The Supreme Court of Nevada concluded that a general contractor (the "Indemnitee") may be indemnified by the sub-contractor (the "Indemnifier") where the sole cause of the claim was the negligence of the general contractor, but only if the contract specifically stated this duty. Unless this obligation is specifically stated, the duty of the sub-contractor is limited to those claims that are directly attributable to the sub-contractor’s scope of work and does not include defending against claims arising from the general contractor’s own negligence.
This Hold-Harmless (Indemnity) Agreement does not specifically state that the general contractor is indemnified against claims arising from the general contractor’s own negligence.
