Meg Twomey (Of Counsel-Atlanta, GA) secured summary judgment for an insurance broker client in a negligent misrepresentation and fraud claim in the State Court of Jackson County. The plaintiffs, a general contractor and its insurance carrier, sought subrogation for workers’ compensation paid to the employee of a subcontractor. Our client, the subcontractor’s broker, merely sent the certificate of insurance to the general contractor. The plaintiffs attempted to argue that the broker induced the general contractor into hiring the subcontractor, despite the broker’s knowledge that employees hired out of state would not be covered under the workers’ compensation policy. The court held that the plaintiffs failed to show a false representation or negligent misrepresentation by omission, and failed to show justifiable reliance on the COI. The plaintiffs elected not to appeal.
