Abstract: This paper examines social inflation in the US property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry, exploring its definition, origins, and key drivers. We highlight its evolution over time and growing significance in 2025, and we discuss potential strategies for insurers, reinsurers, and policymakers to mitigate its impact in the future.
