In a recent Tampa Bay Business Journal article, Gunster attorney and Arrow Group senior advisor, Sha'Ron James, explains the factors that have made Florida's property insurance market one of the most volatile in the country. James discusses how hurricanes, litigation abuse, and rising reinsurance costs have driven up premiums and forced some insurers to exit the state, while legislative reforms and new entrants have helped stabilize the market.
However, James cautions that "just like a roller coaster, Florida’s insurance market remains highly sensitive to external forces — with new twists, turns, and dips that could arrive at any moment."
With extensive experience in both the public and private sectors, insurance law and regulatory matters, Sha'Ron James practices at the intersection of government affairs and advocacy, insurance law and regulation, and policy development and execution. She represents domestic and international insurance companies and insurance-related entities throughout Florida, before the Florida Legislature, Office of Insurance Regulation, and other State Agencies.
