Renewed my homeowners and vehicle policies, slight increase like every year but suspect we all will be on the elevator bigtime now afterthis cali tragedy, will this bankrupt the insurance industry? Gotta be a breaking point where we no longer can afford insurance

Front end parts on cars have trippled since covid and the union strikes. A lot of insurance companies got hit hard and ran in the red for at least a few years. Auto insurance will be going up again, and keep going up until they figure out how to price auto coverage differently.

The problem I see, is I pay the same on full coverage for my older F-150 as a guy with a fancy BMW of a similar year. My F-150's headlights are 250$, bumper 300$, fenders 300$ etc....but, for just 1 headlamp in that BMW it's 7,500$.

Insurance companies need to base policy prices on the cost of commonly replaced parts of the vehicles instead of just a generic amount based on the driver's risk factor.

honestly i have paid into insurance for 42 years and never really used it, hindsight i would of been better off self-insuring. my only big claim was a hail storm and american family canceled my house ins. i can see people without loans start carrying liability ins only.

Put a high deductible on it, but I sure wouldn't be completely out of the cover your ass situation. Unless you have been holding out, and are quite rich.
