Insurance Reserves
The Company operates with a significant self-insured retention of expected losses under its workers’ compensation, employee medical, general liability, auto, and non-owned auto programs up to certain individual and aggregate reinsurance levels. Losses are accrued based upon the Company’s estimates of the ultimate costs to settle incurred claims, both reported and incurred but unreported using certain third-party actuarial projections and the Company’s claims loss experience. The estimated insurance claims losses could vary significantly should the frequency or ultimate cost of the claims significantly differ from historical trends used to estimate the insurance reserves recorded by the Company. In the event the Company’s insurance carriers are unable to pay claims submitted to them, the Company would record a liability for such estimated payments expected to be incurred.

The Company recorded estimated liabilities for claims loss reserves of $26.6 million and $26.1 million at December 31, 2013 and December 25, 2012, respectively. These estimates are recorded net of amounts expected to be recovered from the third party insurance carrier for claims in excess of self-insured retentions of $8.9 million and $8.5 million at December 31, 2013 and December 25, 2012, respectively.
