Insurance firms to boost rates in Ohio auto coverage
About half of Ohio licensed auto insurers began raising property damage premiums today while bodily injury rates stayed level. Middletown firms had not yet seen increases, with a spokesman noting official notice is pending. The National Bureau of Casualty Underwriters cited higher accident frequency and repair costs as reasons for the hikes, though the state insurance division warned the filings were not entirely satisfactory and pledged a thorough review. A new class for private passenger cars driven by under 25s will add about five percent to rates.
