Lost-time claim frequency is estimated to have declined 2% in 2025, according to the report reflecting preliminary estimates. Despite rising costs per claim, workers compensation insurers continued to post underwriting gains. Private insurers’ final countrywide net combined ratio for calendar year 2025 was 90.6%, up 4.5 percentage points from 2024, marking the line’s 12th consecutive year of underwriting profitability. Net written premium declined 0.2% to $41.6 billion. For 2026, NCCI projects a net combined ratio of 91% to 96%, based on preliminary analysis of National Association of Insurance Commissioners data through the second quarter and assumptions about year-end development and expenses. Private insurers’ direct written premium fell 0.4% in the first half of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025, while their direct loss ratio rose two percentage points to 52%.
