Law of Commercial Insurance Agents and Brokers provides a detailed analysis of claims brought against commercial insurance agents and brokers, along with the defenses available to them. In cases where no coverage is found under the policy as written, commercial insurance agents and brokers are increasingly being included in litigation. Commercial policyholders assert a wide range of tort and contract claims against agents and brokers, such as failure to follow coverage instructions.

This title examines conflicts of interest to policyholders. It also includes:

Detailed analysis of the Spitzer-type fiduciary-duty claims being asserted against insurance brokers for nondisclosure of commissions
Sample contracts with analysis, including general agency contracts and broker service agreements
Sample discovery to be used in indemnity litigation between agents and insurers
Issues agents and brokers encounter, including coverages and exclusions under error and omissions policies
