Lisa Miller is a former deputy insurance commissioner and now is a consultant through Lisa Miller and Associates. She said some of these companies listed have hundreds of thousands of policies, meaning this will have an impact on many Floridians.
"It's very encouraging," Miller said. "If you look at the first nine companies that are announcing rate reductions, we have seven and a half million property insurance policies. They probably represent a million and a half of those. That's really good news."
