Indemnity and Additional Insured Endorsements

Monitoring and Managing Construction Insurance

Contact Mike Childers at Turley, Swan, Childers, & Torrens, PC, in Phoenix if you need advice about your rights as a developer or general contractor with respect to insurance coverage on the part of your subcontractors. With many years of experience with the resolution of claims against and between construction professionals under comprehensive general liability (CGL) coverage, we know how to help you get the most out of your protection and avoid gaps in your coverage.

The developer and the general contractor are often named as defendants in construction defects litigation, regardless of where the liability might eventually be found. As a result, it is common for every subcontractor, material supplier, and other participants in a construction project to name the developer and general contractor as additional insureds on an endorsement to their own CGL insurance policies, especially in projects not involving wrap policies. This allows the developer and general contractor to tender defense of the claims against them to the insurer of one or more subcontractors who are most likely responsible for the problems alleged in the complaint for defects or warranty problems more subcontractors who may bear some responsibility for the alleged defects.

At Turley, Swan, Childers & Torrens, PC, 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 the staff, to tender the claims to the right insurers, aggressively pursue all available insurance coverage, and manage the insurance portion of small and large cases.

In any case we can assist our client in securing all available insurance coverage in response to pending claims and litigation.
