Calling Florida the epicenter of an auto insurance “fraud epidemic,” industry groups want the Legislature to crack down on scam artists who are driving up motorists’ premiums.

“Floridians need to know that our state, unfortunately, continues to have the highest number of questionable, or ‘staged,’ auto accidents of any other state in the country,” said William Stander, assistant vice president for Property Casualty Insurance Association.

Stander’s group was joined by the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the Associated Industries of Florida in calling for reform — but not abolition — of the state’s no-fault (PIP) insurance program.

“Florida’s business community can no longer afford to stand by and expect PIP fraud to go away. We must do something now,” said Teye Reeves, the Chamber’s director of business climate and quality-of-life policy.

Noting that Miami, Tampa, Orlando and Hialeah rank among the U.S. cities with the highest rates of questionable claims, Stander said Florida motorists pay the second-highest auto liability insurance premiums in the nation.

The 2008 average annual liability premium is 6 — 56 percent higher than the national mean of 1, he said.

The Insurance Information Institute estimates that, if left unchecked, the increase in premiums related to insurance fraud could reach 6 million for insured Florida drivers this year.  Read more...

Twelve months ago I was penning my annual Christmas message at the tail end of a difficult year and here I am again, 365 days later, writing something similar. For many however 2009 has been even tougher. Redundancies picked up across the year for IFAs, administrators and para planners, with the job market shrinking as well. This was of course to be expected, we were experiencing a major recession that was bound to have adverse affects on both the number of consumers requiring advice and the number of opportunities for people within the industry. But being prepared didn’t make life any easier.

Should we though allow ourselves to become more optimistic? Dare we? On the positive side markets are cyclical and our economy seems to be through the worst, so IFA jobs and paraplanner jobs should start to appear in the vacancy listings more often. This has started to happen on the technical support side, as alluded to in previous market comments, but sustained evidence of a recovery in the amount of IFA vacancies is somewhat harder to find.

But what are we if without hope? We certainly don’t expect a return to normality any time soon but the general consensus seems to point towards a better time ahead, with recent figures regarding the London financial services market pointing to an upturn. New job opportunities rose 15% in October 2009 compared to September 2009, although this is still 19% down on 2008 figures for new jobs and 23% down on new candidates. While demonstrating we have some way to go, the upside means that there is plenty of growth left to get anywhere close to the figures of 2006 and 2007.  Read more...

Thirdly, the opportunity to store offers and information online is also proving attractive to consumers who shop online.
