Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An insurance agent ordinarily assumes only those duties normally found in an agency relationship, and absent an agreement to the contrary, an agent has no duty beyond that specifically undertaken to perform for the client. Thus, an agent ordinarily has no duty to advise the insured on specific insurance matters, or to procure a policy affording complete liability protection.... Moreover, after complying with the obligation to obtain insurance, the insurance agent or broker does not have a continuing duty to advise, guide, or direct the insured’s coverage, or, absent special circum stances in the relationship with the insured, an affirmative duty to update an insurance policy at the time it is renewed or to inquire whether any changes have occurred to the insured’s property which would affect coverage.”
