Order, Supreme Court, New York County (William A. Wetzel,
Montefiore and KeySpan were clearly additional insureds under the liability policy issued by Ohio Casualty to Trystate. Furthermore, in the absence of any language in the subcontract between KeySpan and Trystate to the contrary, the policy was to provide primary coverage subject to other provisions of the contract and policy (see e.g. Tishman Constr. Corp. of N.Y. v American Mfrs. Mut. Ins. Co., 303 AD2d 323 [2003]). In this case, the policy provided coverage to additional parties only where the cause of an accident was not solely the result of negligence by the additional insureds. Since we find issues of fact as to whether the absence of the protective shroud around the water pump was solely a result of the additional insureds’ negligence, any declaration as to the ultimate duty to indemnify, as well as whether coverage will be primary, must await adjudication of the underlying lawsuit. In view of our finding that coverage cannot be resolved as a matter of law, plaintiffs are directed to comply with outstanding discovery requests. Concur — Buckley, EJ., Tom, Marlow, Gonzalez and Catterson, JJ.
