ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 31, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United Insurance Holdings Corp. (OTCBB:UIHC)(OTCBB:UIHCW)(OTCBB:UIHCU) ("United" or the "Company"), an underwriter of primarily homeowners insurance in the State of Florida, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and year-ended December 31, 2008 (see attached tables).
United's CEO, Don Cronin stated, "We are pleased to report strong results for the year ended December 31, 2008, a transformational year for our company.
