Additional Information


General liability policies normally do not cover liability arising from joint ventures unless they are scheduled as an insured. A manuscript endorsement can sometimes be added to handle this exposure. Otherwise, specific coverage arrangements must be made whenever the insured becomes involved in a joint venture.
