The following schedule reconciles the total amount of losses incurred on short duration contracts per the table above to the amount of total losses incurred as presented in the consolidated statements of operations, excluding the amount for member benefit claims:
| For the Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | |
| Short duration incurred | $482,000 | $360,604 | $252,906 |
| Other lines incurred | 30 | 354 | (284) |

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company experienced favorable prior year development of $11,187, primarily driven by lower-than-expected claims paid development in our commercial lines of business for the 2018 and 2020 accident years.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company experienced favorable prior year development of $858, primarily as a result of lower-than-expected claim severity in our commercial lines of business.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company experienced unfavorable prior year development of $2,606, primarily as a result of higher-than-expected claim severity from business written by a small group of producers of our personal and commercial lines of business.
Management considers the prior year development for each of these years to be insignificant when considered in the context of our annual earned premiums, net as well as our net losses and loss adjustment expenses and member benefit claims expenses. We analyze our development on a quarterly basis and given the short duration nature of our products, favorable or adverse development emerges quickly and allows for timely reserve strengthening, if necessary, or modifications to our product pricing or offerings. The favorable prior year development of $11,187 in the year ended December 31, 2023 represented 8.6% of our insurance business income before taxes of $129,816 and 3.8% of the opening net liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses of $298,057, as of January 1, 2023. The favorable prior year development of $858 in the year ended December 31, 2022 represented 1.3% of our insurance business income before taxes of $68,150, and 0.6% of the opening net liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses of $154,412, as of January 1, 2022. The unfavorable prior year development of $2,606 in 2021 represented 3.7% of pretax income of $69,857 and 3.1% of the opening net liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses of $83,945, as of January 1, 2021.
Based upon our internal analysis and our review of the statement of actuarial opinions provided by our actuarial consultants, we believe that the amounts recorded for policy liabilities and unpaid claims reasonably represent the amount necessary to pay all claims and related expenses which may arise from incidents that have occurred as of the balance sheet date.
Incurred and Paid Development
The following table presents information about incurred and paid loss development and average claim duration as of December 31, 2023, net of reinsurance, as well as cumulative claim frequency and the total of IBNR liabilities plus expected development on reported claims included within the net incurred claims amounts. The cumulative number of reported claims represents open claims, claims closed with payment, and claims closed without payment. It does not include an estimated count of unreported claims. The number of claims is measured by claim event. The Company considers a claim that does not result in a liability as a claim closed without payment.
