State of the Insurance Market Report
2024 Initial Outlook:
Nonprofit & Human Services Insurance
Rate increases for nonprofits accelerated in the second half of the year, particularly for property insurance. Catastrophe (CAT) events brought over $150 billion in property losses in 2023, which impacted pricing.
Risk Strategies recommends that nonprofits reevaluate property values to ensure insurance policies cover at least 80% of the property value. When nonprofits update their property values, they may qualify for a lower rate increase.
Court activity is back in full swing after the COVID-19 shutdown. Last year, claims increased in the following areas:
- Molestation
- Wrongful termination/employment practices liability
- Professional liability for occupational therapists and other care providers
Carriers are charging nonprofits higher premiums in anticipation of litigation losses. Third-party litigation funding and nuclear verdicts make it impossible to predict total loss costs.
