Additional Insured\u2019s Action Against Insurer Dismissed for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The takeaway of this article is for you to consider updating your clients’ insurance requirements to require a\u00a0specific<\/em>\u00a0additional insured endorsement<\/a>. This endorsement requires a lower-tier contractor\/policyholder to identify your client\u2019s company by name in the additional insured endorsement to protect your client from having to travel to a remote forum not of your client\u2019s choosing to enforce the additional insured obligation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of specific additional insured endorsement forms, such as ISO Forms CG 20 10 11 85 or CG 20 10 04 13, should better establish the required personal jurisdiction link between the insurer\u2019s actions (issuance of additional insured coverage) and the residence of the additional insured (if such jurisdictional information is provided on the endorsement). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\u00a0D.F. Pray, Inc. v. Wesco Insurance Company<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u201cD.F. Pray<\/em>\u201d), the Massachusetts Appeals Court dismissed a general contractor\u2019s complaint against its subcontractor\u2019s insurer for lack of personal jurisdiction. The insurer had issued a \u201cblanket additional insured\u201d policy to the subcontractor, which provided additional insured coverage to parties that the subcontractor agreed to provide such coverage by contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\u00a0D.F. Pray<\/em>, the subcontractor had agreed by contract to provide such additional insured coverage to the general contractor. Still, the court held that act alone was insufficient to make the insurer subject to the jurisdiction of the general contractor\u2019s principal place of business (Massachusetts). Something more was needed than the issuance of a blanket additional insured endorsement to a New York subcontractor, who only performs work in New York, to demonstrate that the insurer purposefully availed itself to be sued in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The outcome may have been different if the general contractor required the subcontractor by contract to provide a specific, not blanket, additional insured endorsement that specifically named the general contractor and its\u00a0residence, such as below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D.F. Pray<\/em><\/strong> Action \u2013 The Facts, Additional Insured Coverage, and Lawsuit<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

D.F. Pray (Pray) is a Rhode Island corporation with a principal place of business in Massachusetts. Pray was an additional insured on a commercial general liability policy that Wesco, a Delaware corporation with principal administrative offices in New York, issued to one of Pray\u2019s subcontractors, Xtreme Drywall & Acoustics, Inc. (Xtreme), a New York corporation, covering Xtreme\u2019s work on Pray\u2019s office renovation project in New York. Among other things, the subcontract required Xtreme to indemnify Pray for losses caused by Xtreme\u2019s negligence. It also required Xtreme to maintain a commercial general liability policy on which Pray would be an additional insured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xtreme\u2019s additional insured endorsement covering Pray was a blanket endorsement. Xtreme\u2019s application for commercial general liability coverage from Wesco stated that Xtreme did all of its business in New York and sought various \u201cblanket additional insured\u201d coverages without referring specifically to Pray or any other person or entity. Wesco issued the policy, which included three additional insured form endorsements, none of which expressly named Pray as an additional insured. Instead, two of the endorsements, in the space provided for the names of additional insured, stated \u201c[b]lanket as required by written contract\u201d and the third endorsement amended the policy definition of the term \u201cwho is an insured\u201d to include \u201cany person or organization for whom you are preforming operations when you and such person or organization have agreed in writing in a contract or agreement that such person or organization be added as an additional insured on your policy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several months into the project, Pray encountered problems with Xtreme\u2019s work on a twelve-story mechanical shaft, requiring Pray to demolish other portions of the building adjacent to the shaft wall to gain access to and repair the work. Pray asked Wesco to indemnify it for \u201cproperty damage\u201d caused by Xtreme\u2019s negligence, and Wesco, not disputing that Pray was an additional insured, denied the claim asserting that Pray sought indemnification for a merely economic loss, not \u201cproperty damage\u201d caused by an \u201coccurrence\u201d as the policy defined those terms. Pray subsequently filed an action in Massachusetts against Wesco for breach of the insurance contract, declaratory relief, and unfair settlement practices under Massachusetts law. Wesco moved to dismiss Pray\u2019s complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blanket Additional Insured Endorsement Meets Personal Jurisdiction<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Because Wesco is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in New York, Pray had the burden of demonstrating that Massachusetts had personal jurisdiction over non-resident Wesco. The Court found that Wesco had certain minimum contacts with Massachusetts as Wesco had sold insurance policies in Massachusetts for at least twelve years prior to 2016, had more than one hundred licensed agents in Massachusetts, and in 2015, generated approximately $30 million in direct insurance premiums in Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the difficulty for Pray was that its claims under the policy did not arise out of or relate to Wesco\u2019s activities in Massachusetts. While Wesco was generally in the business of selling insurance policies in Massachusetts and elsewhere, the particular policy that Wesco sold to Xtreme, in which Wesco contracted to insure Pray as an additional insured and which gave rise to Pray\u2019s claims, was not sold in Massachusetts, not sold to a Massachusetts resident, not related to a Massachusetts project, and not otherwise related to Wesco\u2019s contacts with Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importantly, while Wesco contracted with Xtreme to cover additional insureds such as Pray, this transaction did not create a sufficient relationship with the Commonwealth for two reasons. First, for personal jurisdiction, the defendant\u2019s relationship must result from purposeful actions by the defendant<\/em> that create a connection with the forum state. Here, because the additional insured endorsement was a blanket endorsement, not naming Pray expressly or identifying Pray\u2019s principal place of business in Massachusetts, there was no evidence that when contracting with Xtreme that Wesco knew of Xtreme\u2019s contract with Massachusetts-based Pray. In other words, because the additional insured endorsement was a blanket endorsement, not naming Pray or its connection with Massachusetts, Wesco did not choose to extend such coverage to Pray, knowing of Pray\u2019s connection to Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accordingly, the Court held that a blanket additional insured endorsement did not establish any meaningful suit-related contacts with Massachusetts such that Wesco should have reasonably anticipated being hailed to court in Massachusetts. While it might have been foreseeable that Xtreme could add a Massachusetts entity like Pray as a blanket additional insured and Pray might later sue Wesco, foreseeability alone is not a sufficient benchmark for personal jurisdiction. Therefore, the Court held that Wesco\u2019s contacts with Massachusetts were unrelated to claims in this case, and insuring Xtreme and indirectly Pray via the blanket additional insured endorsement did not create a sufficient connection with Massachusetts to satisfy personal jurisdiction. Therefore, the Court dismissed Pray\u2019s complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Takeaway<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As the general contractor in\u00a0D.F. Pray<\/em>\u00a0found out, blanket additional insured endorsements can create issues with personal jurisdiction because the insurance company has no way of knowing who is covered or where the insurance company may reasonably be brought to court by an additional insured. To avoid this outcome, those named as additional insureds should consider requiring its lower-tier contractors to use the \u201cspecific\u201d additional insured endorsements, expressly naming the additional insured\u2019s business, state of incorporation, and principal place of business to ensure that the insurance company knows that it may be hailed to court in the jurisdiction where the additional insured is located. This will prevent your clients from having to travel to the forum of the lower-tier insurers to enforce the additional insured coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
