Manchin wants breaks on insurance soon
Gov. Joe Manchin wants insurance companies to lower their auto rates sooner rather than later.
Manchin called on insurers Wednesday to start reducing their rates before he signs legislation, passed last week, that immunizes them from "third party, bad faith'' lawsuits.
Manchin also singled out five companies -- State Farm, Allstate, Nationwide, Erie and Westfield -- that together promised to knock $50 million off of auto premiums statewide.
Manchin has equated their pledge to "a savings of up to $100 per vehicle.'' He noted Wednesday that the bill would require insurers to file new rates within 90 days of it becoming law. Once signed, the bill would take effect July 1.
"I urge these companies to act sooner rather than later to show West Virginians they are eager to honor their commitment,'' the governor said.
Insurers requested the lawsuit ban, alleging such cases increase their cost of doing business in the state. Manchin has not yet received the final version of the bill.
Representatives of the five insurers either did not respond to requests for comments or were unavailable Wednesday. Requests for comment were also left with the West Virginia Insurance Federation, which spoke for the industry during the 60-day legislative session that ended Saturday.
"We remain confident that decreases in premiums will be coming,'' Manchin spokeswoman Lara Ramsburg said. "All the governor is saying is, to show the people how committed they are, they should step up to the plate.''
Manchin held out the $50 million to convince lawmakers to pass Senate Bill 418. It would ban lawsuits filed against insurers by nonpolicyholders involved in an accident or claim with a policyholder.
These "third parties'' allege the insurers failed to deal with them reasonably, or in good faith.
Under the bill, third parties could instead only file administrative complaints.
The state insurance commissioner could award damages from a fund created by increased fees against all insurers. The commissioner could also fine offending insurers.
To ensure some savings for consumers, lawmakers also amended the bill to cut a surcharge on insurance policies.
As surcharge has supplied about $10 million annually toward teacher pensions, taxpayers would have to make up for the loss funding through the general revenue budget.
