siniestralidad
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)

2) Any company may have a history of good loss experience because they went a long period of time without any presenting any claims to its insurer usually resulting in a reduction of premiums
