ADAMS, J.,
concurs specially:
T11 I concur with the majority opinion, but I write separately to highlight the importance of footnote 1. The rule applied in this case does not necessarily address claims against an insurance agent for negligence where that agent is alleged to be an agent of the party seeking insurance or is not an employee of one insurance company but is an "independent agent" representing several competing companies. Whether liability for negligence advice might be imposed against the insurance agent in those cireumstances appears to be undecided in Oklahoma. See Hefley v. Neely Insurance Agency, Inc., 1998 OK 12, 954 P.2d 135.
