We need to bridge the flood insurance ‘coverage gap’
This op-ed by Sean Kevelighan, the CEO of the Insurance Information Institute, explains what happens when there is a disparity between insured losses—damages that are covered under an insurance policy—and uninsured losses, which are paid out-of-pocket by individuals affected by a catastrophe, such as flooding. With the approach of hurricane season, this is an ideal teachable moment.

Animal-related insurance losses up by 6 percent 2014-2017
The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) released a study today on the number of animal-related insurance losses for the years 2014-2017. A total of 1,740,425 animal-related insurance claims were processed with 1,739,687 of them (99.9 percent) involving vehicles. Since many drivers do not carry insurance for this type of event, the real number of incidents is likely much higher.
