Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of ProAssurance Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiaries and VIEs in which ProAssurance is the primary beneficiary (ProAssurance, PRA or the Company). See Note 10 for more information on ProAssurance's VIE interests. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. ProAssurance’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained in ProAssurance’s December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, ProAssurance operates in four reportable segments as follows: Specialty P&C, Workers' Compensation Insurance, Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance and Corporate. For more information on the Company's segment reporting, including the nature of products and services provided and financial information by segment, refer to Note 12. Reclassifications As a result of the third quarter 2023 segment reorganization, prior period segment information in Note 12 has been recast to conform to the Company's current segment reporting. Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures related to these amounts at the date of the financial statements. The Company evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis based on current and historical developments, market conditions, industry trends and other information that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company can make no assurance that actual results will conform to its estimates and assumptions; reported results of operations may be materially affected by changes in these estimates and assumptions. The significant accounting policies followed by ProAssurance in making estimates that materially affect financial reporting are summarized in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance’s December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. Accounting Changes Adopted The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Accounting Changes Not Yet Adopted Disclosure Improvements (ASU 2023-06) In October 2023, the FASB amended guidance to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics, which will allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC's existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC's regulations. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. ProAssurance is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on the Company's financial statement disclosures. Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07) Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requiring retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements, the FASB amended disclosure requirements for segment reporting by modifying and adding disclosure requirements, primarily related to significant segment expenses which are regularly provided to the Company’s CODM. ProAssurance is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on the Company's financial statement disclosures. Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09) Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024, the FASB amended disclosure requirements to provide greater transparency on income tax disclosures, including the disaggregation of existing disclosures related to the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ProAssurance is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on the Company's financial statement disclosures. |
Fair Value Measurement
Fair Value Measurement | 3 Months Ended |
Mar. 31, 2024 | |
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three level hierarchy has been established for valuing assets and liabilities based on how transparent (observable) the inputs are that are used to determine fair value, with the inputs considered most observable categorized as Level 1 and those that are the least observable categorized as Level 3. Hierarchy levels are defined as follows: Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. For ProAssurance, Level 1 inputs are generally quotes for securities actively traded in exchange or over-the-counter markets. Level 2: market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs). For ProAssurance, Level 2 inputs generally include quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, and results from pricing models that use observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are generally available at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3: the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances (non-observable inputs). For ProAssurance, Level 3 inputs are used in situations where little or no Level 1 or 2 inputs are available or are inappropriate given the particular circumstances. Level 3 inputs include results from pricing models for which some or all of the inputs are not observable, discounted cash flow methodologies, single non-binding broker quotes and adjustments to externally quoted prices that are based on management judgment or estimation. Fair values of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are shown in the following tables. Where applicable, the tables also indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine those fair values. For some assets, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. When this is the case, the asset is categorized based on the level of the most significant input to the fair value measurement. Assessments of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement require judgment and consideration of factors specific to the assets being valued.

All transfers were to or from Level 2. All transfers in and out of Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 related to securities held for which the level of market activity for identical or nearly identical securities varies from period to period. The securities were valued using multiple observable inputs when those inputs were available; otherwise the securities were valued using limited observable inputs. Fair Values Not Categorized At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, certain LPs/LLCs and investment funds measure fund assets at fair value on a recurring basis and provide a NAV for ProAssurance's interest. The carrying value of these interests is based on the NAV provided and was considered to approximate the fair value of the interests. For investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries, ProAssurance recognizes any changes in the NAV of its interests in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries during the period of change. In accordance with GAAP, the fair value of these investments was not classified within the fair value hierarchy. The amount of ProAssurance's unfunded contractual commitments related to these investments as of March 31, 2024 and fair values of these investments as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows: Unfunded Fair Value (In thousands) March 31, March 31, December 31, Investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries: Private debt funds (1) $4,565 $ 16,768 $ 19,886 Long/short equity funds (2) None 4,243 4,497 Non-public equity funds (3) $38,970 115,421 111,251 Credit funds (4) $31,552 56,595 55,740 Strategy focused funds (5) $50,427 53,116 54,081 Total investments carried at NAV $ 246,143 $ 245,455 Below is additional information regarding each of the investments listed in the table above as of March 31, 2024. (1) This investment is comprised of interests in two unrelated LP funds that are structured to provide interest distributions primarily through diversified portfolios of private debt instruments. One LP allows redemption by special consent, while the other does not permit redemption. Income and capital are to be periodically distributed at the discretion of the LPs over an anticipated time frame that spans from three (2) This investment is comprised of one LP fund, which holds long and short publicly traded securities that will passively generate income. Redemptions are permitted with 30 days written notice if outside of a lock-up period. (3) This investment is comprised of interests in multiple unrelated LP funds, each structured to provide capital appreciation through diversified investments in private equity, which can include investments in buyout, venture capital, debt including senior, second lien and mezzanine, distressed debt, collateralized loan obligations and other private equity-oriented LPs. Two of the LPs allow redemption by terms set forth in the LP agreements; the others do not permit redemption. Income and capital are to be periodically distributed at the discretion of the LP over time frames that are anticipated to span up to ten years. (4) This investment is comprised of multiple unrelated LP funds. Two funds seek to obtain superior risk-adjusted absolute returns through a diversified portfolio of debt securities, including bonds, loans and other asset-backed instruments. The remaining funds focus on private middle market company mezzanine and senior secured loans, opportunities across the credit spectrum, mortgage backed-loans, as well as various types of loan-backed investments. One fund allows redemptions at any quarter-end with prior notice requirements of 180 days, while two other funds allow for redemptions with consent of the General Partner. The remaining funds do not allow redemptions. For the funds that do not allow redemptions, income and capital are to be periodically distributed at the discretion of the LP over time frames throughout the remaining life of the funds. (5) This investment is comprised of multiple unrelated LPs/LLCs funds. One fund is an LLC focused on investing in North American consumer products companies, comprised of equity and equity-related securities, as well as debt instruments. A second fund is focused on aircraft investments, along with components and assets related to aircrafts. A third fund is an LLC focused on acquiring ownership stakes in insurance agencies. For all three funds, redemptions are not permitted. The remaining funds are real estate focused LPs, two of which allow for redemption with prior notice. ProAssurance may not sell, transfer or assign its interest in any of the above LPs/LLCs without special consent from the LPs/LLCs. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurement ProAssurance did not have any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. Financial Instruments - Methodologies Other Than Fair Value The following table provides the estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments that, in accordance with GAAP for the type of investment, are measured using a methodology other than fair value. Fair values provided primarily fall within the Level 3 fair value category. March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (In thousands) Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Financial assets: BOLI $ 78,657 $ 78,657 $ 78,205 $ 78,205 Other investments $ 4,064 $ 4,064 $ 3,215 $ 3,215 Other assets $ 34,824 $ 34,824 $ 33,231 $ 33,221 Financial liabilities: Revolving Credit Agreement* $ 125,000 $ 125,000 $ 125,000 $ 125,000 Term Loan* $ 125,000 $ 125,000 $ 125,000 $ 125,000 Contribution Certificates $ 179,865 $ 147,328 $ 179,387 $ 149,782 Other liabilities $ 33,548 $ 33,548 $ 32,043 $ 32,043 * Carrying value excludes unamortized debt issuance costs. The fair value of the BOLI was equal to the cash surrender value associated with the policies on the valuation date. Other investments listed in the table above include FHLB common stock carried at cost and an annuity investment carried at amortized cost. Three of ProAssurance's insurance subsidiaries are members of an FHLB. The estimated fair value of the FHLB common stock was based on the amount the subsidiaries would receive if their memberships were canceled, as the memberships cannot be sold. The fair value of the annuity represents the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted using a rate available in active markets for similarly structured instruments. Other assets and other liabilities primarily consisted of related investment assets and liabilities associated with funded deferred compensation agreements. The fair value of the funded deferred compensation assets was based upon quoted market prices, which is categorized as a Level 1 valuation, and had a fair value of $33.8 million and $32.3 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Other assets also included an unsecured note receivable. The fair value of the note receivable was based on the present value of expected cash flows from the note receivable, discounted at market rates on the valuation date for receivables with similar credit standings and similar payment structures. Other liabilities primarily consisted of liabilities associated with funded deferred compensation agreements. The reported balance is determined based on the amount of elective deferrals and employer contributions adjusted for periodic changes in the fair value of the participant balances based on the performance of the funds selected by the participants and had a fair value of $33.5 million and $32.0 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of the debt, excluding the Contribution Certificates, was estimated based on the present value of expected future cash outflows, discounted at rates available on the valuation date for similar debt issued by entities with a similar credit standing to ProAssurance. The fair value of the Contribution Certificates was estimated based on a binomial option pricing model. The Contribution Certificates were a portion of the purchase consideration for the NORCAL acquisition and were issued to certain NORCAL policyholders in the conversion, and those instruments are an obligation of NORCAL Insurance Company, the successor of NORCAL Mutual Insurance Company (see Note 6 for further discussion of the terms of the Contribution Certificates). |

The greatest and second greatest unrealized loss positions among those securities were approximately $5.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The securities were evaluated for impairment as of March 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, excluding U.S. Government or U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise obligations, there were 2,531 debt securities (65.6% of all available-for-sale fixed maturity securities held) in an unrealized loss position representing 1,319 issuers. The greatest and second greatest unrealized loss positions among those securities were approximately $5.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The securities were evaluated for impairment as of December 31, 2023. Each quarter, ProAssurance performs a detailed analysis for the purpose of assessing whether any of the securities it holds in an unrealized loss position has suffered an impairment due to credit or non-credit factors. A detailed discussion of the factors considered in the assessment is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. Fixed maturity securities held in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2024, excluding asset-backed securities, have paid all scheduled contractual payments and are expected to continue. Expected future cash flows of asset-backed securities, excluding those issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC, held in an unrealized loss position were estimated as part of the March 31, 2024 impairment evaluation using the most recently available six-month historical performance data for the collateral (loans) underlying the security or, if historical data was not available, sector based assumptions, and equaled or exceeded the current amortized cost basis of the security. The following tables present a roll forward of the allowance for expected credit losses on available-for-sale fixed maturities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The carrying value of these investments reflects ProAssurance's total commitments (both funded and unfunded) to the partnerships, less any amortization. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, ProAssurance did not have an ownership percentage greater than 20% in any tax credit partnership interests. Since ProAssurance has the ability to exert influence over the partnerships but does not control them, all are accounted for using the equity method. See further discussion of the entities in which ProAssurance holds passive interests in Note 10. ProAssurance holds interests in investment fund LPs/LLCs and other equity method investments and LPs/LLCs which are not considered to be investment funds. ProAssurance's ownership percentage relative to four of the LPs/LLCs is greater than 25% at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 which is likely to be reduced as the funds mature and other investors participate in the funds; these investments had a carrying value of $24.0 million at March 31, 2024 and $23.0 million at December 31, 2023. ProAssurance's ownership percentage relative to the remaining investments and LPs/LLCs is less than 25%; these interests had a carrying value of $254.4 million at March 31, 2024 and $253.1 million at December 31, 2023. ProAssurance does not have the ability to exert control over any of these funds. Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries included losses from qualified affordable housing project tax credit partnerships and a historic tax credit partnership. Investment results recorded reflect ProAssurance's allocable portion of partnership operating results. Tax credits reduce income tax expense in the period they are utilized. The results recorded and tax credits recognized related to ProAssurance's tax credit partnership investments were as follows: Three Months Ended (In thousands) 2024 2023 Qualified affordable housing project tax credit partnerships Losses recorded $ 103 $ 354 Tax credits recognized $ 8 $ 43 ProAssurance accounts for its tax credit partnership investments under the equity method of accounting and records its allocable portion of the operating losses of the underlying properties based on estimates provided by the partnerships. For the Company's qualified affordable housing project tax credit partnerships, it adjusts its estimates of their allocable portion of operating losses periodically as actual operating results of the underlying properties become available. The primary benefits of tax credits and tax-deductible operating losses from the historic tax credit partnerships are earned in a short period with potential for additional cash flows extending over several years. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company generated a nominal amount of tax credits from its tax credit partnership investments, which were deferred and are expected to be utilized in future periods. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $52.7 million of available tax credit carryforwards generated from its investments in tax credit partnerships which they expect to utilize in future periods. Tax credits provided by the underlying projects of the Company's historic tax credit partnership are typically available in the tax year in which the project is put into active service, whereas the tax credits provided by qualified affordable housing project tax credit partnerships are provided over approximately a ten-year period. Net Investment Gains (Losses) Realized investment gains and losses are recognized on the first-in, first-out basis.

See further discussion on the contingent consideration in Note 2 and Note 6 and discussion on the Company's accounting policy in Note 1 in its December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, ProAssurance recognized $0.9 million of credit-related impairment losses in earnings related to a corporate bond in the consumer sector as well as an asset-backed security. The Company recognized non-credit impairment losses in OCI of $0.6 million related to a corporate bond during the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, ProAssurance recognized credit-related impairment losses in earnings of $2.9 million related to two corporate bonds in the financial sector. The Company did not recognize any non-credit impairment losses in OCI during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes | 3 Months Ended |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes For interim periods, ProAssurance generally utilizes the estimated annual effective tax rate method under which the Company determines its provision (benefit) for income taxes based on the current estimate of its annual effective tax rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, we utilized the estimated annual effective tax rate method. Under this method, items which are unusual, infrequent, or that cannot be reliably estimated are considered in the effective tax rate in the period in which the item is included in income, and are referred to as discrete items. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the provision for income taxes is different from that which would be obtained by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income (loss) before income taxes primarily due to the estimated tax rate differential between the Company's actual effective tax rate and its projected annual effective tax rate as calculated under the estimated annual effective tax rate method and, to a lesser extent, the effects of tax-favored income. In addition, the provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was impacted by the $2.0 million decrease in the contingent consideration liability related to the NORCAL acquisition, all of which was non-taxable. See further discussion on the Company's contingent consideration in Note 2 and Note 6. ProAssurance had a liability for U.S. federal and U.K. income taxes carried as a part of other liabilities of $3.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and $4.0 million as of December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which is included in the total liability for U.S. federal and U.K. income taxes, was $5.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively, which included an accrued liability for interest of approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. |

Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses | 3 Months Ended |

Insurance [Abstract] | |
Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses | Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses The reserve for losses is established based on estimates of individual claims and actuarially determined estimates of future losses based on ProAssurance’s past loss experience, available industry data and projections as to future claims frequency, severity, inflationary trends and settlement patterns. Estimating the reserve, particularly the reserve appropriate for liability exposures, is a complex process. For a high proportion of the risks insured or reinsured by ProAssurance, claims may be resolved over an extended period of time, often five years or more, and may be subject to litigation. Estimating losses requires ProAssurance to make and revise judgments and assessments regarding multiple uncertainties over an extended period of time. As a result, the reserve estimate may vary considerably from the eventual outcome. The assumptions used in establishing ProAssurance’s reserve are regularly reviewed and updated by management as new data becomes available. Changes to estimates of previously established reserves are included in earnings in the period in which the estimate is changed. For additional information regarding ProAssurance's reserve for losses, see Note 1 and Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. Activity in the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses is summarized as follows: (In thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Year Ended December 31, 2023 Balance, beginning of year $ 3,401,281 $ 3,471,147 $ 3,471,147 Less reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses 445,573 431,889 431,889 Net balance, beginning of year 2,955,708 3,039,258 3,039,258 Net losses: Current year 195,110 198,240 794,848 (Favorable) unfavorable development of reserves established in prior years, net (1) (416) 7,056 5,646 Total 194,694 205,296 800,494 Paid related to: Current year (12,867) (11,052) (101,996) Prior years (202,180) (211,916) (782,048) Total paid (215,047) (222,968) (884,044) Net balance, end of period 2,935,355 3,021,586 2,955,708 Plus reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses 447,157 447,693 445,573 Balance, end of period $ 3,382,512 $ 3,469,279 $ 3,401,281 (1) Net prior year reserve development recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 as well as the year ended December 31, 2023 included $1.7 million, $2.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively, of amortization of the purchase accounting fair value adjustment on NORCAL's assumed net reserve and amortization of the negative VOBA associated with NORCAL's DDR reserve which is recorded as a reduction to prior accident year net losses and loss adjustment expenses. Estimating liability reserves is complex and requires the use of many assumptions. As time passes and ultimate losses for prior years are either known or become subject to a more precise estimation, ProAssurance increases or decreases the reserve estimates established in prior periods. The consolidated net favorable prior year reserve development recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily reflected: • Net favorable development recognized in the Specialty P&C segment of $1.7 million related to the amortization of the purchase accounting fair value adjustment on NORCAL's assumed net reserve and amortization of the negative VOBA associated with NORCAL's DDR reserve which is recorded as a reduction to prior accident year net losses and loss adjustment expenses. • Consolidated net favorable loss development recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was partially offset by net unfavorable reserve development of $0.9 million recognized in the Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment and unfavorable reserve development of $0.4 million attributable to the Company's Lloyd’s Syndicates operations in the Specialty P&C segment. The unfavorable development in the Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment includes net favorable development in the workers' compensation business of $0.5 million that was more than offset by net unfavorable development of $1.4 million in the medical professional liability business related to higher than expected claim frequency in on program in which the Company does not participate in the underwriting results. For additional information regarding ProAssurance's prior year reserve development recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2023, see Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in ProAssurance's March 31, 2023 report on Form 10-Q and Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K, respectively. |
Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies | 3 Months Ended |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies ProAssurance is involved in various legal actions related to insurance policies and claims handling including, but not limited to, claims asserted by policyholders. These types of legal actions arise in the Company's ordinary course of business and, in accordance with GAAP for insurance entities, are considered as a part of the Company's loss reserving process, which is described in detail under the heading "Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses" in the Accounting Policies section in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. ProAssurance also has other direct actions against the Company unrelated to its claims activity which are evaluated and accounted for as a part of other liabilities. For these corporate legal actions, the Company evaluates each case separately and establishes what it believes is an appropriate reserve based on GAAP guidance related to contingent liabilities. As of March 31, 2024, there were no material reserves established for corporate legal actions. As a member of Lloyd's, ProAssurance has obligations to Syndicate 1729 including FAL requirements. ProAssurance provides FAL to support its previous participation in underwriting years that remain open at Syndicate 1729, which is comprised of investment securities, primarily short-term investments, and cash and cash equivalents deposited with Lloyd's with a total fair value of approximately $20.2 million at March 31, 2024 (see Note 3). ProAssurance has entered into financial instrument transactions that may present off-balance sheet credit risk or market risk. These transactions include a short-term loan commitment and commitments to provide funding to non-public investment entities. Under the short-term loan commitment, ProAssurance has agreed to advance funds on a 30 day basis to a counterparty provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. As of March 31, 2024, ProAssurance had total funding commitments related to non-public investment entities as well as the short-term loan commitment of approximately $161.9 million which included the amount at risk if the full short-term loan is extended and the counterparties default. However, the credit risk associated with the short-term loan commitment is minimal as the counterparties to the contract are highly rated commercial institutions and to-date have been performing in accordance with their contractual obligations. As such, ProAssurance’s expected credit losses associated with this short-term loan commitment were nominal in amount as of March 31, 2024. ProAssurance entered into a services agreement with a company to provide data analytics services for certain product lines within the Company's MPL book of business. Under the services agreement, the Company has committed to an annual fee of approximately $3.5 million for three years. In addition, the services agreement contains an annual one-year auto-extension feature, in November, unless either party elects to non-renew the services agreement by providing notice at least six-months prior to the end of the contract. In April 2024, ProAssurance provided such notice of termination of the services agreement. As a result, the services agreement will expire on November 30, 2024. ProAssurance incurred operating expenses associated with this services agreement of $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the remaining commitment under this agreement was estimated to be approximately $2.2 million. The purchase consideration in the NORCAL acquisition included contingent consideration. NORCAL policyholders who elected to receive NORCAL stock and tender it to ProAssurance are eligible for a share of contingent consideration in an amount of up to approximately $84 million. As defined in the purchase agreement, the contingent consideration is dependent upon the after-tax development of NORCAL's ultimate net losses for accident years ended on or before December 31, 2020 determined as of December 31, 2023 by a mutually agreed upon independent actuarial consultant. This independent actuarial consultant has until June 30, 2024 to complete their estimate. As of May 1, 2024, the independent actuarial consultant had not completed their estimate. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contingent consideration liability was $6.5 million carried at fair value utilizing a stochastic model. This estimate of fair value does not guarantee nor suggest that contingent consideration will ultimately be paid, and any amounts ultimately paid by the Company may be greater than or less than the $6.5 million current fair value estimate. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's analysis of NORCAL's reserves related to accident years 2020 and prior suggests that no contingent consideration will be due; however, the actual amount due to be paid, if any, will be determined based on analysis to be performed by an independent actuary, as previously discussed. This remaining uncertainty is a significant component in the determination of the fair value of the liability as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. See further discussion around the contingent consideration in Note 2. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives | Derivatives ProAssurance is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business and investment activities. ProAssurance utilizes derivative instruments as part of its risk management strategy to reduce the market risk related to fluctuations in future interest rates associated with a portion of its variable-rate debt. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K for the Company's accounting policy regarding derivative instruments. To manage the Company's exposure to variability in cash flows of forecasted interest payments attributable to variability in the selected base rates on borrowings under both the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan, ProAssurance entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap agreements ("Interest Rate Swaps") on May 2, 2023, each with an effective date of December 29, 2023 and a maturity date of March 31, 2028. As ProAssurance's Interest Rate Swaps are designated and qualify as highly effective cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps are recorded in AOCI, net of tax, and are reclassified into earnings when the hedged cash flows impact earnings. The Interest Rate Swap hedging the variability in cash flows associated with interest payments on the Revolving Credit Agreement will have a constant $125 million notional amount throughout the term of the swap, while the Interest Rate Swap hedging the variability in cash flows associated with interest payments on the Term Loan will have an amortizing $125 million notional amount, which is designed to match the outstanding principal on the Term Loan throughout the term of the swap. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan will accrue interest at a selected base rate, adjusted by a margin. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively fix the base rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan to 3.187% and 3.207%, respectively. The margin component of the interest rate, which can vary from 0% to 2.375%, will remain variable and is based on ProAssurance’s debt to capitalization ratio. As of March 31, 2024, the margin component of the interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan was 2.23% and 2.35%, respectively, based on ProAssurance's debt to capitalization ratio as of December 31, 2023 resulting in a total interest rate of 5.42% and 5.56%, respectively, including the effect of the Interest Rate Swaps on the base rate. Additional information regarding the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan is provided in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. ProAssurance received cash collateral from the counterparty to secure the net present value of future cash flows associated with the Interest Rate Swaps which is reflected as a component of other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Those cash collateral balances were $9.1 million and $4.0 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The following table provides a summary of the volume and fair value position of the Interest Rate Swaps as well as the reporting location in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

See additional information on gains or losses related to the Interest Rate Swaps reported as a component of AOCI in Note 9. As a result of the Interest Rate Swaps, ProAssurance is exposed to risk that the counterparty will fail to meet its contractual obligations. To mitigate this counterparty credit risk, ProAssurance only enters into derivative contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and monitors their creditworthiness. As of March 31, 2024, the counterparty had an investment grade rating of A and has performed in accordance with their contractual obligations. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Shareholders' Equity | Shareholders’ Equity At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, ProAssurance had 100 million shares of authorized common stock and 50 million shares of authorized preferred stock. The Board has the authority to determine provisions for the issuance of preferred shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such shares. ProAssurance declared cash dividends of $0.05 per share during the first quarter of 2023 totaling $2.7 million. In light of the price range in which the Company's stock traded in the second quarter of 2023, the Board decided to suspend payment of a quarterly cash dividend. Instead, the Company used available capital to repurchase shares pursuant to the existing share repurchase authorization. Any decision to pay future cash dividends is subject to the Board’s final determination after a comprehensive review of financial performance, future expectations and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K for additional information. At March 31, 2024, Board authorizations for the repurchase of common shares or the retirement of outstanding debt of $55.9 million remained available for use. ProAssurance did not repurchase any common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The following tables provide a detailed breakout of the components of AOCI and the amounts reclassified from AOCI to net income (loss). The tax effects of all amounts in the tables below, except for an immaterial amount of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities held at the Company's U.K. subsidiary, were computed using the enacted U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21%. OCI included a nominal deferred tax benefit and deferred tax expense of $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

ProAssurance's VIE interests principally consist of interests in LPs/LLCs formed for the purpose of achieving diversified equity and debt returns. ProAssurance's VIE interests, carried as a part of investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries, totaled $252.9 million at March 31, 2024 and $250.4 million at December 31, 2023. ProAssurance does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs and thus is not the primary beneficiary. Investments in entities where ProAssurance holds a greater than minor interest but does not hold a controlling interest are accounted for using the equity method. Therefore, ProAssurance has not consolidated these VIEs. ProAssurance’s involvement with each of these VIEs is limited to its direct ownership interest in the VIE. Except for the funding commitments disclosed in Note 6, ProAssurance has no arrangements with any of these VIEs to provide other financial support to or on behalf of the VIE. At March 31, 2024, ProAssurance’s maximum loss exposure relative to these investments was limited to the carrying value of ProAssurance’s investment in the VIE. ProAssurance is the primary beneficiary of PPM RRG. While there is no direct ownership of PPM RRG by ProAssurance, it manages the business operations of PPM RRG through its management services agreement and has effective control of the PPM RRG's Board of Directors through an irrevocable voting proxy. The management services agreement allows ProAssurance to provide management and oversight services to PPM RRG, which includes the ability to make business decisions impacting the operations of PPM RRG. PPM RRG has a $5 million surplus note to NORCAL which is its only source of capital. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately $135 million and $142 million of ProAssurance's assets, respectively, and approximately $135 million and $142 million of its liabilities, respectively, included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were related to PPM RRG. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Earnings (Loss) Per Share Diluted weighted average shares is calculated as basic weighted average shares plus the effect, calculated using the treasury stock method, of assuming that restricted share units and performance share units have vested. The following table provides a reconciliation between the Company's basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding to its diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding: (In thousands, except per share data) Three Months Ended 2024 2023 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding, basic 51,013 53,987 Dilutive effect of securities: Restricted Share Units 112 103 Performance Share Units 24 27 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding, diluted 51,149 54,117 Effect of dilutive shares on earnings (loss) per share $ — $ — The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2024 excluded approximately 251,000 of common share equivalents issuable under the Company's stock compensation plans as their effect would have been antidilutive. There were no antidilutive common share equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Dilutive common share equivalents are reflected in the earnings (loss) per share calculation while antidilutive common share equivalents are not reflected in the earnings (loss) per share calculation. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, all incremental common share equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because to do so would have been antidilutive. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information ProAssurance's segments are based on the Company's internal management reporting structure for which financial results are regularly evaluated by the Company's CODM to determine resource allocation and assess operating performance. The Company continually assesses its internal management reporting structure and information evaluated by its CODM to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact its segment reporting structure. Segment Reorganization Effective September 2023, ProAssurance elected to discontinue its participation in the results of Syndicate 1729 beginning with the 2024 underwriting year. The results from the Company's participation in Syndicate 1729 from open underwriting years prior to 2024 will continue to earn out pro rata over the entire policy period of the underlying business. Due to the quarter lag, the Company's ceased participation in Syndicate 1729 will begin to be reflected in its results in the second quarter of 2024. During the third quarter of 2023, ProAssurance reorganized the financial results evaluated by its CODM; therefore, ProAssurance changed its operating and reportable segments to align with how the CODM currently oversees the business, allocates resources and evaluates operating performance. As a result, ProAssurance now reports the underwriting results from its participation in Lloyd’s Syndicates in the Specialty P&C segment and the investment results of assets solely allocated to its Lloyd's Syndicate operations and U.K. income taxes in the Corporate segment. All prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. The segment reorganization had no impact on previously reported consolidated financial results. The Company operates in four segments that are organized around the nature of the products and services provided: Specialty P&C, Workers' Compensation Insurance, Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance and Corporate. Additional information regarding ProAssurance's segments is included in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance’s December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. A description of each of ProAssurance's four operating and reportable segments follows. • Specialty P&C primarily includes medical professional liability insurance and medical technology liability insurance. The Specialty P&C segment also includes the underwriting results from ProAssurance's participation in Lloyd's of London Syndicate 1729 and Syndicate 6131. • Workers' Compensation Insurance includes workers' compensation insurance products which are provided primarily to employers with 1,000 or fewer employees. • Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance includes the results (underwriting profit or loss, plus investment results, net of U.S. federal income taxes) of SPCs at Inova Re and Eastern Re, the Company's Cayman Islands SPC operations. • Corporate includes ProAssurance's investment operations excluding those reported in the Company's Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment. In addition, this segment includes corporate expenses, interest expense, U.S. and U.K. income taxes and non-premium revenues generated outside of the Company's insurance entities. The accounting policies of the segments are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance’s December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. ProAssurance evaluates the performance of its Specialty P&C and Workers' Compensation Insurance segments based on before tax underwriting profit or loss. ProAssurance evaluates the performance of its Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment based on operating profit or loss, which includes investment results of investment assets solely allocated to SPC operations, net of U.S. federal income taxes. Performance of the Corporate segment is evaluated based on the contribution made to consolidated after-tax results. ProAssurance accounts for inter-segment transactions as if the transactions were to third parties at current market prices. Assets are not allocated to segments because investments, other than the investments discussed above that are solely allocated to the Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment, and other assets are not managed at the segment level. The tabular information that follows shows the financial results of the Company's reportable segments reconciled to results reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. ProAssurance does not consider goodwill or intangible asset impairments, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration or transaction-related costs for completed business combinations, including any related tax impacts, in assessing the financial performance of its operating and reportable segments, and thus are included in the reconciliation of segment results to consolidated results.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of ProAssurance Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiaries and VIEs in which ProAssurance is the primary beneficiary (ProAssurance, PRA or the Company). See Note 10 for more information on ProAssurance's VIE interests. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. ProAssurance’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained in ProAssurance’s December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, ProAssurance operates in four reportable segments as follows: Specialty P&C, Workers' Compensation Insurance, Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance and Corporate. For more information on the Company's segment reporting, including the nature of products and services provided and financial information by segment, refer to Note 12. |
Accounting Policies | Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures related to these amounts at the date of the financial statements. The Company evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis based on current and historical developments, market conditions, industry trends and other information that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company can make no assurance that actual results will conform to its estimates and assumptions; reported results of operations may be materially affected by changes in these estimates and assumptions. The significant accounting policies followed by ProAssurance in making estimates that materially affect financial reporting are summarized in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance’s December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. |
Accounting Changes Adopted and Accounting Changes Not Yet Adopted | Accounting Changes Adopted The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Accounting Changes Not Yet Adopted Disclosure Improvements (ASU 2023-06) In October 2023, the FASB amended guidance to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics, which will allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC's existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC's regulations. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. ProAssurance is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on the Company's financial statement disclosures. Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07) Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requiring retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements, the FASB amended disclosure requirements for segment reporting by modifying and adding disclosure requirements, primarily related to significant segment expenses which are regularly provided to the Company’s CODM. ProAssurance is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on the Company's financial statement disclosures. Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09) Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024, the FASB amended disclosure requirements to provide greater transparency on income tax disclosures, including the disaggregation of existing disclosures related to the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ProAssurance is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on the Company's financial statement disclosures. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Schedule of Fair Value of Assets | Fair values of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are shown in the following tables. Where applicable, the tables also indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine those fair values. For some assets, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. When this is the case, the asset is categorized based on the level of the most significant input to the fair value measurement. Assessments of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement require judgment and consideration of factors specific to the assets being valued. For more information on the valuation methodologies used regarding securities in the Level 2 and Level 3 categories, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance’s December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K.
