Why is it important for Indiana agents to have E&O insurance?
Indiana insurance agents face significant exposure to professional and malpractice claims, including the following:
- Failure to recommend the proper product
- Failure to bind or renew the policy on time
- Failure to recommend adequate policy limits
- Failure to provide a correct specimen policy for review
- Failure to disclose policy exclusions
- Failure to disclose material information
- Failure to provide material information to the insurance company
Being an insurance agent entails a high level of risk. Indiana insurance agents are expected to place the right coverage at the right time, to process the paperwork and payments correctly, and to satisfy the requirements of both the policyholder and the carrier. Policyholders rely on their coverage to protect them when they need it. Carriers expect to be paid on time and to have all relevant facts disclosed to them on the application.
Errors and omissions claims arising from policyholders in Indiana will typically be based on a claim which was denied or only partly covered by the insurance company. Policyholders will often try to recover their financial loss from their insurance agent.
Errors and omissions claims arising from a carrier in Indiana with which the agent places business are usually based on the failure to follow binding authority agreement, failure to follow underwriting standards, failure to provide information to carrier prior to binding, and failure to non-renew or cancel coverage.
Also, Indiana insurance agents are usually required by their carriers, managing general agents, aggregators, wholesalers, and sometimes state insurance department to provide proof of E&O insurance.
