In this insurance declaratory judgment action, plaintiff CP v. TS Fulton Owner (“Fulton Owner”) brings causes of action against its contractor U.S. Crane & Rigging LLC (“U.S. Crane”) and subcontractor NYC Crane Hoist & Rigging LLC (“NYC Crane,” and collectively the “Crane defendants”) for failure to procure insurance and contractual indemnification and related declaratory relief, as well as seeking a declaratory judgment that defendants Ironshore Specialty Insurance Company (“Ironshore”), Lexington Insurance Company (“Lexington”), and HDI Global Specialty SE (“HDI Global”) are required to provide coverage under their respective policies to Fulton Owner, and that Fulton Owner is an additional insured under the policies.
