Bill Yawn Insurance Agency

Rates have just about doubled here in Florida over the last 5 years. The article is wrong about climate change being a cause as comprehensive coverage cost very little for most cars. The major increase has been for uninsured motorist and bodily injury liability coverage. Lawyers and litigation are a major factor there.

Car insurance premiums could skyrocket 50% in some states this year

In the Western Atlantic an area of low pressure located a few hundred miles southeast of Bermuda is producing a small area of disorganized thunderstorm activity.

Dry air and strong upper-level winds in the area are expected to limit development. NHC gives this system only a 10% chance to become a tropical system over the next seven days - good news there.

In the Central Atlantic, an area of low pressure is trying to get its act together but currently doing so slowly. This trend should continue over the next several days.

However, environmental conditions appear generally favorable for slow development of the system this weekend. NHC gives this system a 20% chance to become a tropical system over the next seven days.

Oh, hello you...

Let’s hope that the special legislative session will offer comprehensive reform that addresses Florida’s out-of-control litigation environment. https://bit.ly/3wxDJPf

With property insurance premiums in Florida expected to jump 30-40% on average in 2022, hardworking Floridians like Victoria Solomon are left with limited options and anxiety over the future. https://bit.ly/3svIMOX

Almost a whole decade - that's how long we've been fighting this roof crisis in Florida, with great agents like Joshua Butts assisting home insurance customers on the frontlines.

Like Joshua, we're hopeful that the legislature will answer the call for "bold, unapologetic change" when they meet on May 23 for the special legislative session on property reform.

Floridians know that Florida’s property insurance market is broken – the reason? Egregious and excessive litigation. https://bit.ly/3FFXxEn

Hardworking Floridians like Dave Leftkowitz are paying the price for the lack of property insurance legislative reform – skyrocketing premiums and being cancelled despite never having filed a claim. https://bit.ly/39POFQP

Ever rising litigation related to roof claims is the primary driver behind Florida’s property insurance crisis. https://bit.ly/392N9KQ

“Soaring premiums haven’t kept pace with insurance company losses, and homeowners simply can’t afford much more. No wonder insurance companies are saying they’ve had enough of doing business in the Sunshine State.” https://bit.ly/3rJmcCn

Legislators allowed the 2022 Session to end with no reform for Florida’s property insurance industry. Here’s what one agent, on the frontlines of this crisis and working to find affordable coverage for customers every day, has to say about the situation:

A couple weeks ago, the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association said that a $190 million assessment is needed to pay claims from the recently insolvent St. Johns Insurance Company.

F**A just announced that another assessment of up to $70 million is needed to cover the insolvency of Avatar Insurance. https://bit.ly/3DxooRO

“I joined the service when I was 17 and did tours in Desert Shield, Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. I served for 20 years … now I ride to support all others who have served our country.”

Thank you for your service, Dana! 🇺🇸

His advice for staying young? “Keep riding. Keep rolling. Keep moving.”

This isn’t how this is supposed to work, folks!

Imagine an auto repair shop changing your bald tires or worn-down brakes and trying to bill your insurance company for it. Roofs wear down over the years. As homeowners, it’s our responsibility to pay for it.

Let’s hope we get reform this Legislative Session that will curb abuse, stabilize the market and help decrease rates!

This WFTV Channel 9 article looks into why home insurance policy cancellations and non-renewals are occurring so frequently now. Spoiler alert: it’s due to fraudulent roof claims and frivolous lawsuits against insurance companies.

The industry is on the brink of collapse, with some insurance companies to recently announce that they’re no longer writing new business in the state of Florida. https://bit.ly/36HdNYo

In the few days since this article was written, two more insurance companies have stopped writing in Florida, and a couple have had their financial stability rating downgraded.

Fewer options, skyrocketing rates, potential insolvencies – Florida’s property insurance market is in crisis, indeed! https://bit.ly/3hzD7BX

There’s NO such thing as a “free” roof!
