Influence of the Franchise On The Number of Claims in Motor Insurance

Abstract
If you introduce a franchise or raise its amount, the number of claims will decrease. One reason why you will operate a franchise in car damage insurance is to avoid the troublesome and expensive handling of the large number of very small claims. Therefore, the management could use a mathematical model describing the number of claims as related to the size of the franchise. By varying this figure one may find the franchise that provides for the optimal business conditions.
