Additional Insured & Additional Named Insured

An additional insured is an entity (individual, partnership, or corporation) that is protected under the terms of an insurance policy issued to the insured named on declarations page. The additional insured is added by endorsement. The addition may be temporary (as in a building owner temporarily adding a contractor) or permanent (as with tenants in a commercial building naming a landlord).An additional insured is extended protection under the named insured’s policy. This means that the additional insured is protected, under the named insured’s policy, for any loss that arises out of the operations performed by, or on behalf of, the named insured. For example, suppose that Jim owns a dry cleaner inhe has leased from Sue. Jim has commercial general liability coverage and has named Sue, his landlord, as an additional insured. Jim cleans his floors one day before opening and fails to remove all the water and soap. A customer walks in, slips, and breaks an arm. The customer sues Jim for negligence in maintenance of the premises and Sue as well. Sue, as an additional insured, is covered under Jim’s policy. Note: This does not mean that Sue does not need her own liability insurance. There may be cases where someone is hurt on the premises and it is the landlord’s negligence. In this case,

a building however, Sue’s insurance would pay only if Jim’s insurance pays the policy limit.

Additional Named Insured

An entity can also be added as an additional named insured. In this case, the first named insured is extending coverage to the entire operations of the additional named insured. In the previous example, Jim would then cover Sue if she failed to maintain the sidewalk in front of a pizza parlor several hundred feet away from Jim’s dry cleaner.

Although they are common, the named insured and additional named insured endorsements are not uniformly worded and there is some confusion as to what exactly is covered. Policyholders should carefully consult an insurance professional before adding the endorsement.
