What is a loss run?
Quick reference: what a loss run is, what one contains, and how to read it.
Definition
A loss run is a report issued by an insurance carrier that lists a policyholder's claims history over a set period — typically three to five years.
Each entry records the claim date, type, status, amount paid, and reserves. Underwriters use loss runs to assess risk and price renewals. Every carrier formats them differently, which is what makes them slow to process at scale.
What is in a loss run report?
A loss run report typically contains the policy number and effective dates, a line per claim with date of loss and claim status (open, closed, or reopened), amounts paid, outstanding reserves, and a total incurred figure. Carriers vary in whether they include claimant detail, cause-of-loss coding, and subrogation recovery.
How far back does a loss run report go?
Most submissions ask for three to five years of loss history. A 5 year loss run report is standard for commercial lines; a 3 year loss run report is common for smaller accounts.
How do you read a loss run report?
Read a loss run by first checking the policy period and whether the report is valued to a recent date. Then review each claim line for status, paid amount, and reserves. Total incurred is paid plus reserves. Open claims with large reserves carry the most forward-looking risk.
How long does manual loss run review take?
Industry estimates put up to 40% of underwriters' time on administrative work — much of it manual document handling like loss run processing. At 1,000 submissions a month, that's roughly 500–1,000 hours of underwriter time on loss run processing alone — time an automated extraction workflow gives back to risk assessment.
