Miller-Davis Company v. Ahrens Construction, Inc

Summary

The court held that Ahrens's contractual indemnity obligations covered Miller-Davis's costs of correcting Ahrens's nonconforming roof work. Sherman Lake YMCA's written corrective-work agreement constituted a claim or demand triggering the indemnity provisions, and Ahrens's refusal to perform the corrective work caused Miller-Davis's losses. The indemnity claim accrued independently from the earlier installation breach and was therefore timely under the six-year contract limitations period.
