Insured Loss Estimates Top $600M From Washington Fires, Testing New Commissioner (opens the original)
Read excerpt

However, she’s relatively new considering her predecessor, Washington Commissioner of Insurance Mike Kreidler, was the nation’s longest serving commissioner, having held the office since 2001. The magnitude of what she and the Office of The Insurance Commissioner are dealing with is best stated in numbers: t

Bodily injury auto claims have surpassed auto physical damage payouts for the first time, a trend that is being pushed by a rise in the average payout and an increase in BI claim frequency. Artificial intelligence may also have a hand in the trends, the authors of a report out on Thursday say.
