Best Answer

To explain loss ratio we have to start by the factors included in a loss.

The loss factors are:

Claims paid plus

net reserves plus

incurred but not reported (IBNR) plus

provision for adverse deviation (PAD)

Total them and substract your total with

Total recoveries (actual +potential)

You now have the total loss.

Once we have these factors, we can divide the loss by the earned premium to obtain the ratio.
