Contractors, you need to know this:

1. Insurance companies take the wording of your indemnity agreements seriously. The contracts you have with your subcontractors probably start with the wording ‘to indemnify and hold harmless’ which is good, but that gives the insurance company leeway to pay any claim by reimbursing you after its settled rather than defending you from the beginning. Your contracts need to say ‘to indemnify, hold harmless and defend’ to usually get around this problem.
2. ISO Endorsement CG2139* completely removes contractual liability for indemnity agreements, some subcontractors are buying policies with this endorsement, especially if they drive in their line of work. Many people don't understand the implications, I do & I'll be happy to tell you, as well as why so many GC's want the CG2010 1185 additional insured endorsement.
