How are premiums determined?

Premiums for insurance policies offered by American Financial Group are determined through a comprehensive assessment of various factors. Insurers typically utilize an analytical approach to evaluate risks associated with insuring a particular individual or entity. These factors include the type of insurance policy being sought, the insured's personal or business information, and the specific characteristics of the risk being insured. For personal insurance, factors that influence premiums may include the insured's age, health history, driving record, and credit score. For business insurance, elements such as the nature of the business, industry risks, loss history, and workplace safety practices come into play. The specific coverage options selected also have a significant impact; higher coverage limits and lower deductibles generally result in higher premiums. Additionally, insurers take into consideration broader economic factors, including market trends, competitive pricing, and regulatory requirements in the relevant state or jurisdiction. All of this data is processed through actuarial techniques to project the likelihood of future claims and the anticipated costs associated with them. It is important for policyholders to regularly review their coverage needs and consider how changes in their circumstances may affect their premiums.
