siniestralidad

Explanation:
In insurance, "losses" are "claims". A loss/claim is a "siniestro" (in Spain, at least), hence "siniestralidad"
("siniestro" also means an accident, when viewed from an insurance/official perspective, and "siniestro total", as well as being the name of a rock group, means a "total writeoff" as in when you wreck your car)
