United States Eleventh Circuit
ROYAL INS. CO. OF AM. v. WHITAKER CONTRACTING CORP., 99-12095
Because under Alabama law a sub-contractor's indemnity agreement with a contractor included the contractor's non-delegable duty to maintain the safety of a roadway during paving, the sub-contractor must reimburse the contractor's insurer for settlement of a suit on the contractor's behalf, for death resulting from obscured visibility during the paving.
