2013 in Review 2013 in review INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY HIGHWAY LOSS DATA INSTITUTE The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is an independent, nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to reducing the losses — deaths, injuries and property damage — from crashes on the nation’s roads. The Highway Loss Data Institute shares and supports this mission through scientific studies of insurance data representing the human and economic losses resulting from the ownership and operation of different types of vehi- cles and by publishing insurance loss results by vehicle make and model. Both organizations are wholly supported by the following auto insurers and funding associations: MEMBER GROUPS Liberty Mutual Insurance Company Acceptance Insurance Louisiana Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company ACE Private Risk Services Maryland Automobile Insurance Fund Affirmative Insurance Mercury Insurance Group Alfa Alliance Insurance Corporation MetLife Auto & Home Alfa Insurance Michigan Millers Mutual Insurance Company Allstate Insurance Group MiddleOak American Family Mutual Insurance Mississippi Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Company American National Family of Companies MMG Insurance Ameriprise Auto & Home Mutual of Enumclaw Insurance Company Amica Mutual Insurance Company Nationwide Auto Club Enterprises New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Group Auto Club Group Nodak Mutual Insurance Company Auto-Owners Insurance Norfolk & Dedham Group Aviva Insurance North Carolina Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company Bankers Insurance Group Northern Neck Insurance Company Bituminous Insurance Companies Ohio Mutual Insurance Group California Casualty Group Old American County Mutual Fire Insurance Capital Insurance Group Old American Indemnity Company Chubb & Son Oregon Mutual Insurance Colorado Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company Pekin Insurance Commonwealth Mutual Insurance Company of America PEMCO Insurance Concord Group Insurance Companies Plymouth Rock Assurance Cotton States Insurance Progressive Corporation COUNTRY Financial QBE Group CSAA Insurance Group The Responsive Auto Insurance Company CSE Insurance Group Rockingham Group Dallas National Insurance Company Safe Auto Insurance Company Direct General Corporation Safeco Insurance Companies Erie Insurance Group Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance Company Esurance SECURA Insurance Farm Bureau Financial Services Sentry Insurance Farm Bureau Insurance of Michigan Shelter Insurance Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company of Idaho Sompo Japan Insurance Company of America Farmers Insurance Group of Companies South Carolina Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company Farmers Mutual Hail Insurance Company of Iowa Southern Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Company Farmers Mutual of Nebraska State Auto Insurance Companies Florida Farm Bureau Insurance Companies State Farm Insurance Companies Frankenmuth Insurance Tennessee Farmers Mutual Insurance Company Gainsco Insurance Texas Farm Bureau Insurance Companies GEICO Corporation Tower Group Companies Georgia Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company The Travelers Companies Goodville Mutual Casualty Company United Educators Grange Insurance USAA Hallmark Insurance Company Utica National Insurance Group Hanover Insurance Group Virginia Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance The Hartford West Bend Mutual Insurance Company Haulers Insurance Company, Inc.

To encourage de- signs that are even more crashworthy, IIHS entered the second year of evaluating vehicles in the challenging small overlap front crash test. Automakers are quickly making design improvements in response. Evaluating technologies that prevent crashes from happening in the first place is a growth area. Based on groundbreaking HLDI research showing the benefits of crash avoidance systems, IIHS rolled out a front crash prevention ratings program in 2013 and is expanding the number of vehicles evaluated during 2014. With these new tests, we have toughened requirements to win our TOP SAFETY PICK+ and TOP SAFETY PICK awards and plan to raise the bar again. To this end, IIHS is evaluating the effectiveness of adaptive headlights, and HLDI is analyzing claims data on emerging technologies as they gain traction in the fleet. With the support of our member companies, we are expanding our Vehicle Research Center facilities to accommodate a broader crash avoidance test program, with a covered test track, robotics equip- ment and office facilities. Early in 2013, IIHS focused on the problem of car-into-semitrailer crashes, an issue that’s received limited attention. Dramatic crash tests showed that car occupants are at risk when they crash into the backs of trucks with weak underride guards. Our research garners extensive media attention, and our experts are in high demand at conferences worldwide. Millions of people con- sult iihs.org for vehicle ratings and safety information. All of this is a credit to insurers’ strong commitment to making our highways safer. 2013 in review | 3 This tag cloud shows the most frequent search words entered by visitors to iihs.org.

  • Shopping for a Safer Car 2017
    Shopping for a safer car 2017 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Highway Loss Data Institute Selecting a safer vehicle is a lot easier than it used to be. Most new cars, minivans, pickups and SUVs perform well in a range of crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for High- way Safety (IIHS), as well as the federal govern- ment. Still, some models could do a better job of protecting people in rollovers, rear crashes and certain front crashes. Crash avoidance technol- ogy is available on many mainstream and luxury models, so safety-conscious buyers also should look for these systems when weighing options. Whether you are in the market for a new or used vehicle, here are some things to consider: Vehicle size and weight matter. Smaller, lighter vehicles generally offer less protection than larger, heavier ones. There is less structure to absorb crash energy, so deaths and injuries are more likely. People in lighter vehicles also experience higher crash forces when struck by heavier vehicles. If safety is a major consider- ation, pass up very small, light vehicles. A crashworthy design reduces death and injury risk. Structure and restraints help deter- mine crashworthiness. Good structure means a strong occupant compartment, crumple zones to absorb the force of a serious crash, side structure to man- age the force of a striking vehicle or struck object and a strong roof that won’t collapse in a rollover. Safety belts keep people in their seats and spread crash forces across the upper body’s stronger bony parts. Airbags protect people from hitting things inside the vehicle or objects outside it.

  • 2019 Insurance Fact Book
    2019 Insurance Fact Book TO THE READER Imagine a world without insurance. Some might say, “So what?” or “Yes to that!” when reading the sentence above. And that’s understandable, given that often the best experience one can have with insurance is not to receive the benefits of the product at all, after a disaster or other loss. And others—who already have some understanding or even appreciation for insurance—might say it provides protection against financial aspects of a premature death, injury, loss of property, loss of earning power, legal liability or other unexpected expenses. All that is true. We are the financial first responders. But there is so much more. Insurance drives economic growth. It provides stability against risks. It encourages resilience. Recent disasters have demonstrated the vital role the industry plays in recovery—and that without insurance, the impact on individuals, businesses and communities can be devastating. As insurers, we know that even with all that we protect now, the coverage gap is still too big. We want to close that gap. That desire is reflected in changes to this year’s Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.)Insurance Fact Book. We have added new information on coastal storm surge risk and hail as well as reinsurance and the growing problem of marijuana and impaired driving. We have updated the section on litigiousness to include tort costs and compensation by state, and assignment of benefits litigation, a growing problem in Florida. As always, the book provides valuable information on: • World and U.S. catastrophes • Property/casualty and life/health insurance results and investments • Personal expenditures on auto and homeowners insurance • Major types of insurance losses, including vehicle accidents, homeowners claims, crime and workplace accidents • State auto insurance laws The I.I.I.
