The current state of Florida’s home insurance market includes rate hikes, cancellations, dwindling capacity in certain areas – the reason why?

Florida’s property market is in total free fall and there are only two culprits. One is something we can’t do anything about. The other is not only something we can do something about, it’s also something that makes the first one much worse.
The first culprit is reinsurance—it reimburses carriers for hurricane losses and can sometimes be as much as 60% of the total homeowners premium. The second culprit (the one that also makes reinsurance more costly) is frivolous, sometimes downright fraudulent litigation, proffered by a litany of complicit players, including public adjusters, roofers, rebuild contractors and dishonest attorneys.”
With almost 40 years of experience in Florida’s insurance market, it’s fair to say that Scott Johnson’s industry expertise is unquestioned – which makes his most recent blog a must-read for anyone who wants insight into why “Florida’s property insurance rates, already America’s highest, are rising again. https://bit.ly/34C0ipl

Why are insurance rates in Florida increasing?

Do you know when to stop for a school bus? Fines have increased in Florida for motorists who fail to stop for school buses; $200 for illegally passing a school bus while displaying a stop signal, and $400 for illegally passing on the side children enter/exit. This scenario depicts a divided roadway with a median. Notice that the traffic traveling in the opposite direction is not required to stop, but instead proceeds with caution. Vehicles behind a stopped school bus that are traveling in the same direction are required to come to a complete stop – no passing allowed!
