Tred R. Eyerly - Insurance Law Hawaii

The appellate court affirmed a party’s right to pursue both coverage as an additional insured while also seeking to enforce a contractual indemnity claim. Daniello v. J.T. Magen & Co., Inc., 2026 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 1994 (N.Y. App. Div. March 31, 2026).

The lower court granted defendant/third party defendant L&K Partners, Inc.’s motion for leave to reargue its prior motion for summary judgment against third party defendant United States Information Systems, Inc. (USIS, Inc.) on its contractual and common-law indemnity claims, and, upon re-argument, granted the motion. USIS appealed.
