The commercial insurance market is hardening. Be prepared.

Evidence shows insurers may not have been properly prepared for our last major hard market, based on the staggering losses companies experienced. Four of the six largest underwriting losses in the history of the U.S. P&C insurance industry occurred during 1999-2002, with cumulative underwriting losses reaching $138 billion.
The commercial insurance market appears to be hardening again. The 2012 Risk and Finance Manager Survey found that nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of survey participants were either seriously or moderately concerned over a hardening P&C insurance market. Another one-third (32 percent) expressed slight concern.
Instead of just being concerned, take action. With the P&C market likely to continue hardening in 2012 and into 2013, it is imperative for insurance companies to stay ahead of the market and proactively manage the rates of their books of business. Perr&Knight is available and ready to assist with those reviews, as well as the preparation and submission of rate filings.

- Commercial Auto
- Commercial Property (Fire, Allied Lines, and Inland Marine)
