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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) the agent misrepresents the nature, extent or scope of the coverage being offered or provided (as in Free, Desai, and Nacsa), (b) there is a request or inquiry by the insured for a particular type or extent of coverage (as in Westrick ), or (c) the agent assumes an additional duty by either express agreement or by ‘holding himself out’ as having expertise in a given field of insurance being sought by the insured (as in Kurtz).”
