BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Rates rose an average of 3% for homes in both the over $1 million in value category and those below, while personal auto also rose 3%. Personal articles coverages rose 2%.

“We are seeing the premium increases moderate and expect that trend to continue unless insurers are hit with a large catastrophic weather events later in the year,” said MarketScout CEO Richard Kerr in a statement.
