19. Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of its business. The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company and other loss contingencies are subject to significant uncertainty. The Company accrues a charge against income when its management determines that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, the Company accrues for the authoritative judgments or assertions made against the Company by government agencies at the time of their rendering regardless of its intent to appeal. In addition, the Company is from time-to-time party to litigation, administrative proceedings and union grievances that arise in the normal course of business, and occasionally pays amounts to resolve claims or alleged violations of regulatory requirements. There are no "normal course" matters that separately or in the aggregate, would, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In determining the appropriate accounting for loss contingencies, the Company considers the likelihood of loss or the incurrence of a liability, as well as the Company’s ability to reasonably estimate the amount of potential loss. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to determine whether an accrual should be established or adjusted. Estimating the probability that a loss will occur and estimating the amount of a potential loss or a range of potential loss involves significant estimation and judgment.  During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $6.0 million in reserves related to legal matters.
