All auto losses are used to determine premiums. All claims paid plus expenses of the company are added up to determine if the insurance company has a profit or a loss. Auto insurance companies usually try to break even on underwriting of auto insurance policies. If they can break even on the insurance then they will usually make money on investing the premiums and be profitable for the year.
