How liability rates will significantly fall in 2025 due to the recent Ogden rate reduction
The Ogden rate may sound an obscure thing, but it has massive implications both positively and negatively on liability settlements. All brokers, underwriters and claims staff should have a good understanding of the Ogden rate in order to explain rating changes to policyholders and understand why large liability claims will now be reducing.
The Ogden rate is used by courts to increase or decrease large personal injury liability claims. It was one of the main reasons why the market went so hard in recent years when the rate started loading liability settlements, and it will be one of the man reasons why we will now go into a softer market due to the fact it will start discounting liability settlements from 10 January 2025.
