Property damage charges increased 2.1 percent, medical payments 2.7 percent, uninsured motorists, 3 percent, and underinsured motorists, 10.6 percent. This amounts to a liability total of 5.1 percent.
Comprehensive physical damage coverage dropped by 6.5 percent and collision coverage dropped 14.5 percent, for a physical damage total of minus 12 percent. This amounted to a minus 2.5 percent decrease in rates.
At the same time motorcycle liability rates dropped minus 6.5 percent.
