This increase may come as a shock to property owners across the state; however, it shouldn\’t. The insurance experts, such as the team at Southeast Public Adjusters, have warned about this for a while now. While some did not see an increase this drastic happening, others were spot on.

Not only does this increase hurt property owners and their rates. But, it is a direct reflection of the insurance industry in Florida, keep reading to learn more!

The Explanation for Increased Insurance Rate Applications

With this fate looming above property owners for some time now, you might wonder why the need for the increase. The main reason is the number of insurance claims coming in and the amount of money they demand. The insurance companies goal is to help property owners with property insurance. Whether it\’s water, mold, fire, or storm damage, they usually help with it all. And this system works by the property owner paying insurance that should cover these insurance claims, should they ever have one.

However, this system doesn\’t always work as expected. The ideal situation is damages and insurance claims staying within the amount property owners pay in insurance. But, what\’s actually happening is insurers are losing money when helping with insurance claims in Florida. The number of insurance claims coming in exceeds the amount they can handle, and the cost is rising because of it.
