Florida Wimps Out on Enforcing Insurance Laws
There was a lot of public support when the state banned Allstate from selling new car insurance policies in Florida this past Wednesday. Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty issued the emergency order in reaction to what he called Allstate’s “blatant disregard” for subpoenas relating to a state investigation focused on how Allstate sets its homeowners’ insurance rates.
The ban was listed today.
The First District Court of Appeal agreed with Allstate lawyers that McCarty did not have authority to issue an order that Allstate says would stop specific immediate dangers to the public health, safety or welfare.
Typical double talk, if you ask me. Looks like Allstate is free to cherry pick in Florida again. I wonder what kind of kickback that judge received.
