CAMDEN, Del. — Insurance is often seen as a complex and sensitive topic, leaving many individuals unsure of where to turn for help or answers. To make insurance more understandable and accessible, the Delaware Farm Bureau (DEFB) has partnered with Delaware Insurance Commissioner Trinidad Navarro to host an informative session during Delaware Ag Week, which takes place at the Delaware State Fairgrounds from Monday, January 13 through Thursday, January 16, 2025.

On January 13 at 1:00 p.m., the focus will be on helping attendees understand the intricacies of insurance and how to utilize the resources available through the Delaware Department of Insurance to protect themselves. This session aims to explain the often-complicated language of insurance, offering practical tools for navigating policies and claims processes. This session will take place in the Delaware Building.

The mission of the Delaware Department of Insurance is to “protect Delawareans through regulation and education while overseeing the insurance industry to best serve the public.” In fulfilling this mission, the Department works to protect consumers, regulate companies, and ensure fairness in all insurance transactions. This includes ensuring that insurance companies are financially stable enough to pay claims, reviewing rates submitted by insurers, prosecuting insurance fraud, licensing agents and brokers, and providing guidance to businesses and individuals on how to reduce insurance premiums.

The Delaware Farm Bureau’s mission is to “promote and protect Delaware agriculture through education and advocacy to ensure a quality of life for farmers and their families and their consumers.” One of the ways DEFB serves its members is by equipping them with valuable knowledge to improve their businesses and lives. Through this partnership with Commissioner Navarro, DEFB hopes to empower attendees with the tools and insights needed to navigate the complexities of insurance.

A primary goal of the Delaware Department of Insurance is to assist residents in better understanding their insurance policies. Commissioner Navarro will use the session to educate attendees about the many services the Department offers, such as obtaining information from insurance providers, interpreting policy terms, and assessing the fairness of Workers’ Compensation rate filings and audits.

Navarro’s aim is to give attendees the tools and confidence they need to confidently navigate the insurance landscape. He will explain how the Department of Insurance can assist residents in resolving issues with their insurance providers, filing complaints, and ensuring they are being charged fairly.
