U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-2043
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Federal Employers' Liability Act. In suit alleging Corman
was obligated to indemnify and defendant the railroad under the parties'
Contractor Work Agreement, the district court did not err in finding for
Corman as nothing in the parties' agreement showed that it extended to
claims which were unrelated to Corman's common-law negligence and
the record, as a matter of law, showed that no negligence could be
attributed to Corman; the indemnification provision in the agreement did
not trigger the insured contract exception in a separate insurance policy.
