There are numerous ways that contract parties can shift the risk of certain types of losses between each other. One approach is to require one party to list the other, protected party as an additional insured on its own purchased insurance policies, thereby giving the protected party direct access to insurance coverage. Such agreements often appear in circumstances in which one party's services or activities may expose another party to a liability.
