Abstract

The article focuses on the 2025 trends in insurance claims in the United States, based on Verisk's Annual Insurance Claims Trends Report. It highlights a general decline in claims volumes across personal and commercial lines, including homeowners, personal auto, commercial property, and commercial auto claims. Despite these declines, the report emphasizes increasing complexity and emerging risks, such as smoke damage from the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, which has prompted legislative action in California through the Smoke Damage Recovery Act. Additionally, claims related to gig workers in commercial auto insurance, silica dust exposure, and e-bike incidents have risen significantly from 2021 to 2025, indicating evolving risk patterns in the insurance sector.
