New Dangers at the Intersection of Liability and Coverage

Olivia M. Gross, senior partner at Newman Meyers Kreines Gross Harris, and Julian D. Ehrlich, a senior vice president at Aon Construction Services Group, write that while the Second Circuit in 'Preferred' did not address the primary CGL carrier's duty to defend the named insured employer, public policy would weigh against leaving the policyholder without a defense as a consequence of fulfilling its procurement obligation naming the owner and general contractor as additional insureds on its CGL policy.

The Fall of a Literal Interpretation of Labor Law §240

Julian D. Ehrlich, senior vice president, claims, for Aon Construction Solutions Group, writes that in 1985, the Court of Appeals described §240 as "self executing" and "mandatory," establishing its own "unvarying standard," but recent cases demonstrate that the court's interpretation of this strict liability statute has moved away from a simple literal interpretation toward a nuanced emphasis on circumstantial reasonableness.

Latest Move in Falling Object Cases Under Labor Law §240

Stephen M. Cohen, a partner with Fabiani, Cohen & Hall, and Julian D. Ehrlich, senior vice president Claims at Aon, write that in just over 10 years since 'Narducci,' a high water mark for the Court of Appeals' application of Section 240, a number of decisions have dramatically imposed a new broader, vaguer standard that focuses on forces rather than falls.

Ehrlich, senior vice president, claims, for Aon Construction Services Group, review the recent Court of Appeals holding that a Workers' Compensation Board's determination regarding the duration of an injured worker's disability was a factual determination that "should be given preclusive effect...relevant to lost earnings and compensation for medical expenses" in the claimant/plaintiff's third-party tort action.

Ehrlich, senior vice president, claims, for Aon Construction Services Group, writes that there have been three trends curtailing the use of additional insured status as a means of risk transfer.

Recovering Attorney's Fees in Construction-Site Cases

Julian D. Ehrlich, claims counsel for the AIG Construction Risk Management Group, writes that in New York construction-site accident cases, owners typically tender defense and indemnity to general contractors and construction managers who in turn make similar tenders down the so-called chain to the subcontractors. Reimbursement of legal fees, which can be substantial, is usually an item included in these tenders and a part of the negotiation of takeovers.
