For claims within our insurance program, we retain the risk of loss, up to certain annual stop-loss limits, for matters related to automobile liability, general liability (including damages associated with underground facility locating services), workers’ compensation, and employee group health. Losses for claims beyond our retained risk of loss are covered by insurance up to our coverage limits.

For workers’ compensation losses during fiscal 2025 and 2024, we retained the risk of loss up to $1.0 million on a per occurrence basis. This retention amount is applicable to all of the states in which we operate, except with respect to workers’ compensation insurance in two states in which we participate in state-sponsored insurance funds.
For automobile liability and general liability losses during fiscal 2024, we retained the risk of loss up to $1.0 million on a per-occurrence basis for the first $5.0 million of insurance coverage. We also retained the risk of loss for the next $10.0 million on a per-occurrence basis for losses between $5.0 million and $15.0 million, if any. Additionally, during fiscal 2024 we retained $10.0 million risk of loss on a per occurrence basis for losses between $30.0 million and $40.0 million, if any.

For automobile liability losses during fiscal 2025, we retained the risk of loss up to $2.0 million on a per-occurrence basis for the first $5.0 million of insurance coverage. We also retained the risk of loss for the next $5.0 million on a per-occurrence basis for losses between $5.0 million and $10.0 million, if any.

For general liability losses during fiscal 2025, we retained the risk of loss up to $1.0 million on a per-occurrence basis for the first $5.0 million of insurance coverage. We also retained the risk of loss for the next $5.0 million on a per-occurrence basis for losses between $5.0 million and $10.0 million, if any.

We are party to a stop-loss agreement for losses under our employee group health plan. For calendar year 2024, we retain the risk of loss on an annual basis, up to the first $700,000 of claims per participant.

Amounts for total accrued insurance claims and insurance recoveries/receivables are as follows (dollars in thousands):

April 27, 2024January 27, 2024
Accrued insurance claims - current$51,608 $44,466 
Accrued insurance claims - non-current54,389 49,447

Insurance recoveries/receivables:
Non-current (included in Other assets)4,920 4,760 
Insurance recoveries/receivables$4,920 $4,760 

Insurance recoveries/receivables represent the amount of accrued insurance claims that are covered by insurance as the amounts exceed the Company’s loss retention. During the three months ended April 27, 2024, total insurance recoveries/receivables increased approximately $0.2 million primarily due to additional claims that exceeded our loss retention. Accrued insurance claims increased by a corresponding amount.
