RCW Title 51. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Owner shall defend, hold harmless, reimburse and indemnify the Contractor, and its partners, owners, members, officers, agents and employees (the “ Contractor Indemnified Parties”) from, for and against any and all claims, demands, losses, costs, damages, expenses, penalties, actions, suits and liabilities, including without limitation investigation costs, attorneys’ and expert witnesses’ fees and other legal expenses, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Work, including without limitation injury or death to persons or damage to property of any kind, to the extent such claims, demands, losses, costs, damages, expenses, penalties, actions, suits or liabilities are caused by the negligence, breach of contract, breach of warranty, or other wrongful acts or omissions, whether active or passive, including but not limited to failure to comply with applicable laws, on the part of the Owner, its contractors, or the partners, officers, directors, agents, or employees of any of them, or anyone for whose acts Owner is responsible. If claims are asserted against any Contractor Indemnified Party by an employee of the Owner or anyone directly or indirectly employed by Owner, or anyone for whose acts Owner may be liable, the Owner’s indemnification obligation under this section shall not be limited by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits payable to the employee by or for the Owner under workers’ compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts. The Owner agrees that its indemnification obligations extend to claims, demands, and causes of action brought by or on behalf of its employees or agents. Only to the extent necessary to fulfill those obligations, the Owner, by mutual negotiation, hereby waives any immunity that would otherwise be available against claims brought by employees or agents under the Industrial Insurance provisions of RCW Title 51.
