Agent and Broker Malpractice
Agents and brokers have professional duties to their clients, the most basic of which are telling their clients the truth and doing their jobs competently. If they fail to do so, they have breached their duty and may be liable if their negligence and malpractice causes their clients to suffer a loss. Our firm handles these malpractice claims to help our clients receive compensation for the losses broker and agent malpractice can cause.
Liability Defense
Liability insurance is a valuable layer of protection against potential mistakes and accidents related to your home, car, or business. However, not every insurance company will honor its obligations according to your liability policy. Our attorneys represent clients in liability defense claims such as:
- Failure to Defend: Most liability policies give the insurer the duty to defend the insured against claims that may possibly fall under its coverage. If your insurer refuses to defend you, it may be acting in bad faith.
- Refusal to Settle: Similarly, insurers have the fiduciary duty to try to settle claims for insureds if it appears the claim may exceed the policy limits. Insurers who refuse to settle are not fulfilling their contractual obligations.
- Excess Verdicts: Insurers that turn down reasonable settlement offers and then lose at trial are responsible for the full amount of the verdict, even if this is higher than the policy limits. we have a long track record of compelling insurance companies to pay these excess verdicts.
personal injury
If you’re injured by another driver, a defective product, or dangerous conditions at a business, you are likely eligible for damages for the losses you’ve suffered. However, getting this compensation can be difficult. We fight insurance companies to help our clients receive the damages they’re owed.
