Last week, we discussed how Utah Applies Workers Compensation Exclusive Remedy Protection to Wrap-Up General Contractors.

The Second Circuit recently asked the California Supreme Court to clarify how two primary general liability policies should contribute to the settlement of a construction accident claim, in a situation where one policy contained an excess "other insurance" clause and the other did not.

Workers' Compensation is considered a quid pro quo between employer and employee. The worker enjoys compensation benefits for work related injuries (regardless of who is at fault for such injuries) in exchange for surrendering the right to sue the employer for damages (with certain exceptions). This limitation is known as the "exclusive remedy" rule.

A big decision in favor of policyholders came out in Iowa this month.

Policyholders need to be aware that insurance companies are attempting to restrict CGL coverage through exclusions for liability caused by non-union labor.

Georgia recently broadened its anti-indemnity statute (O.C.G.A. § 13-8-2) as it applies to contracts for engineering, architectural, and/or land surveying services.
