Florida insurance pressures continue after Nicole
CoreLogic, a property-information and analytics firm, released an early estimate Friday that said Nicole’s privately insured losses will be less than $750 million. The modeled estimate represented “gross” losses, which typically means insurance carriers would not face the full amount because they are partially shielded by backup coverage known as reinsurance.
While Nicole won’t cause as large of losses as Ian, Fitch Ratings on Friday released an analysis that pointed to the combination of the storms continuing to build pressure on Florida’s troubled property-insurance system. “Citizens and FHCF are obligated to levy emergency assessments or issue bonds if claims and reimbursements exceed liquid resources, including reserves and premium collections, until obligations are fully met,” Fitch said in the analysis posted on its website. “Even if FHCF and Citizens do not need to tap the market this year, they will have exhausted much of their liquidity, leaving them more likely to have to borrow in the future to rebuild liquidity.
The Legislature is expected to hold another special session in December that will include addressing property insurance. Incoming House Speaker, R-Palm Coast, told City & State Florida, a sister publication of The News Service of Florida, that he expects a “pretty robust special session on property insurance.”
