Common use of Tort Liability Clause in Contracts

Tort Liability. Section 895.2 of the Government Code imposes certain tort liability jointly upon public entities solely by reason of such entities being parties to an agreement as defined in Section 895 of said Code. Therefore, the parties hereto, as between themselves, pursuant to the authorization contained in Sections 895.4 and 895.6 of the Government Code, each assumes the full liability imposed upon it or any of its officers, agents, or employees by law for injury caused by a negligent or wrongful act or omission occurring in the performance of this Agreement, to the same extent that such liability would be imposed in the absence of Section 895.2 of the Government Code. To achieve this purpose, each party hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other parties for any loss, cost or expense that may be imposed upon such other parties solely by virtue of Section 895.2 of the Government Code.
