In 2006, Pinnacle was retained by a group of several automobile insurance companies representing a significant share of the Maryland automobile insurance market to conduct an independent actuarial analysis of the Abell Foundation report, Actuarial Discrimination: City Residents Pay Up To 198% More For Car Insurance Than County Residents (Abell report). This report discusses many factors which contribute to higher automobile insurance rates in urban areas than rural areas with particular emphasis on Baltimore and attempts to quantify the magnitude of this as noted by the title of his report.
Comparative / Contributory Negligence More »

Contractor's Liability More »
Pinnacle was asked to provide a legislative costing analysis and expert testimony regarding proposed legislation that would substantially expand coverage for construction defects in Oregon. Pinnacle’s study and testimony focused not only on the current conditions of the contractors’ liability insurance market compared to other states, but also the historical changes seen when other states made similar changes. Our analysis also focused on the relationship between home warranties and commercial general liability insurance policies and how these risk mitigation techniques differ over time after a home is completed.
At Pinnacle, we partner with you to explore whatever path it takes to find the answers you need.
