Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Insurance
Plaintiffs sued insurer and insurance agent to recover from agent for his negligence in procuring insurance coverage from insurer on Plaintiffs' behalf, for failure to add a named insured who was later severely injured when struck by a vehicle while bicycling. Court erred in granting Defendant insurers' motion to dismiss, as Section 2-2201 of the Insurance Placement Liability Act eliminated the common-law distinction between insurance agents and brokers for purposes of duty of care. (APPLETON and POPE, concurring.)
