Bentley Reassures
Georgians On Fire
Insurance Rates
I COLUMBUS, GA.—Georgia fire
j insurance policyholders can be re
assured that they will not suffer
sharply increased insurance rates
because of “staggering riot losses”
j across the nation, Comptroller Gen
! eral James L. Bentley said here
I Thursday.
“Georgia policyholders will not
be in the position of subsidizing
riots in other states through high
er insurance premiums,” Bentley
declared.
Bentley, state insurance commis
sioner since 1963, said that his
office has received inquiries ask
ing if the Detroit riot and other
disturbances will mean higher in
surance rates in Georgia.
In a speech to the Columbus
Jaycees, Bentley noted that insur
ance rates are based generally up
on losses within each state.
“Insurance rates in Georgia are
adjusted on the basis of experi
ence within the state. Further,
there are adjustments within any
given state depending on specific
experience in a particular section
or often particular municipality,”
Bentle ysaid.
Although Georgians will not
face higher insurance rates because
of riot losses, Bentley said, riot
damage itself has usually been co
vered by insurance and paid by
the affected insurance companies.
