2017 INSURANCE INFORMATION INSTITUTE (I.I.I.) INSURANCE FACT BOOK NOW AVAILABLE

NEW YORK, March 8, 2016—The latest edition of the Insurance Information Institute’s (I.I.I.) popular Insurance Fact Book is now available. Regarded as the most comprehensive and authoritative resource of its kind, the Insurance Fact Book is a go-to resource for journalists, businesses, policymakers, researchers, academia, students and anyone who needs to understand the insurance industry.

“The I.I.I. Insurance Fact Book provides invaluable information on trends and statistics shaping the insurance industry,” said Sean Kevelighan, chief executive officer of the I.I.I. “We are extremely proud of our 2017 edition, including a bonus feature – an excerpt from our Cyberrisk white paper,” he said. “Interest in cyber insurance and risk continues to expand, and so we have included topics such as the growth in cyber liability and the rising frequency and severity of cyberattacks.”

The Insurance Fact Book includes thousands of facts, figures, statistical tables and charts documenting the size and composition of the insurance industry, including information on the auto and home insurance markets; commercial insurance (workers compensation, liability insurance, mortgage guaranty and financial guaranty insurance); cost drivers (litigation, fraud and medical costs and other factors); and catastrophes (including hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorism and other disasters) and much more.
