Prior year development (“PYD”) arises from changes in loss estimates during the current period related to events occurring in prior calendar years. Long-tailed lines include lines of business that typically take many years for claims to settle, such as third-party liability, while short-tailed lines are those that settle more quickly, such as property. The table below summarizes (favorable) and adverse net PYD by segment and tail length:
