Short-duration insurance contracts, claims development
The following claims development tables and associated disclosures related to short-duration insurance contracts are prepared by sub-segment within the property and casualty insurance business for the most recent 10 accident years. AFG determines its claim counts at the claimant or policy feature level depending on the particular facts and circumstances of the underlying claim. While the methodology is generally consistent within each sub-segment, there are minor differences
between and within the sub-segments. The methods used to summarize claim counts have not changed significantly over the time periods reported in the tables below.

Short-duration insurance contracts, schedule of historical claims duration
The following claims development tables and associated disclosures related to short-duration insurance contracts are prepared by sub-segment within the property and casualty insurance business for the most recent 10 accident years. AFG determines its claim counts at the claimant or policy feature level depending on the particular facts and circumstances of the underlying claim. While the methodology is generally consistent within each sub-segment, there are minor differences
between and within the sub-segments. The methods used to summarize claim counts have not changed significantly over the time periods reported in the tables below.
