I am looking elsewhere for insurance. The first company I called for auto told me that I had a bargain. He told me that he could beat my price if I reduced my liability coverage from $250,000 to $25,000. He said that the average bodily injury claim in Florida is only about $15,000 so I was over-insured.

I am still looking!
Wow! People do not buy liability insurance for the average claim. If so, they would self insure. They insure for the possibility of having a bad claim against them. Agent is looking at getting a claim filed against him or her for making a "bad" mistake.
