Major reasons cited that I have found are 1) To many uninsured motorist getting in crashes with us that are insured and 2) Severity of crashes

Well, when insurance companies are paying out $1.04 - $1.50 in claims for every dollar they take in in premiums, your last name doesn't have to be Einstein to figure out you can't sustain that kind of loss on such a large scale for very long without taking some major price increases.
You can thank the hike in prices of building materials, labor, vehicle parts, medical costs, etc. for this, as well as an increase in insurance-related lawsuits (ever drive down 45 in Houston and notice the dozens and dozens of personal injury attorney billboards?).

Our insurance agent told us the 2 primary drivers of all of the increases are -1) Increased prices of new vehicles; and 2) Increased percentage of uninsured motorist
Apparently, in the major metro areas of Texas, around 15% of the drivers on the road are either uninsured or not adequately insured. Combine that with the $50-80K vehicles people are driving with 5 + year notes. Also, you better bet the number of illegals crossing the boarder is playing a role in the increased number of uninsured motorist.
