(Court opinion corrected 9/9/15.) Court erred in finding that injured worker's employer's insurer, to whom defense had been tendered in underlying personal injury construction accident suit, owed no duty to defend cement company alleged to be in charge of construction of building where injury occurred. Third-party complaint against employer makes sufficient allegations that actions or omissions of employer caused employee's injuries.(LYTTON and WRIGHT, concurring.)
