All You Ever Wanted to Know About Insurance

Summer heat and insurance relief in the forecast!

Summer 2025 is here, and it is getting hot! American Insurance is well into our 103rd year and there are indications that the insurance industry is starting to turn the corner from the hard insurance market of the last couple of years.

The good news is…

As of May 2025, the Insurance Companies we represent have been operating more profitably. We are seeing a cooling off on rate increases, a broader underwriting appetite, and a willingness to help us be “Open for Business!”


Hard market is cooling off… 

In 2023, we sounded the alarm that a hard insurance marketplace was upon us which meant increasing premiums, stricter underwriting, reduction in types of acceptable risk classes and limited

insurance markets. This trend has begun to cool off now, as wildfire scoring, higher protection classes and property age underwriting are now standard in practice for Homes and Property. 

American Insurance is here for you to provide - Choice, Value and Advocacy in reviewing your insurance pricing and coverage options. As an Independent Insurance Agency, we represent dozens of top insurance companies like, Safeco, Liberty Mutual, Progressive, Travelers, Nationwide and many more.

Policy Service requests are our highest priority! 

At any point, if you need a policy review, please let us know immediately! Call us, text us at 208-518-0823 or email us at American [at] Am-Ins [dot] com.  

In a world of change, you can count on us to Protect Your American Dream in 2025.
