Legal industry targets insurance employers
Is this the end of captive agents as we know it? I know there is a exclusion in the law for insurance agents who work strictly for one company, they can be statutory employees. But I know of no such exemption for P&C agents.
Assuming these rulings stand or are affirmed by the Supreme Court, what is the future for Allstate, State Farm, Farmers, etc.? Will they go to larger and larger agencies so they really can say it is a business or will they have to bring back agent employees?
