INDEMNITY IN IOWA CONSTRUCTION LAW
Roger W. Stone & Jeffrey A. Stone
Article Introduction
Indemnity issues pervade Iowa construction law. Before work even begins on a construction site, the issue of indemnity often makes contract formation difficult. Indemnity raises complex issues of insurance coverage and endorsements. Claims of indemnity invariably follow any construction accident or loss. A surety’s obligation raises many indemnity issues after a principal defaults or goes bankrupt.
This Article will survey Iowa court decisions on indemnity in the construction field, discuss the most common standard contract provisions, and address a legislative proposal to limit the enforcement of certain indemnity contracts. Hopefully, the Article provides useful analysis and guidance for attorneys and members of the construction industry.
