Quick Glance: Florida Insurers Mark First Profits in Seven Years in 2023, New Report Reveals
  • A new report by S&P Global stated that Florida's domestic insurers turned a net profit in 2023 for the first time in seven years.

  • Crediting the positive change to investment income, a mild hurricane season, and recent tort reforms, the report highlighted the industry's turnaround.

  • While 2023 marked a year of profitability for some insurers, experts anticipated increased storm activity for the upcoming hurricane season, leading to potential higher costs for insurance companies.

  • Despite improvements in defense and cost containment expenses in Florida due to recent tort reforms, insurers still face significant defense costs, with the state leading in defense spending compared to others in the nation.
