The $58.3 million unfavorable net development and $60.9 million unfavorable net development in prior accident years recognized in 2020 and 2019, respectively, represent changes in our loss reserve estimates.  In 2020 and 2019, the aggregate loss reserve estimates for prior years were increased to reflect unfavorable loss development when the available information indicated a reasonable likelihood that the ultimate losses would be more than the previous estimates. The unfavorable prior year reserve development during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was primarily driven by the continued emergence of increased frequency and severity trends in our primary commercial automobile lines of business within our Commercial Auto business unit, which was representative of industry trends, as well as unfavorable development in our general liability lines within our E&S Casualty business unit and our Standard Commercial Segment, as well as our personal automobile liability line in our Specialty Personal Lines business unit. The unfavorable prior year reserve development during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was primarily driven by increased frequency and severity trends in our primary commercial auto lines of business within our Commercial Auto business unit, which was representative of industry trends, as well as unfavorable development in our general liability lines within our E&S Casualty business unit.  Generally, changes in reserves are caused by variations between actual experience and previous expectations and by reduced emphasis on the Bornhuetter-Ferguson method due to the aging of the accident years.

The impact from the unfavorable (favorable) net prior years’ loss development on each reporting segment is presented below:

The following describes the primary factors behind each segment’s prior accident year loss reserve development for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Year ended December 31, 2020:

Specialty Commercial Segment. Our Commercial Auto business unit experienced net unfavorable development in the 2018 and prior accident years primarily in the commercial automobile liability line of business, partially offset by favorable development primarily in the commercial automobile line of business in the 2019 accident year. Our E&S Casualty business unit experienced net unfavorable development primarily in our E&S package insurance products in the 2018 and prior accident years, partially offset by favorable development in the 2019  accident year. We experienced net favorable development in our E&S Property and Aerospace & Programs business units, partially offset by net unfavorable development in our Professional Liability.
Standard Commercial Segment. Our Commercial Accounts business operating unit experienced net unfavorable development in the 2018 and prior accident years primarily in the general liability line of business, partially offset by net favorable development primarily in the commercial property and commercial automobile liability lines of business in the 2019 accident year and net favorable development primarily in the 2017 accident year in the occupational accident line of business. Our former Workers Compensation operating unit experienced net favorable development primarily in the 2014 and prior accident years.
Personal Segment. Net unfavorable development in our Specialty Personal Lines business unit was mostly attributable to the 2018, 2016, 2014 and 2012 and prior accidents years, partially offset by favorable development in the 2017, 2015 and 2013 accident years.

Year ended December 31, 2019:

Specialty Commercial Segment. Our Commercial Auto business unit experienced net unfavorable development in the 2017 and prior accident years primarily in the commercial automobile liability line of business, partially offset by favorable development primarily in the commercial automobile line of business in the 2018 accident year. Our E&S Casualty business unit experienced net unfavorable development primarily in our E&S package insurance products in the 2018 and prior accident years. We experienced net favorable development in our E&S Property and Professional Liability business units, partially offset by net unfavorable development in our Aerospace & Programs business unit.
Standard Commercial Segment. Our Commercial Accounts business operating unit experienced net unfavorable development in the 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2013 and prior accident years primarily in the general liability line of business, partially offset by net favorable development primarily in the commercial property line of business in the 2018 and 2014 accident years and net favorable development primarily in the 2015 accident year in the occupational accident line of business. Our former Workers Compensation operating unit experienced net favorable development primarily in the 2015 accident year.
Personal Segment. Net unfavorable development in our Specialty Personal Lines business unit was mostly attributable to the 2018, 2016, 2014 and 2012 and prior accidents years, partially offset by favorable development in the 2017, 2015 and 2013 accident years.

Reserves for unpaid losses and LAE represent management’s  best estimate of our ultimate liabilities, based on currently known facts, current law, current technology and assumptions considered reasonable where facts are not known. Due to the significant uncertainties and related management judgments, there can be no assurance that future favorable or unfavorable loss development, which may be material, will not occur.

Short-Duration Contract Disclosures

ASU 2015-09, “Disclosures about Short-Duration Contracts (Topic 944)", requires insurers to make disclosures about their liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses for short-duration insurance contracts. These disclosures include tables showing incurred and paid claims development information (net of reinsurance and excluding unallocated loss adjustment expenses) which are disaggregated based on the characteristics of the insurance contracts that the insurer writes and other factors specific to the reporting entity. The information should be disclosed by accident year for the number of years claims typically remain outstanding, but need not be more than 10 years, including a reconciliation of the disaggregated information to the consolidated statement of financial position. We have evaluated the disaggregation criteria and concluded that the basis for our disaggregation of this information is the similar claim duration period of our primary lines of business (certain lines of business have short settlement periods versus long settlement periods).

Reserves for Incurred But Not Reported (“IBNR”) Claims

Reserves for IBNR claims are based on the estimated ultimate cost of settling claims, including the effects of inflation and other social and economic factors, using past experience adjusted for current trends and any other factors that would modify past experience. We use a variety of statistical and actuarial techniques to analyze current claims costs, including frequency and severity data and prevailing economic, social and legal factors. Each such method has its own set of assumptions and outputs, and each has strengths and weaknesses in different areas. Since no single estimation method is superior to another method in all situations, the methods and assumptions used to project loss reserves will vary by coverage and product. We use what we believe to be the most appropriate set of actuarial methods and assumptions for each product line grouping and coverage. While the loss projection methods may vary by product line and coverage, the general approach for calculating IBNR remains the same: ultimate losses are forecasted first, and that amount is reduced by the amount of cumulative paid claims and case reserves. Reserves established in prior years are adjusted as loss experience develops and new information becomes available. Adjustments to previously estimated reserves are reflected in the results of operations in the year in which they are made.

As described above, various actuarial methods are utilized to determine the reserves for losses and LAE recorded in our consolidated balance sheets. Weightings of methods at a detailed level may change from evaluation to evaluation based on a number of observations, measures, and time elements.

Methodology for Determining Cumulative Number of Reported Claims

A claim file is created when the Company is notified of an actual demand for payment, notified of an event that may lead to a demand for payment or it is determined that a demand for payment could possibly lead to a future demand for payment on another coverage on the same policy or on another policy.The cumulative number of reported claims is predominately measured at the claim level for our Commercial Accounts, Aviation, Personal, Primary Commercial Auto Liability, and certain Programs lines of business and at a coverage level by occurrence for our other lines of business. The Company does not generate claim counts for ceded business.

Incurred & Paid Claims Development Disclosures

The following tables provide information about incurred and cumulative paid losses and allocated loss adjustment expenses (“ALAE”), net of reinsurance for our primary lines of business with similar claims duration periods. The incurred and paid losses by accident year information presented for all lines of business with similar claim duration periods in the below tables for calendar years prior to 2016 is required supplementary information and is unaudited. The following tables also include IBNR reserves plus expected development on reported claims and the cumulative number of reported claims as of December 31, 2020 ($ in thousands):

(1)The average annual percentage payout is calculated from a paid losses and ALAE development pattern based on an actuarial analysis of the paid losses and ALAE movements by accident year for each disaggregation category. The paid losses and ALAE development pattern provides the expected percentage of ultimate losses and ALAE to be paid in each year. The pattern considers all accident years included in the claims development tables.
