““It seems to be a well-settled rule that if an agent or broker with a view of being compensated agrees to procure insurance for another and through fault or neglect fails to do so, he will be liable for any damage that results thereby.” Simpson v. M-P Enterprises, Inc., 252 So.2d 202, 207 (Miss.1971). The standard of care of an insurance agent is “to use that degree of diligence and care with reference thereto which a reasonably prudent [person] would exercise in the transaction of his own business.” Security Insurance Agency, Inc. v. Cox, 299 So.2d 192, 194 (Miss.1974). 7 The Court holds the jury was properly instructed as to the applicable standard of care for the defendant Batte.”
