A court of the Southern District of Texas granted an additional insured’s motion for summary judgment as to an insurer’s duty to defend an underlying suit regarding a worksite injury but deferred ruling on the duty to indemnify, holding that Texas law, rather than Louisiana law, applies to the dispute and finding that the underlying defendant was an additional insured within the policy such that the insurer has a duty to defend under the eight-corners rule.
