During 2022, inflationary trends accelerated to their highest level in decades, which had a significant impact on the cost of automobile parts and labor as well as medical expenses for bodily injuries, and supply chain and labor shortage issues lengthened the time to repair vehicles. Bodily injury costs were also under pressure from social inflation. The severe inflationary trend continued into 2023, but began moderating as the year progressed. These factors contributed to higher losses and loss adjustment expenses related to the current accident year for 2023 and 2022 compared to 2021. The decrease in the provision for insured events of prior years in 2023 of approximately $35.9 million primarily resulted from lower than estimated losses and loss adjustment expenses in the private passenger automobile and homeowners lines of insurance business, partially offset by unfavorable reserve development in the commercial property line of insurance business. The moderating inflationary trend in 2023 relative to 2022 discussed above was the major contributor to the favorable reserve development in the private passenger automobile line of insurance business for 2023. The increase in the provision for insured events of prior years in 2022 of approximately $47.3 million primarily resulted from higher than estimated losses and loss adjustment expenses in the automobile line of insurance business. The inflationary pressures and the supply chain and labor shortage issues discussed above were major contributors to the adverse reserve development in the automobile line of insurance business for 2022. The decrease in the provision for insured events of prior years in 2021 of approximately $26.1 million primarily resulted from lower than estimated losses and loss adjustment expenses in the homeowners and private passenger automobile lines of insurance business. The Company recorded catastrophe losses net of reinsurance of approximately $239 million, $102 million, and $104 million in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Catastrophe losses due to the events that occurred in 2023 totaled approximately $247 million, w ith no reinsurance benefits used for these losses, resulting primarily from rainstorms and hail in Texas and Oklahoma, winter storms and rainstorms in California, and the impact of Tropical Storm Hilary in California. In addition, the Company experienced favorable development of approximately $8 million on prior years' catastrophe losses in 2023. Catastrophe losses due to the events that occurred in 2022 totaled approximately $101 million, with no reinsurance benefits used for these losses, resulting primarily from the deep freeze of Winter Storm Elliott and other extreme weather events in Texas, Oklahoma and Georgia, winter storms in California, and the impact of Hurricane Ian in Florida. In addition, the Company experienced unfavorable development of approximately $1 million on prior years' catastrophe losses in 2022. Catastrophe losses due to the events that occurred in 2021 totaled approximately $109 million, with no reinsurance benefits used for these losses, resulting primarily from the deep freeze of Winter Storm Uri and other extreme weather events in Texas and Oklahoma, rainstorms, wildfires and winter storms in California, and the impact of Hurricane Ida in New Jersey and New York. In addition, the Company experienced favorable development of approximately $5 million on prior years' catastrophe losses in 2021. The following is information about incurred and paid claims development as of December 31, 2023, net of reinsurance, as well as cumulative claim frequency and the total of incurred-but-not-reported liabilities plus expected development on reported claims included within the net incurred claims amounts for our two major product lines: automobile and homeowners lines of business. As the information presented is for these two major product lines only, the total incurred and paid claims development shown below does not correspond to the aggregate development presented in the table above, which is for all product lines and includes unallocated claims adjustment expenses. The cumulative number of reported claims represents open claims, claims closed with payment, and claims closed without payment. It does not include an estimated amount for unreported claims. The number of claims is measured by claim event (such as a car accident or storm damage) and an individual claim event may result in more than one reported claim. The Company considers a claim that does not result in a liability as a claim closed without payment. The information about incurred and paid claims development for the years ended December 31, 2014 to 2022 is presented as unaudited supplementary information.
