What is the Commercial Property Casualty Market Index Survey?

Commercial property casualty market index survey is a market report designed to examine insurance agents and brokers. The report is meant to give out information regarding the performance of the market on a quarterly basis. The report covers data such as premium rates in various commercial accounts. In addition, it keeps track of regional trends as well as providing overviews of the market conditions, including trends in price.

How is the Commercial Property/Casualty Market Index Survey Used?

The quarterly survey is usually carried out to reflect variation in the damaged market and commercial property market. The survey may include things such as:

• Business accounts premium rates. This applies to all sizes of accounts including small, medium, and large.
• Track regional trends
• Current members post comments on the status of the market

Initially, the survey results are usually dispersed in the media mostly as a press release. The purpose of disseminating the results is to ensure that officials are educated on commercial damages. The CPCMS was founded in 1990, and in this kind of investigations, it is the longest-serving. 80% of participants contributed to the survey of the U.S. insurance premium. A biannual study known as Employee Benefits Market Index was also conducted during the survey. Note that there is a difference between commercial and residential property. The commercial property requires zoning that is separate from a residential property because it does generate income. It is mandatory to protect commercial property from damage just as the residential property is protected. Examples of commercial property include:

• Retail stores
• Industrial zones
• Apartments

Commercial Property Insurance Report Example

Lets assume that there is a broken pipe passing through a food store, and grocery toilet, which causes the shop to be flooded. Casualty insurance takes care of such types of damages. The period covered is always extensive, however, it all depends on the insurance contracts. Generally, liability insurance is included in casualty insurance. This is usually essential where there is damage, and the person or company is not able to meet the payment responsibility. Apart from damage, casualty insurance may also cover the following:

• Death
• Injury
• Theft
