## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- concluding that indemnification clauses are enforceable to cover injuries arising from indemnitor’s negligence or joint negligence of indemnitor and indemnitee

## Opinion text

McEWEN, Judge,
concurring:
I write only to assure that the insightful analysis of the indemnification issue provided in the majority opinion does not obscure the particular conclusion which I find controlling, namely, that the contract between the parties revealed their expectation that IPS would be bound to indemnify Zenith for liability imposed upon Zenith where IPS was at least partly responsible, and where Zenith was not wholly responsible, for the injuries suffered by a claimant.
