is not the forum in which to discuss the di...
