Insurance broker negligence occurs when an insurance broker fails to meet the professional standard of care expected in their role, causing financial loss to a client.

Insurance broker negligence can arise in several different situations.
A broker may fail to arrange appropriate coverage for a client's business, property or professional risks, leaving them exposed when a claim arises.
Clients may suffer losses if a broker provides inaccurate advice about the level of protection a policy offers.
If important exclusions are not explained properly, clients may discover they are not covered when making a claim.
Failure to renew or maintain a policy can leave businesses exposed to significant financial risk.
A broker may recommend cover that is insufficient for the true value of the insured assets or risks, resulting in a shortfall when a claim is made.

Yes. You may be able to bring a professional negligence claim against an insurance broker if their advice or actions fell below acceptable professional standards and caused financial loss.
