The Pennsylvania Insurance Department published a bulletin announcing an increase in the accident surcharge dollar threshold for personal automobile insurance.

Section 1799.3(a) of 75 Pa.C.S. states that an insurer cannot cancel or refuse to renew a policy or apply any surcharge or rate penalty if a policyholder’s aggregate claim cost over 3 years does not exceed the threshold. The claim cost includes personal injury and property damage and is measured after consideration of the deductible.
