Named Additional Insured

Named Additional Insureds are also considered to be owners of the policy. They have full access to coverage with few or no restrictions, but share policy limits with the Named Insured. They are entitled to notice of policy change and cancellations and can be held responsible if main policyholder is unable to meet the financial obligations of policy. Named Insureds are often affiliates, partners or co-owners of the Named Insured’s business.

Additional Insured

Additional Insureds are added through endorsement, which extends insured status and confers coverage based upon a business relationship with the Named Insured. It is important to pay attention to the scope of coverage the endorsement allows for to ensure there is compliance with the contractual requirements in place. Most Franchise Agreements call for the “broadest” form, extending coverage beyond the minimal vicarious liability. Additional Insureds are not able to make changes to the policy. Typically a landlord or franchisor will require Additional Insured status.
