An all-time record for premiums was set last year by property and casualty insurance companies. In 2006, they report, property and casualty insurance premiums rose to $63,700,000,000.00. The increase of $20,000,000,000.00 in premium intake over 2005 is attributed to the absence of Catastrophe Claims including damages claims from Hurricanes.
