Gallagher Benefit Services breached its contract with the Osceola County School District “for the basest of reasons – greed,” the school district asserts in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in late 2021. The brokerage also stood accused of violating the school board’s trust.
Under Gallagher’s consulting agreement to research and recommend a health insurer, annual commissions were capped at $195,650. However, more than $4 million in “secret” fees were allegedly collected from the carriers that it recommended.
