James River is a Be1muda-based holding company that owns and operates a group of specialty insurance and reinsurance companies. The Company's lru·gest segment, Excess and Surplus ("E&S") Lines insurance, focuses on insureds that generally cannot purchase insurance from standru·d lines insurers due to perceived 1isks related to their businesses. Included in this E&S Lines segment is the Company's Commercial Auto Division.

 

In 2014, James River ramped up its Commercial Auto Division by unde1w1iting a new type of insurance policy that covered Rasier LLC ("Rasier"), a subsidiruy of the 1ide-shruing company Uber Technologies, Inc. (together with Rasier, "Uber"). Until that time, ride-sharing insurance had only covered claims incurred while ride-sharing drivers were transporting passengers for Uber, thus leaving a gap in coverage for accidents caused by ride-sharing drivers while they were not providing transportation services for hire but were still logged on to the Uber application and available to accept a ride.

 

As a result of its arrangement with James River, Uber announced that it had become the first and only ride-sharing company to have insurance policies in place that covered this gap between personal and connercial insurance policies. According to Uber, these new James River policies would give contingent coverage for a driver's liability that would meet the highest requirement of any state in the United States. Uber was the Company's largest contract and accounted for more than 25% of the Company's premiums in 2019.

 

According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) James River had not adequately reserved for its Uber policies; (2) James River was using an incorrect methodology for setting reserves that materially understated the Company’s true exposure to Uber claims; (3) as a result, James River was forced to increase its unfavorable reserves in subsequent quarters even after cancelling the Uber policies; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about James River’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
