The role of an insurance broker is to help you find the best insurance product for your needs, ensuring you are protected against risk for your business or personal assets.

When you engage an insurance broker, they have a duty of care to provide their service to a reasonable standard.

If your insurance broker has breached that duty of care and acted negligently in their service to you and this has caused you a loss, then you may be eligible to pursue a compensation claim against them.

Generally speaking, the role of an insurance broker is to:

Find you appropriate insurance products;
Understand your unique insurance needs, specific risks, and budget;
Review and be familiar with terms and conditions of relevant policies;
Alert you to any relevant exceptions or exclusions and highlight other important information;
Be your personal contact for advice and claims management;
Be a trusted advisor, acting in your best interests.

Suing an Insurance Broker for Damages due to Professional Negligence

To make a successful insurance broker professional negligence claim, you must establish that:

Your insurance broker owed you a duty of care;
There was a breach in the duty of care from your insurance broker, constituting professional negligence; and
That breach caused you a loss.

Examples of insurance broker professional negligence may include:

Recommending an unsuitable insurance policy for your needs, resulting in loss;
Failing to identify exclusions in a policy, which caused you a financial loss;
Failing to notify you that your insurance policy has expired, resulting in loss.

These are only a few possible scenarios, of course there are many others. Every case of insurance broker professional negligence is unique and complex, reflecting the complexities and differences of individual insurance policies.

To give your case the best chance of success, it is essential to seek the advice of a highly experienced and skilled professional negligence solicitor.

My experience with my lawyer, of something I’ve never done before, showed and explained everything: the process of how things work, and what the procedure is. When it came to its final stage, everyone that was a part of my case was not only friendly but showed empathy, devotion, to helping me get to appointment, caring about me. Very grateful and appreciative for all the work that Lionheart Lawyers provided, and the dedicated role that each played a part of. I would have no hesitation recommending them to those who are in need of help, in medical issues.
