Indemnification Agreements Elizabeth A. Mazzella 07 Jun 1995 13:47 EST

Matthew,

I would say that in your situation I  would still require an
indemnification agreement -- I know that recent moves to change
product liability limits through legislation at the federal level
have generated some talk about a FDA approval serving as a basis on
which a company can say that they were not negligent as a defense in
product liability, but as far as I know none of that has come to pass.
As long as there is a potential for a product liability suit, I would
say that there is also the potential that you could get pulled into
it as the organization that administered the drug --

Also, we always have companies indemnify us for their USE of any
of the results/data that we provide under the agreement
