Eric Hunley, a YouTuber specializing in human behavior, said that home insurance premiums in California have significantly increased, with some rising from $4,500 to $18,000. He made this statement on January 12.
"Major insurers abandoning California," said Hunley. "Rebuilding costs soaring due to demand. Future coverage uncertain."
According to Fox KTVU, car insurance rates in California rose by 48% in 2024, reaching an average of $2,575 annually. The increase was attributed to higher mandatory liability limits, increasing wildfire risks, and inflationary pressures. California ranked among the top three states with the fastest-growing auto insurance rates, alongside Minnesota and Maryland.

Munich RE reports that the rise of legal system abuse, also known as social inflation, has significantly increased insurance claims costs across multiple sectors. Nuclear verdicts and jury awards exceeding $10 million have surged. This trend has particularly affected medical malpractice, general liability, product liability, and commercial auto insurance, causing insurers to reduce coverage limits and increase premiums.
El Pais notes that not only is insurance being affected by high prices but egg prices in the United States are projected to rise by 41% in 2025, with a forecast range between 15.0% and 74.9%. Some restaurant chains have begun charging extra per egg.
