James Lynch, I.I.I. chief actuary, presented on March 21, 2018 to the Casualty Actuarial Society Ratemaking, Product and Modeling Seminar in Chicago, IL. This PowerPoint report discusses how the rising frequency and severity in auto losses is “pinching” the largest P/C line. The report explains that from 2015 to 2017, the cost of accidents has risen dramatically. While the frequency spike has lessened, severity is now the problem. People are driving more, which results in more collisions and repairs.
