Who's First in Line? Indemnity Provisions and Contractual Liability Coverage in “Other Insurance” Clauses

Businesses regularly enter contracts in which one party agrees to provide the other with two types of protection against financial risk: (i) an agreement to indemnify the other party for any liability arising out of the first party's activities; and (ii) an agreement to procure a liability insurance policy (or policies) on which the other party is named as an additional insured. These indemnity and insurance-procurement obligations may be most common to construction contracts—in which a subcontractor typically provides protection to the general contractor—but they may also appear in all manner of business agreements, including joint ventures, mergers, or other corporate undertakings.
