Interestingly this is already happening in Florida, where repeated hurricane damage and high levels of fraud has led to the exodus of pretty much all national insurance companies. https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/floridas-insurance-crisis-only-expected-to-get-worse-analysts/3027455/?amp=1 https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/floridas-insurance-crisi...
- pxmpxm 3y agoSo that one was almost entirely fraud driven - there literally were contractors going around door to door after the hurricane, offering free roofs regardless of damage. My guess is that it's a structural dynamic - something like a hurricane is bound to trip the cat reinsurance thresholds for all the insurance companies, which means they have very little incentive to actually verify claims/monitor fraud, since it's the reinsurers eating that cost.
