Once again, Demotech Inc., the official research partner of Insurance Journal, identified the nation’s Super Regional Property/Casualty Insurers — P/C insurers writing multiple lines of insurance in multiple states. To determine the companies for the 2017 Super Regional Property/Casualty Insurer™ list, Demotech used these specific, objective qualifying criteria and thresholds evaluated as of Dec. 31, 2016:

• Active, individual companies.
• Reporting data using the property/casualty annual statement format.
• At least $1 million of direct premium written in each of two to 34 states.
• Less than 90 percent of direct premium written in any one state.
• Less than 90 percent of direct premium written in any one line of business.
• Policyholders surplus of at least $100 million.
