At The Ruese Insurance Group, we understand navigating the insurance landscape can be tricky, especially during a hard market. Here’s what you need to know:

What is a Hard Market?

Simply put, a hard market is a period when insurance premiums rise and coverage options become more limited. This contrasts with a soft market, where insurance is readily available and competitively priced.

What Causes a Hard Market?

Several factors can contribute to a hard market, including:

Increased Claims Costs: More frequent or severe claims events, like natural disasters and legal settlements, can strain insurance companies’ resources.
Regulatory Changes: Government regulations impacting the insurance industry can influence risk assessment and pricing decisions.
Economic Conditions: Inflation and supply chain disruptions can affect both insurance companies and consumers.
What Does This Mean for You?

During a hard market, you might experience:

Higher Premiums: Insurance companies may need to increase premiums to maintain profitability.
Limited Coverage Options: Availability of certain coverages or limits might be restricted.
Stricter Underwriting: The process of qualifying for insurance may become more rigorous.
