California E&S Insurance

And.... from their Own news bulletin: State Farm General Insurance Company®, State Farm's provider of homeowners insurance in California, **will cease accepting new applications including all business and personal lines property and casualty insurance, effective May 27, 2023**. This decision does not impact personal auto insurance. State Farm General Insurance Company made this decision due to historic increases in construction costs outpacing inflation, rapidly growing catastrophe exposure, and a challenging reinsurance market. We take seriously our responsibility to manage risk. We recognize the Governor's administration, legislators, and the California Department of Insurance (CDI) for their wildfire loss mitigation efforts. We pledge to work constructively with the CDI and policymakers to help build market capacity in California. However, it's necessary to take these actions now to improve the company's financial strength. We will continue to evaluate our approach based on changing market conditions.
