Adopting a Fault-based Additional Insured Standard
Summary: This article examines the revisions that the Insurance Services Office (ISO) has made to its additional insured endorsements. The first section of this piece is a description of the additional insured problem that sent ISO to the drawing board—and then back again; this problem traces its roots directly to certain judicial decisions, some of which are discussed in this article. The next section examines ISO's proposed solutions to the judicial decisions. Finally, the question of whether ISO's revisions will achieve the intended purpose will be considered.
