Description

Commercial insurance agents and brokers are increasingly included in coverage litigation as back-up defendants in case no coverage is found under the policy as written. Commercial policyholders assert a wide range of tort and contract claims against the agents and brokers, such as failure to follow coverage instructions. This book provides a detailed analysis of these claims, along with the defenses available to the agents and brokers. It also examines in detail principal-agent claims and fiduciary-duty claims against insurance brokers who allegedly failed to disclose commissions from insurers and other conflicts of interest to policyholders.

Features

  • Includes detailed analysis of the Spitzer-type fiduciary-duty claims being asserted against insurance brokers for nondisclosure of commissions
  • Includes sample discovery to be used in indemnity litigation between agents and insurers
  • Offers analysis of coverage issues agents and brokers encounter, including coverages and exclusions under error and omissions policies
  • Provides a thorough and focused analysis of the legal issues that actually arise in agent/broker litigation
  • Provides sample contracts, including general agency contracts and broker service agreements, with analysis
