Section Content:
Facts: Engineer A, a civil engineer, requires a broad indemnification provision in all of his agreements where he provides pollution-related services. Under the agreement, the client is required to "indemnify and hold harmless Engineer A for any damages or legal costs (including attorneys fees) arising from Engineer A's negligence in the performance of pollution-related services." Engineer A had inserted the indemnification provision during the early 1980's at the time of the "liability crisis" because of the unavailability of pollution-related insurance coverage. In recent years, the insurance industry has re-entered the pollution insurance market and now provides limited pollution coverage for an additional premium.
