What Constitutes Insurance Agent Or Broker Negligence

Insurance Contract

Insurance agents, particularly commercial brokers and full-service agents help people seeking insurance obtain the desired insurance products. As a trusted advisor, they are required to understand the insurance needs of their customers based on information the customer provides and guide their customers into the right insurance coverage for their needs (business, home, auto, etc.) – not just fill out forms.

Obtaining coverage is usually just the starting point. A diligent insurance agent remains engaged with their insured customer year over year to make sure that the coverage purchased is the coverage needed over time. Likewise, insureds have an obligation to update their insurance agents or brokers when life or business activities change.

Failing to perform this job according to industry standards in place can result in errors, omissions and mistakes. Any act that impairs the insured person’s ability to obtain policy benefits can subject the insurance agent or broker to liability claims for damages.

Here are some common situations where insurance agent or insurance broker negligence might apply:

  • The insurance agent or broker may not have secured the coverage that was requested during the time period requested.
  • The insurance agent or broker might be responsible if the policy failed to provide coverage for an activity the insured specifically told the agent needed to be covered and which was requested.
  • The insurance agent or broker might make errors during the process of issuing a policy causing them to misstate the amount of coverage offered to the insured party or the time period requested.
  • The insurance agent or broker may present him or herself as an expert regarding a particular type of coverage or insurance policy and fail to miss a nuance in the policy that leaves an insured without necessary insurance coverage.
  • In cases where there is coverage but insurance limits are insufficient to protect the insured, negligence against the insurance agent or broker may be present if the insured provided certain specifics with respect to person or business and the agent specifically recommended less coverage than was necessary.
  • Insurance agents or brokers typically receive initial information regarding an accident or loss in order to start a claim and submit the claim on the insured’s behalf to the insurance company, often preparing the initial paperwork in processing these claims. Errors or inaccuracies made by the insurance agent or broker in completing this paperwork is also basis for negligence.
  • Other forms of negligence may include inaccuracies in the policy application, errors in selecting the right policy, making misstatements and failure to transmit the notice of a claim.

Insurance Agent Or Broker Malpractice Case Results

Atlanta, Georgia personal injury attorney Bryan Baer has handled hundreds of cases involving insurance agent or broker malpractice. The case below demonstrates how courageous and compassionate representation can lead to successful results.

Confidential Six Figure Settlement for Minor Injured on Large Inflatable

Attorney Bryan Baer represented a young girl who was seriously injured on a giant inflatable slide at a state fair. Her injury was due to the negligence of the company who supplied slide and attended to its operation at the fair. Attorney Bryan Baer sued the company that operated the inflatable, but the insurer denied coverage. The insurer’s basis for the denial was that in the insurance application, the insurance agent did not give the insurer sufficient information that the company would be operating large inflatables – which the insurer claimed was a risky business requiring higher premiums than charged. After the Court upheld the insurer’s coverage denial, attorney Bryan Baer pursued an insurance broker malpractice claim against the insurance agency that failed to get the proper coverage and obtained a recovery for the young girl that totaled hundreds of thousands of dollars.
