    Lloyds of London

    how tf are they insuring hurricane prone floridians??? there is obviously massive corruption in the state but like this has to be some extra-predatory shit for some massive international insurance company to also be here

    edit: I guess I had no idea what lloyd’s is. it’s a market of members not a company.

      Lloyd’s schtick is that they will insure literally anything, but typically at the worst possible cost. If you have a mortgage in FL you’re required to have windstorm mitigation insurance, so if you’re between vendors and don’t want to go with Citizens (the state-backed insurer) they are usually your last resort — and in recent times, have been cheaper than Citizens (tho this is more to do with how terribly managed Citizens is than anything else).
