I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. I think the better case is to start with the agent and find out whether the agent communicated with the insurance company the terms of your deal and what you wanted. If you paid the insurance company a premium for the extra car and they accepted the money, then there is an argument to be made that they knew the deal and are engaging in bad faith for which you may recover money. I suggest you bring all the documents to a lawyer and get all the documents you can from the agent without letting him know that he is a target. make it look like you are only after the insurance company.
