Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Description of Business: The term “Insurance Subsidiaries,” as used throughout this document, refers to Protective Insurance Company, Protective Specialty Insurance Company, Sagamore Insurance Company and B&L Insurance, Ltd. Basis of Presentation: Investments : The Company accounts for investments in limited partnerships using the equity method of accounting, which requires an investor in a limited partnership to record its proportionate share of the limited partnership's net income. To the extent the limited partnerships include both realized and unrealized investment gains or losses in the determination of net income or loss, then the Company would also recognize, through its condensed consolidated statements of operations, its proportionate share of the investee's unrealized, as well as realized, investment gains or losses within net unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities and limited partnership investments. Short-term and other investments are carried at cost, which approximates their fair values. Fixed income securities are considered to be available-for-sale. The related unrealized net gains or losses (net of applicable tax effects) on fixed income securities are reflected directly in shareholders' equity. Included within available-for-sale fixed income securities are convertible debt securities. A portion of the changes in the fair values of convertible debt securities is reflected as a component of net realized gains on investments, excluding impairment losses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses on disposals of fixed income securities are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on fixed income securities are determined by the specific identification of the cost of investments sold and are included in net realized gains on investments, excluding impairment losses. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that requires equity securities to be recorded at fair value, with unrealized net gains or losses reflected as a component of net unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities and limited partnership investments within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses on disposals of equity securities are recorded on the trade date and included in net realized gains on investments, excluding impairment losses. Prior to adoption of the new accounting guidance, unrealized gains and losses related to equity securities were reflected directly in shareholders’ equity unless a decline in value was determined to be other-than-temporary, in which case the loss was charged to income. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") other-than-temporary impairment guidance, if a fixed income security is in an unrealized loss position and the Company has the intent to sell the fixed income security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will have to sell the fixed income security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary and is recorded to other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For impaired fixed income securities that the Company does not intend to sell or in cases where it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell such securities, but the Company expects that it will not fully recover the amortized cost basis, the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the non-credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment is recognized directly in shareholders' equity. The credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment is determined by comparing the net present value of projected future cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the fixed income security. The net present value is calculated by discounting the Company's best estimate of projected future cash flows at the appropriate effective interest rate. Recognition of Revenue and Costs: Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), or ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02 superseded the prior lease guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis. Concurrently, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The guidance provides for a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative periods presented in the financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, or ASU 2018-11, which provided adopters an additional transition method by allowing entities to initially apply ASU 2016-02, and subsequent related standards, at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2019 utilizing the transition method allowed per ASU 2018-11, and accordingly, comparative period financial information was not adjusted for the effects of the new guidance. No cumulative-effect adjustment was required to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date. The Company's adoption of the new standard did not have any impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows; however, the impact of adopting the new guidance resulted in a right-of-use asset and a lease liability being recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019, each of approximately $210, which are included within other assets and accounts payable and other liabilities. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). This ASU allows for the option to reclassify, from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings, stranded tax effects resulting from the reduced federal corporate income tax rate in the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was enacted on December 22, 2017. The legislation included a reduction to the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. The amount of the reclassification was the difference between the historical corporate income tax rate and the new 21 percent corporate income tax rate. The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to reclassify the tax effects on fixed income investments of $117 from other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings within the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, Codification Improvements. This update provides clarification, corrects errors in and makes minor improvements to various ASC topics. Many of the amendments in this update have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and some amendments in this update do not require transition guidance and were effective upon issuance of this update. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. These updates provide an option to irrevocably elect to measure certain individual financial assets at fair value instead of amortized cost and provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on certain aspects of the previously issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, or ASU 2016-13, and have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 introduces a current expected credit loss (CECL) model for measuring expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments held at the reporting date requiring significant judgment in application based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts, but is not prescriptive about certain aspects of estimating expected losses. This update will have an impact on our available-for-sale fixed income portfolio, recoverable reinsurance balances, commercial mortgage loans and accounts receivable balances. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss model for measuring expected credit losses, requires expected losses on available-for-sale fixed income securities to be recognized through an allowance for credit losses through which amounts can be reversed, rather than through an irreversible write-down of the cost, and provides for additional disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance will be adopted using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption and a prospective transition approach for fixed income securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the adoption date. The effect of a prospective transition approach is to maintain the same amortized cost basis before and after the date of adoption. The Company is currently gathering data and evaluating the effects the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements. |

Debt [Abstract] | |
Debt | (6) Debt: On August 9, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement providing a revolving credit facility with a $40,000 limit, with the option for up to an additional $35,000 in incremental loans at the discretion of the lenders. This credit agreement has an expiration date of August 9, 2022. Interest on this revolving credit facility is referenced to the London Interbank Offered Rate and can be fixed for periods of up to one year at the Company's option. Outstanding drawings on this revolving credit facility were $20,000 as of September 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, the effective interest rate was 3.14%, and the Company had $20,000 remaining under the revolving credit facility. The current outstanding borrowings were used to repay the Company's previous line of credit. The Company's revolving credit facility has two financial covenants, each of which were met as of September 30, 2019. These covenants require the Company to have a minimum U.S. generally accepted accounting principles net worth and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 0.35 to 1.00. |

Taxes [Abstract] | |
Taxes | (7) Taxes: The Company uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method for calculating its tax provision in interim periods, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the effective tax rate expected for the full year based on projected annual taxable income (loss). The effective tax rate can fluctuate throughout the year because estimates used in the quarterly tax provision are updated as more information becomes available throughout the year. The effective federal tax rate on consolidated loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 30.6% compared to 20.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The effective federal tax rate on consolidated income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 19.6% compared to 22.1% on consolidated loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The lower pre-tax loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as well as the relatively low amount of pre-tax income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 make these interim period effective tax rates less comparable year over year. The difference in the effective federal income tax rate from the normal statutory rate was primarily related to the effects of tax-exempt investment income and the dividends received deduction. As of September 30, 2019, the Company's calendar years 2017 and 2016 r |

Fair Value [Abstract] | |
Fair Value | (8) Fair Value: Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The following tables summarize fair value measurements by level for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis: As of September 30, 2019: Description Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fixed income securities: Agency collateralized mortgage obligations $ 14,426 $ – $ 14,426 $ – Agency mortgage-backed securities 51,246 – 51,246 – Asset-backed securities 99,295 – 99,295 – Bank loans 14,625 – 14,625 – Certificates of deposit 2,835 2,835 – – Collateralized mortgage obligations 5,718 – 5,718 – Corporate securities 262,656 – 262,656 – Options embedded in convertible securities 4,567 – 4,567 – Mortgage-backed securities 47,381 – 47,381 – Municipal obligations 32,986 – 32,986 – Non-U.S. government obligations 24,068 – 24,068 – U.S. government obligations 198,038 – 198,038 – Total fixed income securities 757,841 2,835 755,006 – Equity securities: Consumer 15,387 15,387 – – Energy 3,010 3,010 – – Financial 29,829 29,829 – – Industrial 4,488 4,488 – – Technology 2,609 2,609 – – Funds (e.g. mutual funds, closed end funds, ETFs) 9,438 9,438 – – Other 8,076 8,076 – – Total equity securities 72,837 72,837 – – Short-term investments 1,000 1,000 – – Cash equivalents 78,072 – 78,072 – Total $ 909,750 $ 76,672 $ 833,078 $ – As of December 31, 2018: Description Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fixed income securities: Agency collateralized mortgage obligations $ 10,687 $ – $ 10,687 $ – Agency mortgage-backed securities 37,385 – 37,385 – Asset-backed securities 64,422 – 64,422 – Bank loans 9,750 – 9,750 – Certificates of deposit 2,835 2,835 – – Collateralized mortgage obligations 5,423 – 5,423 – Corporate securities 186,651 – 186,651 – Options embedded in convertible securities 3,799 – 3,799 – Mortgage-backed securities 38,540 – 38,540 – Municipal obligations 29,155 – 29,155 – Non-U.S. government obligations 25,180 – 25,180 – U.S. government obligations 178,818 – 178,818 – Total fixed income securities 592,645 2,835 589,810 – Equity securities: Consumer 17,945 17,945 – – Energy 3,179 3,179 – – Financial 25,253 25,253 – – Industrial 6,920 6,920 – – Technology 2,303 2,303 – – Funds (e.g. mutual funds, closed end funds, ETFs) 5,489 5,489 – – Other 5,333 5,333 – – Total equity securities 66,422 66,422 – – Short-term investments 1,000 1,000 – – Cash equivalents 156,855 – 156,855 – Total $ 816,922 $ 70,257 $ 746,665 $ – Level inputs, as defined by the FASB guidance, are as follows: Level Input: Input Definition: Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company did not have any Level 3 assets at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. Level 3 assets, when present, are valued using various unobservable inputs, including extrapolated data, proprietary models and indicative quotes. Quoted market prices are obtained whenever possible. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using broker/dealer quotes for specific securities. These techniques are significantly affected by the Company's assumptions, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. Potential taxes and other transaction costs have not been considered in estimating fair values. Transfers between levels, if any, are recorded as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no significant transfers of assets between Level 1 and Level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. In addition to the preceding disclosures on assets recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, FASB guidance also requires the disclosure of fair values for certain other financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, whether or not such values are recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Non-financial instruments such as real estate, property and equipment, other assets, deferred income taxes and intangible assets, and certain financial instruments such as policy reserve liabilities are excluded from the fair value disclosures. Therefore, the fair value amounts cannot be aggregated to determine the underlying economic value of the Company. The following methods, assumptions and inputs were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: Limited partnerships: The Company accounts for investments in limited partnerships using the equity method of accounting, which requires an investor in a limited partnership to carry the investment at its proportionate share of the limited partnership's equity. The underlying assets of the Company's investments in limited partnerships are carried primarily at fair value; therefore, the Company's carrying value of limited partnerships approximates fair value. As these investments are not actively traded and the corresponding inputs are based on data provided by the investees, they are classified as Level 3. Commercial mortgage loans: Commercial mortgage loans are carried primarily at amortized cost along with a valuation allowance for losses when necessary. These investments represent interests in commercial mortgage loans originated and serviced by a third party of which the Company shares, on a pro-rata basis, in all related cash flows of the underlying mortgage loans. The fair value of the Company’s investment in these commercial mortgage loans is based on expected future cash flows discounted at the current interest rate for origination of similar quality loans, adjusted for specific loan risk. These investments are classified as Level 3. Short-term borrowings: The fair value of the Company's short-term borrowings is based on quoted market prices for the same or similar debt, or, if no quoted market prices are available, on the current market interest rates available to the Company for debt of similar terms and remaining maturities. A summary of the carrying value and fair value by level of financial instruments not recorded at fair value on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is as follows: Carrying Fair Value Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total September 30, 2019 Assets: Limited partnerships $ 22,645 $ – $ – $ 22,645 $ 22,645 Commercial mortgage loans 9,418 – – 9,418 9,418 Liabilities: Short-term borrowings 20,000 – 20,000 – 20,000 December 31, 2018 Assets: Limited partnerships $ 55,044 $ – $ – $ 55,044 $ 55,044 Commercial mortgage loans 6,672 – – 6,672 6,672 Liabilities: Short-term borrowings 20,000 – 20,000 – 20,000 |

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | (9) Stock-Based Compensation: The Company issues shares of restricted Class B Common Stock to the Company's outside directors as part of their annual retainer compensation. The shares are distributed to the outside directors on the vesting date, which, with the exception of pro-rated annual retainers granted to outside directors, is one year following the date of grant. On May 17, 2019, the Company granted shares of restricted Class B Common Stock in connection with the election of a new outside director, reflecting such director’s pro-rated annual retainer compensation, which shares will vest and be distributed on May 7, 2020. Additionally, effective May 22, 2019, John D. Nichols, Jr. ceased serving as the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer and principal executive officer, but continued to serve as Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors. On May 22, 2019, the Company granted shares of restricted Class B Common Stock to Mr. Nichols in connection with this transition, reflecting his pro-rated annual retainer compensation, which shares will also vest and be distributed on May 7, 2020. The table below provides detail of the restricted stock issuances to directors for 2018 and 2019: Grant Date Number of Shares Issued Vesting Date Service Period Grant Date Fair Value Per Share 5/9/2017 18,183 5/9/2018 7/1/2017 - 6/30/2018 $ 24.20 8/31/2017 1,257 5/9/2018 8/31/2017 - 6/30/2018 $ 21.90 2/9/2018 408 5/9/2018 2/9/2018 - 6/30/2018 $ 24.20 5/8/2018 19,085 5/8/2019 7/1/2018 - 6/30/2019 $ 23.05 5/7/2019 29,536 5/7/2020 7/1/2019 - 6/30/2020 $ 16.25 5/17/2019 3,591 5/7/2020 7/1/2019 - 6/30/2020 $ 16.25 5/22/2019 3,541 5/7/2020 7/1/2019 - 6/30/2020 $ 16.25 Compensation expense related to the above stock grants is recognized over the period in which the directors render services. In May 2017, the Company's Compensation Committee granted equity-based awards pursuant to the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Long-Term Incentive Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Certain participants under the Long-Term Incentive Plan were granted Value Creation Incentive Plan awards (the "2017 VCIP Awards"). The 2017 VCIP Awards are performance-based equity awards that will be earned based on the Company's cumulative operating income over a three-year performance period from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019 relative to a cumulative operating income goal for the period set by the Compensation Committee in March 2017. For the purpose of the 2017 VCIP Awards, cumulative operating income is equal to income before taxes excluding net realized gains (losses) on investments. Any 2017 VCIP Awards that are earned will be paid in unrestricted shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock at the end of the three-year performance period, but no later than March 15, 2020. No shares are eligible to be issued under the 2017 VCIP Awards as of September 30, 2019. In March 2018, the Company's Compensation Committee granted equity-based awards pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan. Certain participants under the Long-Term Incentive Plan were granted equity awards (the "2018 LTIP Awards"), with the number of shares of Class B Common Stock earned pursuant to such awards determined by applying a performance matrix consisting of a measurement of the combined results of the Company's 2018 growth in gross premiums earned and the Company's 2018 combined ratio. The combined ratio is calculated as a ratio of (A) losses and loss expenses incurred, plus other operating expenses, less commission and other income to (B) net premiums earned. No 2018 LTIP Awards were earned based on the Company's performance in 2018, and therefore no shares were issued pursuant to the 2018 LTIP Awards. I On November 13, 2018, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its Interim Chief Executive Officer, John D. Nichols, Jr. Pursuant to the terms of this employment agreement, on November 13, 2018, Mr. Nichols was granted 85,000 restricted shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock (the "Nichols Stock Grant"), of which 42,500 shares vested as of October 17, 2019; 21,250 shares will vest as of October 17, 2020, and 21,250 shares will vest as of October 17, 2021. The Company recorded $844 of expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the Nichols Stock Grant. In March 2019, the Company's Compensation Committee granted equity-based awards pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan. Certain participants under the Long-Term Incentive Plan were granted equity awards (the "2019 LTIP Awards"), with the number of shares of Class B Common Stock earned pursuant to such awards determined by applying a performance matrix consisting of a corporate performance component as well as a personal performance component. The corporate performance component of the 2019 LTIP Awards will be determined based on the Company's achievement of 2019 underwriting income compared to the plan target. The Company's underwriting income will be calculated as income (loss) before federal income tax expense (benefit), less net realized gains (losses) on investments, less net unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities and limited partnerships, less net investment income. The personal performance component of the 2019 LTIP Awards will be determined based on the achievement of personal goals that align with departmental and corporate objectives for 2019. Any 2019 LTIP Awards earned will be paid in shares of restricted Class B Common Stock in early 2020. One-third of such shares will vest annually over the three-year period beginning one year from the date of issue. The Company recorded $107 of expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the 2019 LTIP Awards. On May 22, 2019, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its new Chief Executive Officer, Jeremy D. Edgecliffe-Johnson. Pursuant to the terms of this employment agreement, on May 22, 2019, Mr. Edgecliffe-Johnson was granted 70,000 restricted shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock (the "Edgecliffe-Johnson Stock Grant"), of which 35,000 shares will vest as of June 1, 2022, 21,000 shares will vest as of June 1, 2023, and 14,000 shares will vest as of June 1, 2024. The Company recorded $122 of expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the Edgecliffe-Johnson Stock Grant. |

Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies | (10) Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies: In the ordinary, regular and routine course of their business, the Company and its Insurance Subsidiaries are frequently involved in various matters of litigation relating principally to claims for insurance coverage provided. No currently pending matter is deemed by management to be material to the Company, other than as noted below. Personnel Staffing Group Litigation In July 2019, Protective Insurance Company (“Protective”) was named as a defendant in an action brought by a former insured, Personnel Staffing Group d/b/a MVP Staffing (“PSG”), in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California alleging that Protective had breached its workers’ compensation insurance policy and had breached the duties of good faith and fair dealing. Protective provided workers’ compensation insurance to PSG from January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, which was subject to a $500 per claim deductible to be paid by PSG. No specific damages were included in the complaint. In August 2019, Protective filed a motion to dismiss or stay the action, which is pending. The Company intends to vigorously defend these claims; however, the ultimate outcome cannot be presently determined. In August 2019, Protective filed a lawsuit against PSG in Marion County Superior Court, in Indianapolis, Indiana alleging breach of contract, breach of the parties' collateral agreement, breach of the parties' indemnity agreement, and seeking a declaratory judgment regarding PSG’s ongoing obligation to fund its ongoing claim deductible obligations and adequately collateralize Protective’s current and ongoing claims exposure pursuant to terms of the parties' agreements. In October 2019, Protective amended the complaint to include allegations of misrepresentation as to source of coverage, negligent misrepresentation, fraud and racketeering and seeking injunctive relief. Pursuant to the terms of the workers’ compensation policies, Protective has a duty to adjust and pay claims arising under the policies regardless of whether PSG makes payments to Protective for deductible obligations under the policies. Under its contractual obligations to Protective, PSG is required to maintain a “loss fund” for the payment of claims, the balance of which is to remain at or above $4,000; in addition, PSG is required to provide collateral in an amount equal to 110% of Protective’s current open case reserves on workers’ compensation claims arising under the policies. As of September 30, 2019, Protective had approximately $6,800 in deductible receivables on claims arising under PSG’s workers’ compensation policies and had exhausted all collateral provided by PSG. Protective continues to pay claims settlements under the policies without reimbursement from PSG. For the past six months, the average monthly deductible invoices have been $1,600. PSG’s estimated ultimate obligation under the agreements is approximately $43,000 as of September 30, 2019 (inclusive of the $6,800 in deductible receivables noted above). At September 30, 2019, based on the Company's assessment that PSG will continue to operate as a business and that the terms of the agreement with PSG will be legally enforceable, the Company believes that it will fully collect all current and future amounts due from PSG relating to this matter and, therefore, has not recorded a provision for any potential loss. In the event that PSG files bankruptcy or that the agreements are found to be unenforceable, Protective will likely incur a charge up to the then-estimated amount of PSG’s ultimate obligation. The Company will also include this matter when assessing the impact of adopting the accounting guidance under the new credit losses standard discussed in Note 1. |

Description of Business | Description of Business: The term “Insurance Subsidiaries,” as used throughout this document, refers to Protective Insurance Company, Protective Specialty Insurance Company, Sagamore Insurance Company and B&L Insurance, Ltd. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation: |
Investments | Investments : The Company accounts for investments in limited partnerships using the equity method of accounting, which requires an investor in a limited partnership to record its proportionate share of the limited partnership's net income. To the extent the limited partnerships include both realized and unrealized investment gains or losses in the determination of net income or loss, then the Company would also recognize, through its condensed consolidated statements of operations, its proportionate share of the investee's unrealized, as well as realized, investment gains or losses within net unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities and limited partnership investments. Short-term and other investments are carried at cost, which approximates their fair values. Fixed income securities are considered to be available-for-sale. The related unrealized net gains or losses (net of applicable tax effects) on fixed income securities are reflected directly in shareholders' equity. Included within available-for-sale fixed income securities are convertible debt securities. A portion of the changes in the fair values of convertible debt securities is reflected as a component of net realized gains on investments, excluding impairment losses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses on disposals of fixed income securities are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on fixed income securities are determined by the specific identification of the cost of investments sold and are included in net realized gains on investments, excluding impairment losses. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that requires equity securities to be recorded at fair value, with unrealized net gains or losses reflected as a component of net unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities and limited partnership investments within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses on disposals of equity securities are recorded on the trade date and included in net realized gains on investments, excluding impairment losses. Prior to adoption of the new accounting guidance, unrealized gains and losses related to equity securities were reflected directly in shareholders’ equity unless a decline in value was determined to be other-than-temporary, in which case the loss was charged to income. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") other-than-temporary impairment guidance, if a fixed income security is in an unrealized loss position and the Company has the intent to sell the fixed income security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will have to sell the fixed income security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary and is recorded to other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For impaired fixed income securities that the Company does not intend to sell or in cases where it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell such securities, but the Company expects that it will not fully recover the amortized cost basis, the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the non-credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment is recognized directly in shareholders' equity. The credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment is determined by comparing the net present value of projected future cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the fixed income security. The net present value is calculated by discounting the Company's best estimate of projected future cash flows at the appropriate effective interest rate. |
Recognition of Revenue and Costs | Recognition of Revenue and Costs: |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), or ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02 superseded the prior lease guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis. Concurrently, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The guidance provides for a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative periods presented in the financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, or ASU 2018-11, which provided adopters an additional transition method by allowing entities to initially apply ASU 2016-02, and subsequent related standards, at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2019 utilizing the transition method allowed per ASU 2018-11, and accordingly, comparative period financial information was not adjusted for the effects of the new guidance. No cumulative-effect adjustment was required to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date. The Company's adoption of the new standard did not have any impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows; however, the impact of adopting the new guidance resulted in a right-of-use asset and a lease liability being recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019, each of approximately $210, which are included within other assets and accounts payable and other liabilities. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). This ASU allows for the option to reclassify, from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings, stranded tax effects resulting from the reduced federal corporate income tax rate in the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was enacted on December 22, 2017. The legislation included a reduction to the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. The amount of the reclassification was the difference between the historical corporate income tax rate and the new 21 percent corporate income tax rate. The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to reclassify the tax effects on fixed income investments of $117 from other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings within the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, Codification Improvements. This update provides clarification, corrects errors in and makes minor improvements to various ASC topics. Many of the amendments in this update have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and some amendments in this update do not require transition guidance and were effective upon issuance of this update. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. These updates provide an option to irrevocably elect to measure certain individual financial assets at fair value instead of amortized cost and provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on certain aspects of the previously issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, or ASU 2016-13, and have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 introduces a current expected credit loss (CECL) model for measuring expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments held at the reporting date requiring significant judgment in application based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts, but is not prescriptive about certain aspects of estimating expected losses. This update will have an impact on our available-for-sale fixed income portfolio, recoverable reinsurance balances, commercial mortgage loans and accounts receivable balances. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss model for measuring expected credit losses, requires expected losses on available-for-sale fixed income securities to be recognized through an allowance for credit losses through which amounts can be reversed, rather than through an irreversible write-down of the cost, and provides for additional disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance will be adopted using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption and a prospective transition approach for fixed income securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the adoption date. The effect of a prospective transition approach is to maintain the same amortized cost basis before and after the date of adoption. The Company is currently gathering data and evaluating the effects the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
