NCID PART 2 - Claims - Ultimate Claims

In Part 2 of NCID report, claims are grouped together by accident year, the year in which the accident occurred. Not all of these claims will be paid yet. Some claims, injury claims in particular, can take many years to be fully paid. In order to calculate the cost of claims for a particular accident year, insurers estimate the cost of claims that have not yet been paid. This is added to the paid claims to give an ultimate cost of claims. The ultimate cost of claims is recalculated regularly, based on the most up-to-date information available. The more time that has passed since the accident year, the more certain the ultimate cost of claims. The data related to Premiums and ultimate claim cost by different claim type can be found here
