Opinion
BENKE, Acting P. J.
An agreement by a subcontractor to indemnify a general contractor for any claim made with respect to the work covered by or incidental to their subcontract may require indemnity even if the claim is not meritorious and the subcontractor is not guilty of any negligence. Thus we affirm the trial court’s judgment in favor of a general contractor against a subcontractor on the general contractor’s claim for indemnity, even though a jury found that the subcontractor had not been guilty of any negligence.
