Insurance Reserves
Our liabilities for unpaid and incurred but not reported claims as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 (which include claims for workers’ compensation, commercial general and auto liability, and employee-related health care benefits) were $420.2 million and $418.5 million, respectively, under our risk management program and are included in other accrued liabilities and insurance reserves, net of current portion, in our consolidated balance sheets. While the ultimate amount of claims incurred depends on future developments, we believe the recorded reserves are adequate to cover the future payment of claims; however, it is possible that these recorded reserves may not be adequate to cover the future payment of claims. Adjustments, if any, to estimates recorded resulting from ultimate claim payments will be reflected in our consolidated statements of income in the periods in which such adjustments are known.
