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”.

July commercial property/casualty rates up 1.5%: MarketScout

Commercial property/casualty insurance rates rose an average of only 1.5% in July over those of a year earlier, Dallas-based electronic insurance exchange MarketScout reported Tuesday.

Among lines of coverage tracked by MarketScout, commercial automobile and businessowners policies reported the largest increases at 3%. Commercial property, general liability, umbrella/excess and professional liability coverages averaged increases of 2%, while all other lines increased by only 1%.

Transportation and contracting accounts reported the largest increases at 3%, while public entity accounts recorded the smallest at 1%.

As typically has been the case in the past, the smaller the account, the larger the increase, with the smallest accounts reporting 3% increases and the largest reporting no increase at all on average.
