Federal Court Ruling Expands Liability for Insurance Brokers in Coverage Disputes

A recent ruling by a federal judge in Illinois has potential implications for insurance brokers, determining that they could be liable if they fail to provide adequate coverage for customer-owned property. In a $1.2 million insurance dispute, the court sided with the plaintiffs, allowing them to pursue claims against both the insurer and the insurance agents responsible for recommending and purchasing the policy. Attorney Scott C. Frost from Howard & Howard expressed satisfaction with the decision, which affirms his client’s right to hold both parties accountable.
