California's Insurance Market in Shambles
Insurance: California's Insurance Market in Shambles
Understand the state of today’s habitational insurance market and get helpful information on how to navigate California’s crisis. Wildfires have burned nearly 10 million acres and destroyed 39,000 homes in the past five years alone, exacerbating the state's insurance instability.
Major carriers have stopped writing new policies or exited the market entirely, leaving many property owners—especially those in high wildfire risk zones—with few or no options for homeowners insurance. This timely webinar, presented by the experts at Jaffe Insurance Agency, will help you understand what’s happening, what coverage options are available, and how to prepare for increased costs.
During this webinar, you will learn:
- The current status of habitational insurance in California—premiums, availability, and coverage explained.
- Tips on maintaining a good insurance profile as a policyholder.
- Recent historical changes in the insurance market and how they affect you.
- What to expect at renewal—availability, rising costs, and reduced coverage.
- How to read and understand your insurance policy.
- Why rates are rising—issues with reinsurance, high claims volume, and Department of Insurance regulations.
- Proactive steps you can take to improve your insurance outcomes.
- Surplus lines and non-admitted carriers—are they worth the risk?
- The importance of proper risk management and working with knowledgeable brokers.
- Live Q&A throughout to address your specific concerns.
