Content:
After being severely injured in an accident caused by an intoxicated driver, a young woman made a claim against her insurance agent for his failure to obtain complete automobile insurance coverage on her behalf. Insurance agents owe their clients a professional duty to secure the coverage requested and to advise them on appropriate coverage for their needs.
After exhausting the at-fault driver's coverage limits, the client was left significantly under-compensated for the full extent of her injuries — compensation she should have been able to access through uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage that the agent negligently failed to obtain.
Lowe Trial Lawyers pursued the insurance agent directly and successfully recovered an additional $500,000 on the client's behalf, holding the agent accountable for his professional negligence in failing to secure the coverage his client needed and deserved.
