Climate Change

Claims come with the business, whether it be commercial or personal lines. What would a 'suspected increase in claims' have anything to do with you getting into this business? If anything, it is a positive for Agents.

I just read today that hurricane Dorian + California wildfires will cause a 15% increase in reinsurance rates for all, surely to be passed down to the policyholders. Commercial Auto market is in terrible shape and some Carriers are expected to increase rates 20% next year. What this means for me is more commissions. Bring it!

On the flip side, rates for auto insurance in the future may be a fraction of what they are today due to driverless cars and collision avoidance. Some carriers predict 80% less. Granted this is 20 years away, but still, who wants to have a large personal auto book to see it get eaten away by lower premiums. Let alone, auto insurance it is a terrible market to compete in today.

If you should endeavor this is up to you, not the climate.

Good Luck!
Thank you for your insight!! I think I am going to take it on!
