Pinnacle was great to work with and cooperated well with my folks.
Pinnacle has compiled relevant databases for use as the basis for legislative costing analyses and other studies.
Pinnacle provides costing and impact analysis of proposed legislative changes and also provides written and oral testimony in support of our analyses.
Pinnacle’s team of experienced experts can provide expertise to help craft and quantify the impact of solutions for issues affecting the insurance market in today’s rapidly changing environment.
Pinnacle has experience not only determining the cost of potential legislative changes, but also assessing their impact on affected segments and stakeholders.
Pinnacle excels in providing expected changes in insurance costs due to proposed legislation on behalf of state insurance regulators, state legislative committees, insurance trade organizations, and state associations of physicians, hospitals and trial lawyers.
With insurance laws and regulations constantly evolving, being alert to changes and their implications is only part of your challenge. Since even a seemingly small modification can have a material impact, you need actuarial experts who can detect a potential law’s implications on insurance markets quickly and accurately.
Our experienced property/casualty actuaries can apply their expertise to help you understand the potential legislative impact in your state. Our costing studies of proposed insurance legislation help policy makers in many states sift through legislative implications.

Florida Automobile No-Fault Impact Analyses More »
In 2006 and 2007, Pinnacle was retained by Floridians for Lower Insurance Costs (FLIC) to conduct independent actuarial studies to determine the cost implications on the Florida Health Care system from various changes to the Florida No Fault Law.
First in 2006 we conducted an independent actuarial study to determine the cost implications of repealing Florida’s current no-fault law. Pinnacle also priced first party medical payments benefits of $2,500, $5,000 and $10,000 as replacements for current personal injury protection (PIP) benefits.
Then in 2007, Pinnacle determined the impact that would result from the sunset of Florida’s current no fault law. Pinnacle also determined what current PIP insurance costs will be absorbed by other insurance programs compared to costs that will go unreimbursed since the current PIP coverage will be eliminated at the time that no fault is sunset. Pinnacle testified before the Florida House Committee Working Group on Insurance in support of the analysis. The Florida No Fault Law was sunset only to be reenacted immediately thereafter.

Workers' Compensation More »
Pinnacle was retained by a major national political organization to investigate the impact of several workers compensation reforms including: implementation of mandatory managed care, privatization of state workers compensation insurance funds and the permitting of private insurers to enter previously monopolistic workers compensation states. Our analysis looked at state-level differences in rate levels, insurer experience, coverage competition, the mix of medical and indemnity claims and numerous other metrics. The study was extremely well received and ultimately presented to more than half of the nation’s governors.
At Pinnacle, we partner with you to explore whatever path it takes to find the answers you need.
