Court ruling cited in Maryland auto insurance rate decision
Maryland Insurance Commissioner Francis B. Burch denied a rate increase of more than 23 percent sought by auto liability insurers. The Maryland Court of Appeals ruled that payments into the unsatisfied claim and judgment fund could be deducted from state taxes, a decision that could cost the state $1 million to $2 million. The National Bureau of Casualty Underwriters represented 80 companies. The hearing noted Maryland paid out $119.90 for every $100 in premiums in a fiscal year, with bodily injury claims rising from $818 in 1961 to $889 in 1964. Burch opposed counting investment income in rate making but allowed consideration of unearned premium reserve income. He suggested insurers may be juggling accounting methods to justify higher rates.
