Expect rates to be up in areas where insurance companies fear the risk of claims has increased or will be increasing. Others will also see increases. Insurance is a risk taking business. When risk goes up, they will not play the game or they will increase the costs to the insured.

In California insurance has been a touchy issue for years now.  Due to wildfires many carriers stopped writing policies in several parts of California.  Back in 2019 they were excluding entire zip codes (although I think that was challenged in court and eventually stopped).

Insurance is pretty high on the Monterey Peninsula because of the fires.  My high end clients are considering self insuring.

Fascinating question...Insurance has a love-hate feel to it. The fear of something bad happening & encurring loss vs paying fees to offset the fear?

California fires and drought, raised rates. Hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes across many states caused rates to increase. How can a consumer tell if the increase is fair?

Denver has seen HUGE insurance increases due to forest fires and hail damage.     This year has been quieter but did not see a decrease.

They have always been on a mission to raise rates and avoid paying what they owe, has this changed?

As we continue development and expose more structures to damage, premiums will soar and some companies will deny coverage. Insurance is a business for profit.

All of us should expect increases in the cost of insurance.

I haven't really noticed any hikes that aren't in line with other higher prices.  I mean they have to have the money to pay the employees "a living wage" according to them.  They want us all to have insurance, but they sure hate to pay claims.
