“... assuming arguendo that the allegations of plaintiff’s petition indicate that CLECO was joined as a party defendant solely on the basis of its own alleged negligence this circumstance does not deprive CLECO of its contractual right of indemnity if it is otherwise shown to be entitled thereto. In matters of indemnity the allegations of a claimant’s pleadings, as to the cause of injury, are not determinative of an indemnitee’s right to indemnification. Rather, whether or not indemnification should be allowed can be determined only after liability is fixed. ( 383 So.2d at 1083 ; emphasis supplied)”
