The Insurance Information Institute, a leading source of insurance information and risk management education, posted several messages on its social media account in mid-February 2026. The organization addressed topics including business insurance, legal system impacts on insurance costs, and lithium-ion battery safety.

On February 17, 2026, the Institute marked National Entrepreneurs Week by sharing advice for business owners: “#NationalEntrepreneursWeek is a great time to think not just about growing your business, but protecting it. Here’s how to tailor an #insurance policy to fit your business needs: https://t.co/JygMNmn6UT https://t.co/JRMBelCUvl”

A day later, on February 18, the organization commented on rising costs linked to the legal system: “Legal system abuse drives up costs for consumers and businesses. Triple-I’s new campaigns in Los Angeles and Cook County are raising awareness and urging support for reforms that strengthen market stability and improve #insurance affordability. https://t.co/7GmMXlQ18L https://t.co/lxypyJ7a8A”

Later that same day, the Institute highlighted safety concerns tied to lithium-ion batteries used in e-bikes and e-scooters: ” On #NationalBatteryDay, safety matters as much as innovation. Lithium-ion battery fires tied to e-bikes and e-scooters are rising, with NYC incidents jumping from 21 in 2019 to 187 in 2023. Strong standards, smart underwriting, and awareness are key. https://t.co/g6moMsjT0L https://t.co/c3uRDoslTR”

The Insurance Information Institute provides data-driven insights for consumers, professionals, policymakers and media through resources such as research studies and events (official website). It represents more than 50 insurance company members at regional, national and global levels while delivering information in both English and Spanish without engaging in lobbying or sales efforts. The Institute established ties with The Institutes in November 2020 (official website) and regularly hosts events to advance understanding of risk management.
