This appeal is from summary judgment entered in favor of defendants. In granting summary judgment, the trial court held that, as a matter of law, an insurance agent does not owe a client or customer any duty to recommend or advise of the need for any specific insurance coverage. We hold that an agent owes a duty to a client or customer to exercise reasonable care, skill, and diligence in procuring insurance and that questions of the applicable standard of care and whether the agent breached his duty by failing to recommend specific coverage present questions for the trier of fact.
