Got my renewal yesterday. Currently have 1% all else /2% hurricane deductibles and premium 4,600 a year.

Renewal, they gave me two options:

1) Keep same deductibles, premium $7,700 a year

2) Go to 5% and 5% deductibles, premium 5,800 a year.

Mind you, my March 2022 renewal was $1,500 / 2% deductible and the premium was $2,430. Then that company failed in July and I had to switch to my current policy.

Get mad at your neighbors and fellow Louisianians for constantly replacing roofs.

Try Cajun underwriters insurance. They are writing policies with decent rates.

Bro, you have no idea how bad it is until you move out.

My car insurance and home insurance are a small fraction of what they were in Louisiana. We're still on the gulf coast, albeit higher ground.

I loved my time in NOLA but our savings by moving out were incredible. Also nobody has been shot nor carjacked in my neighborhood since I moved out. Less than 10 murders in my entire large county. That's a bad weekend in NOLA.

When the ambulance chasers were making commercials for Ida claims you knew this was coming.

The commissioner should have gotten with the Governor/ legislature when the rulings/ awards were coming down from Western District in the Laura law suits.

It’s almost as if Louisiana incurred $40.6 BILLION in insured hurricane losses alone from 2020 thru 2021.

Clearly, they weren’t charging you enough since they failed. Premiums have to be sufficient to pay all the claims that need paying, overhead costs, etc. When payouts are a near certainty between regular hurricanes, claims for roofs every time a hailstone falls within 10 miles, etc. and the cost of materials and labor going up, the premiums have to be high to keep the insurance companies solvent.

That isn't it at all.. most of the insane rates we're seeing is solely based on Re-insurance these companies still writing are having to buy. one of my companies I represent when they re-upped their reinsurance was stuck with about 90 cents on the dollar of premium taken in just in re-insurance... Hard to run a company on 10% of what you're taking in..

The State bribes to lure companies back in are clearly not going to work.

Our schools here in St Bernard are good and crime is low. Those are not conerns of mine. Cost of living such as insurance are skyrocketing. My youngest has 6 more years until she graduates high school and we are trying to hold out. The year after she graduates, my wife will be come eligible for pension from teaching.

I don't know if we can make it 6-7 years.

Higher costs = Higher premiums.

I'm looking to see if the bribe our state is giving will help.

I'm not sure how many people can survive insurance going up this quickly. I don't live on the water or on the coast.

I believe out of the dozen or so insurance companies that applied for state funding only TWO are actually new companies that don't current underwrite in LA and anybody approved for funding doesn't have to write their first policy for THREE years....so no time soon baw
