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”.

North Carolina Rate Bureau proposes 11.3% loss cost decrease

The North Carolina Rate Bureau said Friday that it has proposed an 11.3% decrease in loss costs.

The filed decrease is due to insurers having had fewer workers compensation claims and paying less for these claims, the bureau said in a letter to member companies.

This filing will affect policies that are effective on and after April 1, 2018, and are applicable to new and renewal policies, the bureau said.

The filing proposes an average decrease of 7.5% in the advisory loss costs for exposures that are under the U.S. Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act, the bureau said.

The bureau also included a proposed decrease to the terrorism loss cost provision to $0.005 from $0.01.
