Peter Syregelas and Haley Loutfy Win Dispute Against Purported Additional Insured in Construction Injury Case

Peter Syregelas and Haley Loutfy obtained judgment on the pleadings for an insurer against a purported additional insured which claimed coverage under a policy issued to our client’s named insured. The court held that the subcontract between the named insured and the general contractor did not effectively incorporate the obligation of naming the general contractor’s customer as an additional insured on the subcontractor’s policy. Rather, a detailed reading of the contracts demonstrated that the only duties incorporated were the work quality standards and not the insurance requirements which were contained in a different section of the subcontract. The court also found that a certificate of insurance did not obligate additional insured coverage.
