* Note to Viewers: This webcast was produced prior to the California Supreme Court rulings, Crawford v. Weather Shield Mfg (July 2008) and UCD v. CH2M Hill (January 2010). With these decisions the courts may have expanded the law dramatically concerning the application of contractual indemnity provisions in California.
The full impact of these decisions remains to be seen, but in any event, the conclusions reached by the Court should certainly be carefully considered because California precedents are often cited in other jurisdictions.
To find out why your contracts should 1) limit any indemnity obligations to claims that arise solely out of your own actual negligence and 2) expressly exclude the duty to defend, contact your agents.
To our XL Insurance Customers: Please refer to XL Insurance Trend Alerts, Crawford v. Weather Shield Mfg (October 2008) and UDC v. CH2M Hill (March 2010), for more complete information and contact your agent for further assistance.
Programs are registered with the national AIA, and units earned by architects are directly reported to the AIA by XL Insurance's Design Professional group. Engineers can, in general, use certificates of completion to self-report Professional Development Hours. Not all states and licensing boards accept these programs for learning units and some do not recognize the HSW qualification.
