The home insurance market is crumbling. These owners are paying the price
Quick Glance: Rising Premiums: Challenges in the Home Insurance Market
  • The home insurance market in New Orleans is crumbling, leading to rising premiums. Alfredo Herrera, a local bank employee, faced difficulties after his insurer canceled his coverage. This situation is attributed to climate change and the more frequent and severe weather extremes it causes.

  • Many homeowners in Louisiana and other vulnerable areas have had similar experiences. The increasing insurance costs are due to higher expenses for insurers, including severe storms and higher replacement costs. This results in even homeowners in less risky areas paying higher premiums.

  • In some areas, insurers have stopped issuing policies due to climate change, resulting in limited options for homeowners. Additionally, rising costs for home replacements and challenges in obtaining insurance have led some homeowners to forgo insurance coverage.

  • Rising premiums are burdening homeowners like Diana Troxell in California, who are struggling to cope with significant premium increases. The situation has led to financial difficulties for some homeowners, forcing them to resort to state-supported insurance plans to obtain coverage.
