Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Contingencies | Contingencies The Company is, from time to time, named as a defendant in various lawsuits or regulatory actions incidental to its insurance business. The majority of lawsuits brought against the Company relate to insurance claims that arise in the normal course of business and are reserved for through the reserving process. For a discussion of the Company’s reserving methods, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. On September 10, 2021, the California Department of Insurance ("DOI") served the Company a Notice of Non-Compliance ("NNC"), alleging violations in connection with its 2014 Rating & Underwriting Examination Report, which was adopted by the California DOI in 2019. The NNC itemized alleged violations, many of which management believed were corrected or otherwise resolved during the course of the examination, and sought penalties. The Company participated in lengthy and detailed discussions with the California DOI after the adoption of the examination report, in an attempt to address the issues deemed unresolved by the California DOI, and took several additional corrective actions approved by the California DOI. On August 1, 2022, the California DOI publicly announced its intention to pursue an administrative action against the Company with respect to certain outstanding issues. The Company filed a written response to the NNC on September 29, 2022, along with written discovery requests. The response, consisting of a notice of defense, a motion to strike, and a motion to dismiss, challenged the NNC on procedural and substantive grounds. On November 9, 2022, the California DOI served objections and non-substantive responses to the Company's discovery requests. On November 14, 2023, the California DOI granted Consumer Watchdog's petition to intervene in the NNC, although the Company did not agree to allow its involvement in the mediation, which took place on March 4, 2024. The parties did not resolve the case at the mediation, but continued settlement discussions. On February 24, 2025, the Company and the California DOI entered into a stipulated settlement agreement and consent order (the "Consent Order"), which resolved contested issues in the NNC. Pursuant to the Consent Order and without admitting liability, wrongdoing or violation of law with respect to the allegations contained in the NNC, the Company agreed to make the changes to its practices and procedures that were agreed to by both parties, including where appropriate (i) the refund of premium, (ii) modification of rating and underwriting rules, and (iii) development of new forms, practices and procedures. Under the Consent Order, the Company agreed to pay $5 million in refunds to its impacted policyholders by August 23, 2025. The Consent Order also provides for a contingent future penalty of $1.5 million that will be deemed void if the Company provides proof of timely refunds of the aforementioned $5 million and complies with the aforementioned changes to its practices and procedures as outlined in the Consent Order. All of the refunds have been issued, and the Company expects to fully comply with the terms of the Consent Order. The Company establishes reserves for non-insurance claims related lawsuits, regulatory actions, and other contingencies when the Company believes a loss is probable and is able to estimate its potential exposure. For loss contingencies believed to be reasonably possible, the Company also discloses the nature of the loss contingency and an estimate of the possible loss, range of loss, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. In addition, the Company accrues for anticipated legal defense costs associated with such lawsuits and regulatory actions. While actual losses may differ from the amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of the Company's pending actions is generally not yet determinable, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of currently pending legal or regulatory proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or cash flows. In all cases, the Company vigorously defends itself unless a reasonable settlement appears appropriate. For a discussion of any additional regulatory or legal matters, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
