Waiver of Immunity Under Industrial Insurance Act Sample Clauses
The Waiver of Immunity Under Industrial Insurance Act clause removes the legal protection that employers typically have against lawsuits from employees for workplace injuries, which is provided by industrial insurance laws. In practice, this means that if an employee is injured on the job, the employer cannot use the industrial insurance act as a defense to avoid liability in certain legal claims, such as those involving third-party actions or indemnity obligations. This clause is primarily used to ensure that employers remain responsible for specific liabilities, even when workers' compensation laws would otherwise shield them, thereby allocating risk more clearly between contracting parties.
