Producer Errors & Omissions

We are the go-to resource for producer liability and defense.

HeplerBroom LLC maintains a strong practice defending insurance producers and intermediaries across Illinois. We defend producers against a broad range of claims, regularly obtaining dismissals through motion practice, trial, summary judgment, and appellate decisions, several of which created and strengthened the producers’ legal defenses to future errors and omissions claims. Our appellate activity includes an amicus brief in the Illinois Supreme Court supporting a producer in a successful argument for an early accrual date for negligent-procurement claims.
