Re: Broker Insurance Fraud

Yes! The Insurance Company is liable for the fraudulent acts of its agents, under the common law and under the statutory schemes of most states. There is, however, a statute of limitations, which may be as short as a year. Act quickly. If you do not get the matter resolved very quickly. Hire local counsel, put everyone on notice, and if you get no results...sue them!
