Word of the Day...
"Rate Increase" - what does this mean?

An insurance rate is the amount of money necessary to cover losses, cover expenses, and provide a profit to the insurer for a single exposure unit. A rate increase is when these factors see an uptick due to economic circumstances. Rates, as contrasted with loss costs, include provision for the insurer's profit and expenses.
