Crediting Loss History for Salvage and Subrogation
For decades, the insurance industry has priced insurance based upon prior loss experience. Insurers will estimate loss payments and loss adjustment expenses, including defense, as part of this historical information. Typically, prospective insurers look at 3 to 5 years of prior loss history. Often insurers will sell salvaged property, or subrogate liability claims and win, and not update loss history for an insured, so they over-pay for insurance for years.
