As New York, New Jersey and Connecticut continue to recover from the ravages of Superstorm Sandy, catastrophe modeling firms are refining their estimates of insured losses and insurers and reinsurers begin to tally their claims. Insured loss estimates now exceed $20 million, making Sandy one of the largest insured loss events. Nonetheless, the losses probably will not be sufficient to propel sharply higher premiums for a sustained period of time. Although premiums may trend upward in the short term – especially for property business in catastrophe prone regions – the property/casualty insurance market remains abundantly capitalized, which should cushion the financial impact and avoid the type of hard market conditions seen in 2001 and 2002.
