An Indemnification agreement that requires the subcontractor to indemnify and hold harmless the owner or contractor for any claims arising out of or resulting from performance of the subcontractor’s work is a “broad form” of indemnity.
This type of provision would contemplate that if the general contractor or owner is found statutorily liable then pursuant to the indemnity agreement liability passes to the subcontractor, regardless of whether the subcontractor is at fault. This provision is enforceable, assuming that there was no negligence found against the owner or general contractor.
