Agent Error

Negligence by an Insurance Agent

An insurance agent has a fiduciary relationship to the insured. He or she is supposed to act in the insured’s best interest. However, agents are primarily involved in the selling of insurance policies. Their goal is to sell as many policies and generate as much commission as possible. In order to do this, they may need to cut corners, process applications too quickly, or fail to disclose the terms of the policy fully. In short, they are often guilty of errors and omissions.

Agent errors and omissions may be the reason for an insurance claim denial

Agent errors often come to light when an insured makes a claim that is denied by the carrier. If you suspect that agent error was the reason for a denied insurance claim, contact our lawyers at Surrano Law Offices in Phoenix. We have more than 25 years of collective experience handling denied insurance claims. Let us put that knowledge to work to help you.

Agents, brokers, and underwriters may be guilty of professional negligence

Our attorneys help policyholders whose agent was guilty of errors and omissions. Our clients have been victims of an agent’s failure to investigate a client’s insurance needs adequately. Similarly, an agent may neglect to perform a periodic review to find out whether the policyholder’s situation and needs have changed. Some agents fail to provide their clients with adequate insurance in order to keep premiums down. All of these occurrences may constitute insurance bad faith.
