Charlie, an employee at Paddy's Craft Brewery and Pub, was injured at work by a beer bottle explosion. Charlie sued, among others, Weiss Engineering, which provided faulty sterilization equipment purchased by Paddy's. In their negotiation to complete the sale of said equipment, BOTH Weiss and Paddy's included boilerplate in their respective contracts requiring the other party to indemnify it if such an accident occurred. Weiss argued that they were not responsible for Charlie's injuries, as Paddy's had indemnified Weiss. Is Weiss right?
