In Williams v. Hilb, Rogal & Hobbs Insurance Services of California, Inc., __ Cal. App. 4th __, 2009 WL 2872403 (September 9, 2009), the court held that an insurance agent who portrays herself as having expertise in the particular insurance sought by an insured may owe the insured a heightened duty of care. Further, the failure of an insured to read the policy does not, as a matter of law, render the insured’s reliance on the agent’s advice unjustifiable.
