Holding

Insurance producers, including brokers and agents, have a duty to use ordinary care when procuring insurance for insureds. However, this duty is extracontractual, and the Moorman doctrine does not apply to bar an action in negligence against an insurance broker or agent for breach of this statutory duty.
