Here is an excerpt from a memo send by the Insurance Commissioner in California.
June 8, 2023 — Agents and brokers have been at the forefront of meeting California consumers’ insurance challenges since climate-intensified catastrophic wildfires hit California in 2017. Many of you are rightly concerned with the reported losses in the insurance market and the availability and affordability of homeowners and commercial insurance in the last few years. The Department of Insurance is committed to working with you to keep you up to date on the issues and help inform consumers on the facts about what we are doing to maintain a competitive property and casualty insurance market.
As you know, on Friday, May 26th, State Farm General Insurance Company announced it will temporarily stop writing new homeowners’ and certain commercial insurance policies in California. Allstate paused new homeowners business in November 2022. Announcements such as these can create uncertainty and anxiety among consumers looking for homeowners and commercial insurance, and affect agents’ and brokers’ business.
The factors largely driving these companies’ decisions include climate change increasing catastrophic exposure, higher reinsurance costs affecting the entire insurance industry, and global inflation. The Department of Insurance is committed to taking action to preserve the long-term resiliency of the California market to these challenges.
