GTO, what you are asking is a huge subject of Risk Management. Usually the wider your spread of risk, it sort of pays to self-insure or pay lower premium with higher deductibles.

Today the NCB itself is a disincentive for claims. I have a NCB of 50% so for a premium of 22k, the claim must exceed 11k by a reasonable amount for me to even bother with the effort of a claim.
