State Farm will stay in Florida, state insurance commissioner predicts

by Michael C. Bender | November 13th, 2009

Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty sat down Thursday with The Palm Beach Post editorial board:

McCarty predicted State Farm will stay in Florida but will have a smaller presence. That could be good news for homeowners, who have seen premiums soar since Hurricane Andrew roiled the state’s insurance market in 1992.

“A leaner, smaller State Farm in Florida is better than no State Farm in Florida,” McCarty said.

  2. I am scared Says:

    The Insurance Commision or the Govenor do not care about any of the consumers in Florida. They allow the insurance companies to run over any and all consumers. We cannot afford our houses, taxes, insurance and nothing is done about either. Time to clean the house and get leaders who care.
