Insurance Loss Reserves [Abstract] |
8. Change in Excess Workers' Compensation Reserves Estimate | 8. Change in Excess Workers' Compensation Reserves Estimate The Company's policy is to regularly review the adequacy of loss reserves associated with the lines of business of its insurance subsidiaries. A current review of the underlying claims of Repwest's excess workers' compensation business indicated that claims have been developing more adversely than previously anticipated based on a combination of issues including medical inflation, additional treatments, longer claim terms and changes in ceding entity and third party administrator reporting practices. As a result, Repwest adjusted its estimate for excess workers' compensation reserves. The effect of this change increased benefits and losses expense by $48.3 million and decreased net earnings by $31.4 million, or $1.61 per share, for the third quarter ended fiscal 2012.
