How to read this

A high loss ratio means carriers pay out more in claims relative to the premium they collect — a signal that a line is unprofitable in that state and that rates may rise. Commercial Auto runs hot across most states; Workers' Comp and Inland Marine are consistently profitable. Compare your line on its market hub, then compare real quotes for your business.
