(1) As to casualty insurance transacted by it, each insurer shall maintain at all times reserves in an amount estimated in the aggregate to provide for payment of all losses and claims incurred, whether reported or unreported, which are unpaid and for which the insurer may be liable, and to provide for the expenses of adjustment or settlement of losses and claims. The reserves shall be computed in accordance with regulations from time to time made by the commissioner, after due notice and hearing, upon reasonable consideration of the ascertained experience and the character of such kind of business for the purpose of adequately protecting the insured and the solvency of the insurer.
