It is typical to jump to determine fault of the agent or for the plaintiffs based on what we read. When it comes to court cases what the initial reading is in the paper is not always and frequently not the whole story. There will be depositions, discovery, evidence presented and perhaps a trial with or without a jury. If there is a jury trial the agent's chance of winning is greatly diminished, and that is why most agents errors and ommision cases are settled out of court. Many states and I don't know if the one mentioned is one of them, has comparitive negligence where both share in the loss on a percentage basis. What I am trying to say is no one based on an article at the beginning of a case can determine the true merits of the case against the agent.
