Business Ethics and Public Stakeholders Insurance Agent and Insurance Company Management Relationships

Business Ethics and Public Stakeholders Insurance Company Relationships Duties owed by the Agent to the Insurance Company: What information do we need to transmit to the underwriter when applying for new coverage? What are “Material Underwriting Facts”? What should an agent do if there is a material change in the operation of an insured mid-term?

Duties owed by the Agent to the Company Do you answer “unasked” questions form the underwriter? Do you reveal information to the insurance company learned “after the fact”? What should an agent tell one insurance company about another insurance company?

Duties owed by the Insurance Company to the Agent Should the insurance company honor mistakes they make? Should the insurance company tell the agent of changes in claims reserves? Should an insurance company marketing person or underwriter tell another agent about an insured they quoted but the original agent did not deliver?

Duties owed by the Company to the insured What information should the insurance company divulge to the agent about an insured.

Agent’s fiduciary responsibility to their Insurance Company Does an Agent have a responsibility to hold their represented insurance companies in high esteem and not reveal to others their methods of doing business? Does an Agent have a responsibility to deliver an insurance company’s quote to a prospective client?

Agent’s fiduciary responsibility Should an agent give one insurance company’s quote to another insurance company also represented by the agency?

Duties owed by the Agent to their Customer What Duty is owed? Is the duty to offer the lowest premium? Is the duty to place the business with the most financially sound insurance company? Does the Agent have a duty to identify ALL possible loss exposures to a customer, or is the duty to only insure what the client requests?

Duties owed by the Agent to the Customer Should the Agent request renewal quotes from all represented insurance companies? What responsibility does the Agent have to update coverage at renewal? What Information can you share about a customer?
