About Insurance Broker Negligence

Experienced Counsel in Property, Liability, Health, Life & Disability Insurance Litigation

Did your insurance company pay to your limits, but you still have substantial damage?

If your insurance company has paid your policy limits, but you still have substantial damage, then your insurance agent and broker may have negligently procured your insurance for the wrong amount. Also, if your insurance company had denied a claim that your agent or broker told you would be covered, your agent and broker could be liable to you. In other cases, agents and brokers have acted negligently by not properly disclosing to carriers information provided by their clients.

Did an agent or broker complete an application for you, but your insurance claim was denied?

If a carrier denies your claim on the grounds that you made misrepresentations in your application that an agent or broker filled out for you, then it is possible that the agent or broker could be responsible for the denial of your insurance claim. We frequently file negligence actions against agents and brokers who failed to fulfill their promises to insureds of procuring the promised insurance.

Agency and Broker Negligence Case Results

Grover Products v. BB&T Insurance Services of California, Inc. 

Agent & Broker Negligence story. Grover Products manufacturers and sells the air horns for trucks and fire engines. Grover Products sued its insurance broker for negligence. After a fire destroyed one of its interdependent manufacturing buildings, it was discovered that the insurance coverage for loss of business income for the burned building was inadequate. It appeared that the broker had transposed the business income numbers on two of the buildings, resulting in too much coverage for the office building and too little for the manufacturing building. On the eve of trial, the case settled at mediation.
