Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Accounting Policies | Accounting Policies Organization James River Group Holdings, Ltd. (referred to as “JRG Holdings” or, with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is an exempted holding company registered in Bermuda, organized for the purpose of acquiring and managing insurance and reinsurance entities. The Company owns five insurance companies based in the United States (“U.S.”) focused on specialty insurance niches and two Bermuda-based reinsurance companies as described below: • James River Group Holdings UK Limited (“James River UK”) is an insurance holding company formed in 2015 in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). JRG Holdings contributed James River Group, Inc. (“James River Group”), a U.S. insurance holding company, to James River UK in 2015. • James River Group is a Delaware domiciled insurance holding company formed in 2002 which owns all of the Company’s U.S.-based subsidiaries, either directly or indirectly through one of its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries. James River Group oversees the Company’s U.S. insurance operations and maintains all of the outstanding debt in the U.S. • James River Insurance Company is an Ohio domiciled excess and surplus lines insurance company that, with its wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, James River Casualty Company, a Virginia domiciled company, is authorized to write business in every state and the District of Columbia. • Falls Lake National Insurance Company (“Falls Lake National”) is an Ohio domiciled insurance company which wholly owns Stonewood Insurance Company (“Stonewood Insurance”), a North Carolina domiciled company, and Falls Lake Fire and Casualty Company, a California domiciled company. Falls Lake National and its subsidiaries primarily write specialty admitted fronting and program business and individual risk workers' compensation insurance. • JRG Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“JRG Re”) was formed in 2007 and commenced operations in 2008. JRG Re, a Bermuda domiciled reinsurer, primarily provides non-catastrophe casualty reinsurance to U.S. third parties and, through December 31, 2017, to the Company’s U.S.-based insurance subsidiaries. • Carolina Re Ltd (“Carolina Re”) was formed in 2018 and as of January 1, 2018 provides reinsurance to the Company’s U.S.-based insurance subsidiaries. Carolina Re was also the cedent on an aggregate stop loss reinsurance treaty with JRG Re through December 31, 2021. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its subsidiaries from their respective dates of inception or acquisition, as applicable. Readers are urged to review the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a more complete description of the Company’s business and accounting policies. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Estimates and Assumptions Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Those estimates are inherently subject to change, and actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. Variable Interest Entities Entities that do not have sufficient equity at risk to allow the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support or in which the equity investors, as a group, do not have the characteristic of a controlling financial interest are referred to as variable interest entities (“VIE”). A VIE is consolidated by the variable interest holder that is determined to have the controlling financial interest (primary beneficiary) as a result of having both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of an entity subject to consolidation based on a qualitative assessment of the VIE’s capital structure, contractual terms, nature of the VIE’s operations and purpose, and the Company’s relative exposure to the related risks of the VIE on the date it becomes initially involved in the VIE. The Company reassesses its VIE determination with respect to an entity on an ongoing basis. The Company holds interests in VIEs through certain equity method investments included in “other invested assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has determined that it should not consolidate any of the VIEs as it is not the primary beneficiary in any of the relationships. Although the investments resulted in the Company holding variable interests in the entities, they did not empower the Company to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities. The Company’s investments related to these VIEs totaled $28.6 million and $26.9 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, representing the Company’s maximum exposure to loss. Income Tax Expense Our effective tax rate fluctuates from period to period based on the relative mix of income reported by country and the respective tax rates imposed by each tax jurisdiction. For U.S.-sourced income, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax expense differs from the amounts computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to income before taxes due primarily to interest income on tax-advantaged state and municipal securities, dividends received income, and excess tax benefits on share based compensation. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our U.S. federal income tax expense was 24.9% of the income before taxes. The effective rate exceeded the 21.0% U.S. statutory rate due to a projected annual loss in Bermuda that does not provide a tax benefit and certain discreet items including excess tax expenses associated with vested restricted share units (“RSUs”) in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company had a pre-tax loss of $108.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and recorded a U.S. federal income tax benefit of $25.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our U.S. federal income tax benefit was 23.7% of the loss before taxes. The pre-tax loss was largely driven by the $166.7 million of net adverse reserve development on prior accident years, including $161.2 million of net adverse development from the Excess and Surplus Lines segment that was primarily related to a former commercial auto account. Adopted Accounting Standards In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock and became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted the new standard concurrent with the issuance of our Series A preferred shares on March 1, 2022. Under ASU 2020-06, embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. The new guidance also requires entities to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and generally requires them to include the effect of potential share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares. Adoption of the new standard did not materially impact our financial position, results of operations, or earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2022. |

None of the fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses has ever missed, or been delinquent on, a scheduled principal or interest payment. At June 30, 2022, 99.6% of the Company’s fixed maturity security portfolio was rated “BBB-” or better (“investment grade”) by Standard & Poor’s or received an equivalent rating from another nationally recognized rating agency. Fixed maturity securities with ratings below investment grade by Standard & Poor’s or another nationally recognized rating agency at June 30, 2022 had an aggregate fair value of $6.7 million and an aggregate net unrealized loss of $237,000. The Company reviews its available-for-sale fixed maturities to determine whether unrealized losses are due to credit-related factors. An allowance for credit losses is established for any credit-related impairments, limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recognized in earnings and included in n et realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments . Unrealized losses that are not credit-related are recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company considers the extent to which fair value is below amortized cost in determining whether a credit-related loss exists. The Company also considers the credit quality rating of the security, with a special emphasis on securities downgraded below investment grade. A comparison is made between the present value of expected future cash flows for a security and its amortized cost. If the present value of future expected cash flows is less than amortized cost, a credit loss is presumed to exist and an allowance for credit losses is established. Management may conclude that a qualitative analysis is sufficient to support its conclusion that the present value of the expected cash flows equals or exceeds a security’s amortized cost. As a result of this review, management concluded that there were no credit-related impairments of fixed maturity securities at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, or June 30, 2021. Management does not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position, and it is not “more likely than not” that the Company will be required to sell these securities before a recovery in their value to their amortized cost basis occurs. Bank loan participations are measured at fair value pursuant to the Company's election of the fair value option, and changes in unrealized gains and losses in bank loan participations are reported in our income statement as net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Applying the fair value option to the bank loan portfolio increases volatility in the Company's financial statements, but management believes it is less subjective and less burdensome to implement and maintain than the requirements of ASU 2016-13. At June 30, 2022, the Company's bank loan portfolio had an aggregate fair value of $159.9 million and unpaid principal of $175.8 million. Investment income on bank loan participations included in net investment income was $2.7 million and $5.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively ($2.5 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively). Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments includes losses of $9.9 million and $12.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively (gains of $1.9 million and $5.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively) . For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 , management concluded that none of the unrealized losses were due to credit-related impairments. Losses due to credit-related impairments are determined based upon consultations and advice from the Company's specialized investment manager and consideration of any adverse situations that could affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of underlying collateral, and other relevant factors. Bank loan participations generally provide a higher yield than our portfolio of fixed maturities and have a credit rating that is below investment grade (i.e. below “BBB-” for Standard & Poor’s) at the date of purchase. These bank loans are primarily senior, secured floating-rate debt rated “BB”, “B”, or “CCC” by Standard & Poor’s or an equivalent rating from another nationally recognized rating agency. These bank loans include assignments of, and participations in, performing and non-performing senior corporate debt generally acquired through primary bank syndications and in secondary markets. Bank loans consist of, but are not limited to, term loans, the funded and unfunded portions of revolving credit loans, and other similar loans and investments. Management believed that it was probable at the time that these loans were acquired that the Company would be able to collect all contractually required payments receivable. Interest income on bank loan participations is accrued on the unpaid principal balance, and discounts and premiums on bank loan participations are amortized to income using the interest method. Generally, the accrual of interest on a bank loan participation is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest. A bank loan participation may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. Generally, bank loan participations are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is reported as investment income. There were no bank loans on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. The Company’s net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are summarized as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2022 2021 2022 2021 (in thousands) Fixed maturity securities: Gross realized gains $ 1,332 $ 135 $ 1,698 $ 1,191 Gross realized losses (278) (2) (442) (23) 1,054 133 1,256 1,168 Bank loan participations: Gross realized gains 18 120 113 318 Gross realized losses (122) (523) (306) (783) Changes in fair values of bank loan participations (9,791) 2,340 (11,800) 6,250 (9,895) 1,937 (11,993) 5,785 Equity securities: Gross realized gains 5 82 29 111 Gross realized losses — (94) (381) (495) Changes in fair values of equity securities (8,250) 1,415 (10,992) 3,160 (8,245) 1,403 (11,344) 2,776 Short-term investments and other: Gross realized gains — — — 5 Gross realized losses (24) — (39) — Changes in fair values of short-term investments and other — 10 — 21 (24) 10 (39) 26 Total $ (17,110) $ 3,483 $ (22,120) $ 9,755 Realized investment gains or losses are determined on a specific identification basis. The Company invests selectively in private debt and equity opportunities. These investments, which together comprise the Company’s other invested assets, are primarily focused in renewable energy, limited partnerships, and bank holding companies.

The LLCs are managed by an entity for which two former directors served as officers, and the Company’s Non-Executive Chairman has invested in certain of these LLCs. The equity method is used to account for the Company’s LLC investments. Income for the LLCs primarily reflects adjustments to the carrying values of investments in renewable energy projects to their determined fair values. The fair value adjustments are included in revenues for the LLCs. Expenses for the LLCs are not significant and are comprised of administrative and interest expenses. The Company received cash distributions from these investments totaling $951,000 and $266,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. (b) The Company's Excess and Surplus Lines and Corporate and Other segments have invested in notes receivable for renewable energy projects. At June 30, 2022, the Company held two notes issued by an entity for which two of our former directors serve as officers . Interest on the notes, which mature in 2025, is fixed at 12%. (c) The Company owns investments in limited partnerships that invest in concentrated portfolios including publicly-traded small cap equities, loans of middle market private equity sponsored companies, private equity general partnership interests, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and tranches of distressed home loans. Income f rom the partnerships is recognized under the equity method of accounting. At June 30, 2022, the Company’s Excess and Surplus Lines segment has outstanding commitments to invest another $5.3 million in these limited partnerships. (d) The Company's Excess and Surplus Lines segment holds $4.5 million of subordinated notes issued by a bank holding company for which the Company’s Non-Executive Chairman was previously the Lead Independent Director and an investor and for which one of the Company’s directors is also an investor (the "Bank Holding Company"). Interest on the notes, which mature on August 12, 2023, is fixed at 7.6% per annum. |

This reserve development included $32,000 of net favorable development in the Excess and Surplus Lines segment, $1.5 million of net favorable development in the Specialty Admitted Insurance segment, and no development in the Casualty Reinsurance segment. The Company experienced $3.5 million of net favorable reserve development in the three months ended June 30, 2021 on the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses held at December 31, 2020. This reserve development included $7.5 million of net favorable development in the Excess and Surplus Lines segment, $1.0 million of net favorable development in the Specialty Admitted Insurance segment, and $5.0 million of net adverse development in the Casualty Reinsurance segment. The Company experienced $5.2 million of net adverse reserve development in the six months ended June 30, 2022 on the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses held at December 31, 2021. This reserve development included $91,000 of net favorable development in the Excess and Surplus Lines segment, $1.5 million of net favorable development in the Specialty Admitted Insurance segment, and $6.8 million of net adverse development in the Casualty Reinsurance segment that was associated with the Retrocession Agreement (as defined below). On February 23, 2022, JRG Re entered into a loss portfolio transfer retrocession agreement (the “Retrocession Agreement”) with Fortitude Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“FRL”) under which FRL reinsures the majority of the reserves in the Company’s Casualty Reinsurance segment. Under the terms of the transaction, which closed on March 31, 2022 (the “Retrocession Closing Date”), JRG Re (a) ceded to FRL all existing and future claims for losses arising under certain casualty reinsurance agreements with underlying insurance companies with treaty inception dates ranging from 2011 to 2020 (the “Subject Business”), in each case net of third-party reinsurance and other recoveries, up to an aggregate limit of $400.0 million; (b) continues to manage and retain the benefit of other third-party reinsurance on the Subject Business; (c) paid FRL a reinsurance premium of $335.0 million, $310.0 million of which JRG Re credited to a notional funds withheld account (the “Funds Withheld Account”) and $25.0 million of which was paid in cash to FRL; and (d) pays FRL a 2% per annum crediting rate on the Funds Withheld Account balance on a quarterly basis. The total premium, initial Funds Withheld Account credit, and aggregate limit was adjusted for claims paid from October 1, 2021 to the Retrocession Closing Date. The Casualty Reinsurance segment incurred losses of $11.5 million (including $6.8 million of net adverse reserve development and $4.7 million of current accident year losses) in the three months ended March 31, 2022 associated with the Retrocession Agreement. The Company experienced $166.7 million of net adverse reserve development in the six months ended June 30, 2021 on the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses held at December 31, 2020. This reserve development included $161.2 million of net adverse development in the Excess and Surplus Lines segment, including $170.0 million on commercial auto business, almost entirely related to a previously canceled account that has been in runoff since 2019. The reported losses on this terminated commercial auto account meaningfully exceeded our expectations for the three months ended March 31, 2021. We had expected that reported losses would decline as the account moved further into runoff, but the continued heavy reported loss emergence in the first quarter of 2021 indicated more inherent severity than anticipated. In response, we meaningfully adjusted our actuarial methodology, resulting in a significant strengthening of reserves for this account at March 31, 2021. In prior quarters, our actuarial work for this terminated commercial auto account had been based on industry data, pricing data, experience data, average claims severity data, and blended methodologies. However, the continuation of the highly elevated reported losses in the first quarter of 2021 led us to conclude that using only our own loss experience in our paid and incurred reserve projections rather than the array of inputs that we had used in prior quarters, and giving greater weight to incurred methods, would give us a better estimate of ultimate losses on this account. Loss emergence on the terminated commercial auto account in the three months ended June 30, 2021 was in line with our expectations, and accordingly, no additional reserve development was taken in the second quarter of 2021. The Company also experienced $2.0 million of net favorable development in the Specialty Admitted Insurance segment due to favorable development in the workers' compensation business for prior accident years, and $7.5 million of net adverse development in the Casualty Reinsurance segment. |

In the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the fair values of our fixed maturity securities were negatively impacted by rising interest rates leading to unrealized losses recognized in other comprehensive loss. In addition to the $1.1 million and $1.3 million of net realized investment gains on available-for-sale fixed maturities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 ($133,000 and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 , respectively), the Company also recognized net realized and unrealized investment (losses) gains in the respective periods of $(9.9) million and $(12.0) million on its investments in bank loan participations ($1.9 million and $5.8 million in the respective prior year periods) and $(8.2) million and $(11.3) million on its investments in equity securities ($1.4 million and $2.8 million in the respective prior year periods) that was largely related to preferred stock holdings. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingent Liabilities | Contingent Liabilities The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including commercial matters and litigation regarding insurance claims arising in the ordinary course of business as well as an alleged class action lawsuit. In addition, the Company is involved from time to time in legal actions which seek extra-contractual damages, punitive damages or penalties, including claims alleging bad faith in the handling of insurance claims. The Company believes that the outcome of such matters, individually and in the aggregate, is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On July 9, 2021 a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia (the "Court") by Employees' Retirement Fund of the City of Fort Worth against James River Group Holdings, Ltd. and certain of its present and former officers (together, "Defendants"). On September 22, 2021, the Court entered an order appointing Employees' Retirement Fund of the City of Fort Worth and the City of Miami General Employees' and Sanitation Employees' Retirement Trust as co-lead plaintiffs (together, "Plaintiffs"). Plaintiffs' consolidated amended complaint was filed on November 19, 2021 (the "Amended Complaint"), which asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of a putative class of persons and entities that purchased the Company's stock between February 22, 2019 and October 25, 2021. The Amended Complaint alleges that Defendants failed to make appropriate disclosures concerning the adequacy of reserves for policies that covered Rasier LLC, a subsidiary of Uber Technologies, Inc., and seeks unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees and such other relief as the court may deem proper. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on January 18, 2022. Plaintiffs’ opposition to the motion to dismiss was filed on March 4, 2022, and the Defendants’ reply to the Plaintiff's opposition was filed on April 4, 2022. On July 13, 2022, Plaintiffs filed a notice with the Court stating that they intend to seek leave to file an amended complaint no later than August 25, 2022. We believe that Plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit. For a description of the potential future impacts of COVID-19 on the Company, see the “The global coronavirus outbreak could harm business and results of operations of the Company” risk factor in Part I—Item IA in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s reinsurance subsidiary, JRG Re, entered into three letter of credit facilities with banks as security to third-party reinsureds on reinsurance assumed by JRG Re. JRG Re has established custodial accounts to secure these letters of credit. Under a $30.0 million facility, $4.6 million of letters of credit were issued through June 30, 2022 which were secured by deposits of $9.1 million. Under a $102.5 million facility, $38.2 million of letters of credit were issued through June 30, 2022 which were secured by deposits of $46.6 million. Under a $100.0 million facility, $22.6 million of letters of credit were issued through June 30, 2022 which were secured by deposits of $30.0 million. JRG Re has also established trust accounts to secure its obligations to selected reinsureds. The total amount deposited in the trust accounts for the benefit of third-party reinsureds was $417.4 million at June 30, 2022. Amounts Recoverable from an Indemnifying Party and Reinsurer on Legacy Commercial Auto Book James River Insurance Company and James River Casualty Company (together, “James River”) previously issued a set of commercial auto insurance contracts (the “Rasier Commercial Auto Policies”) to Rasier LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “Rasier”) under which James River pays losses and loss adjustment expenses on the contracts. James River has indemnity agreements with Rasier (non-insurance entities) (collectively, the “Indemnity Agreements”) and is contractually entitled to reimbursement for the portion of the losses and loss adjustment expenses paid on behalf of Rasier under the Rasier Commercial Auto Policies and other expenses incurred by James River. On September 27, 2021, James River entered into a loss portfolio transfer reinsurance agreement (the “LPT Agreement”) with Aleka Insurance, Inc. (“Aleka”), a captive insurance company affiliate of Rasier, to reinsure substantially all of the Rasier Commercial Auto Policies for which James River is not otherwise indemnified by Rasier under the Indemnity Agreements. Under the terms of the LPT Agreement, effective as of July 1, 2021, James River ceded to Aleka approximately $345.1 million of commercial auto liabilities relating to Rasier Commercial Auto Policies written in the years 2013-2019, which amount constituted the reinsurance premium. Each of Rasier and Aleka are required to post collateral under the Indemnity Agreements and the LPT Agreement, respectively: • Pursuant to the Indemnity Agreements, Rasier is required to post collateral equal to 102% of James River's estimate of the amounts that are recoverable or may be recoverable under the indemnity agreements, including, among other things, case loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, IBNR loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, extra contractual obligations and excess policy limits liabilities. The collateral is provided through a collateral trust arrangement (the “Indemnity Trust”) in favor of James River by Aleka. In connection with the execution of the LPT Agreement, James River returned $691.3 million to the Indemnity Trust, representing the remaining balance of the amount withdrawn in October 2019, as was permitted under the indemnification agreements with Rasier and the associated trust agreement. At June 30, 2022, the balance in the Indemnity Trust was $374.3 million, and, together with the balance of the Loss Fund Trust (as defined below) attributable to the Indemnity Agreements as described below, the total balance of collateral securing Rasier’s obligations under the Indemnity Agreements was $443.4 million. • Pursuant to the LPT Agreement, Aleka is required to post collateral equal to 102% of James River's estimate of Aleka's obligations under the LPT Agreement, calculated in accordance with statutory accounting principles. The collateral is provided through a collateral trust arrangement (the “LPT Trust”) established in favor of James River by Aleka. At June 30, 2022, the balance in the LPT Trust was $165.4 million, and, together with the balance of the Loss Fund Trust (as defined below) attributable to the LPT Agreement as described below, the total balance of collateral securing Aleka’s obligations under the LPT Agreement was $193.6 million. At June 30, 2022, the total reinsurance recoverables under the LPT Agreement was $188.9 million (including $170.3 million of unpaid recoverables and $18.6 million of paid recoverables). In connection with the execution of the LPT Agreement, James River and Aleka entered into an administrative services agreement (the “Administrative Services Agreement”) with a third party claims administrator (the “Administrator”) pursuant to which the Administrator handles the claims on the Rasier Commercial Auto Policies for the remaining life of those claims. The claims paid by the Administrator are reimbursable by James River, and pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, James River established a loss fund trust account for the benefit of the Administrator (the “Loss Fund Trust”) to collateralize its claims payment reimbursement obligations. James River funds the Loss Fund Trust using funds withdrawn from the Indemnity Trust, funds withdrawn from the LPT Trust, and its own funds, in each case in an amount equal to the pro rata portion of the required Loss Fund Trust balance attributable to the Indemnity Agreements, the LPT Agreement and James River’s existing third party reinsurance agreements, respectively. At June 30, 2022, the balance in the Loss Fund Trust was $102.1 million, including $69.2 million representing collateral supporting Rasier’s obligations under the Indemnity Agreements and $28.2 million representing collateral supporting Aleka’s obligations under the LPT Agreement. Funds posted to the Loss Fund Trust are classified as restricted cash equivalents on the Company's balance sheets. While the LPT Agreement brings economic finality to substantially all of the Rasier Commercial Auto Policies, the Company has credit exposure to Rasier and Aleka under the Indemnity Agreements and the LPT Agreement if the estimated losses and expenses of the Rasier Commercial Auto Policies grow at a faster pace than the growth in our collateral balances. In addition, we have credit exposure if our estimates of future losses and loss adjustment expenses and other amounts recoverable under the Indemnity Agreements and the LPT Agreement, which are the basis for establishing the collateral balances, are lower than actual amounts paid or payable. The amount of our credit exposure in any of these instances could be material. To mitigate these risks, we closely and frequently monitor our exposure compared to our collateral held, and we request additional collateral in accordance with the terms of the LPT Agreement and Indemnity Agreements when our analysis indicates that we have uncollateralized exposure. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company has four reportable segments: the Excess and Surplus Lines segment, the Specialty Admitted Insurance segment, the Casualty Reinsurance segment, and the Corporate and Other segment. Segment profit (loss) is measured by underwriting profit (loss), which is generally defined as net earned premiums and gross fee income (in specific instances when the Company is not retaining insurance risk) in “other income” in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive (loss) income less loss and loss adjustment expenses and other operating expenses of the operating segments. Gross fee income of $900,000 and $1.7 million for the Specialty Admitted Insurance segment was included in other income and in underwriting profit (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively ($954,000 and $1.9 million in the respective prior year periods) . Segment results are reported prior to the effects of intercompany reinsurance agreements among the Company’s insurance subsidiaries.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value of financial instruments: (1) Level 1: quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets, (2) Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument, and (3) Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable for the asset or liability. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair values of fixed maturity securities, equity securities, and bank loan participations have been determined using fair value prices provided by the Company’s investment accounting services provider or investment managers, who utilize internationally recognized independent pricing services. The prices provided by the independent pricing services are generally based on observable market data in active markets ( e.g. broker quotes and prices observed for comparable securities). Values for U.S. Treasury and publicly-traded equity securities are generally based on Level 1 inputs which use the market approach valuation technique. The values for all other fixed maturity securities (including state and municipal securities and obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies) and bank loan participations generally incorporate significant Level 2 inputs, and in some cases, Level 3 inputs, using the market approach and income approach valuation techniques. There have been no changes in the Company’s use of valuation techniques since December 31, 2020. The Company reviews fair value prices provided by its outside investment accounting service provider or investment managers for reasonableness by comparing the fair values provided by the managers to those provided by its investment custodian. The Company also reviews and monitors changes in unrealized gains and losses. The Company has not historically adjusted security prices. The Company obtains an understanding of the methods, models and inputs used by the investment managers and independent pricing services, and controls are in place to validate that prices provided represent fair values. The Company’s control process includes, but is not limited to, initial and ongoing evaluation of the methodologies used, a review of specific securities and an assessment for proper classification within the fair value hierarchy, and obtaining and reviewing internal control reports for our investment manager that obtains fair values from independent pricing services. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 are summarized below: Fair Value Measurements Using Quoted Prices Significant Significant Total (in thousands) Fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale: State and municipal $ — $ 302,405 $ — $ 302,405 Residential mortgage-backed — 290,555 — 290,555 Corporate — 606,821 — 606,821 Commercial mortgage and asset-backed — 322,204 — 322,204 U.S. Treasury securities and obligations guaranteed by the U.S. government 75,356 354 — 75,710 Total fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale $ 75,356 $ 1,522,339 $ — $ 1,597,695 Equity securities: Preferred stock — 51,750 — 51,750 Common stock 43,470 3,433 — 46,903 Total equity securities $ 43,470 $ 55,183 $ — $ 98,653 Bank loan participations $ — $ 159,885 $ — $ 159,885 Short-term investments $ — $ 130,435 $ — $ 130,435 Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 are summarized below: Fair Value Measurements Using Quoted Prices Significant Significant Total (in thousands) Fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale: State and municipal $ — $ 333,717 $ — $ 333,717 Residential mortgage-backed — 246,631 — 246,631 Corporate — 732,335 — 732,335 Commercial mortgage and asset-backed — 304,488 — 304,488 U.S. Treasury securities and obligations guaranteed by the U.S. government 59,988 402 — 60,390 Total fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale $ 59,988 $ 1,617,573 $ — $ 1,677,561 Equity securities: Preferred stock — 63,612 — 63,612 Common stock 41,244 3,452 102 44,798 Total equity securities $ 41,244 $ 67,064 $ 102 $ 108,410 Bank loan participations $ — $ 156,043 $ — $ 156,043 Short-term investments $ — $ 136,563 $ — $ 136,563 A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, equity securities, and bank loan participations measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is shown below: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2022 2021 2022 2021 (in thousands) (in thousands) Beginning balance $ — $ 299 $ 102 $ 980 Transfers out of Level 3 — — — — Transfers in to Level 3 — — — — Purchases — — — — Sales — — (92) (282) Maturities, calls and paydowns — (17) — (41) Amortization of discount — — — — Total gains or losses (realized/unrealized): Included in earnings — (51) (10) (426) Included in other comprehensive income — — — — Ending balance $ — $ 231 $ — $ 231 The Company had one equity security at December 31, 2021 for which the fair value was determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The fair value of $102,000 for the equity security was based on expected proceeds from its sale. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold the equity security. The Company held one bank loan participation and one equity security at June 30, 2021 and one bank loan participation and two equity securities at December 31, 2020 for which the fair value was determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). A market approach using prices in trades of comparable securities was utilized to determine a fair value for the securities of $231,000 at June 30, 2021 and $980,000 at December 31, 2020. Transfers out of Level 3 occur when the Company is able to obtain reliable prices from pricing vendors for securities for which the Company was previously unable to obtain reliable prices. Transfers in to Level 3 occur when the Company is unable to obtain reliable prices for securities from pricing vendors and instead must use broker price quotes to value the securities. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. The Company recognizes transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period. In the determination of the fair value for bank loan participations and certain high yield bonds, the Company’s investment manager endeavors to obtain data from multiple external pricing sources. External pricing sources may include brokers, dealers and price data vendors that provide a composite price based on prices from multiple dealers. Such external pricing sources typically provide valuations for normal institutional size trading units of such securities using methods based on market transactions for comparable securities, and various relationships between securities, as generally recognized by institutional dealers. For investments in which the investment manager determines that only one external pricing source is appropriate or if only one external price is available, the relevant investment is generally recorded at fair value based on such price. Investments for which external sources are not available or are determined by the investment manager not to be representative of fair value are recorded at fair value as determined by the Company, with input from its investment managers and valuation specialists as considered necessary. In determining the fair value of such investments, the Company considers one or more of the following factors: type of security held, convertibility or exchangeability of the security, redeemability of the security (including the timing of redemptions), application of industry accepted valuation models, recent trading activity, liquidity, estimates of liquidation value, purchase cost, and prices received for securities with similar terms of the same issuer or similar issuers. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no investments for which external sources were unavailable to determine fair value. The carrying values and fair values of financial instruments are summarized below: June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Carrying Fair Value Carrying Fair Value (in thousands) Assets Fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale $ 1,597,695 $ 1,597,695 $ 1,677,561 $ 1,677,561 Equity securities 98,653 98,653 108,410 108,410 Bank loan participations 159,885 159,885 156,043 156,043 Cash and cash equivalents 350,740 350,740 190,123 190,123 Restricted cash equivalents 102,099 102,099 102,005 102,005 Short-term investments 130,435 130,435 136,563 136,563 Other invested assets – notes receivable 9,740 11,536 9,740 11,921 Liabilities Senior debt 222,300 215,550 262,300 252,213 Junior subordinated debt 104,055 108,235 104,055 106,635 The fair values of fixed maturity securities, equity securities, and bank loan participations have been determined using quoted market prices for securities traded in the public market or prices using bid or closing prices for securities not traded in the public marketplace. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturity. The fair values of other invested assets-notes receivable, senior debt, and junior subordinated debt at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were determined by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows under the terms of the note agreements or debt agreements, as applicable, discounted at an estimated market rate of interest at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair values of senior debt and junior subordinated debt at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were determined using inputs to the valuation methodology that are unobservable (Level 3). |

Temporary Equity [Abstract] | |
Series A Preferred Shares | Series A Preferred Shares On February 24, 2022, we entered into an Investment Agreement with GPC Partners Investments (Thames) LP (“GPC Partners”), an affiliate of Gallatin Point Capital LLC, relating to the issuance and sale of 150,000 7% Series A Perpetual Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares, par value $0.00125 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), for an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million, or $1,000 per share, in a private placement. The transaction closed on March 1, 2022 (the “Series A Closing Date”). The Series A Preferred Shares rank senior to our common shares with respect to dividend rights and rights on the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, upon which the holders of Series A Preferred Shares would receive the greater of the $1,000 liquidation preference per share (the “Liquidation Preference”) plus accrued and unpaid dividends, or the amount they would have received if they had converted all of their Series A Preferred Shares to common shares immediately before such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to a dividend at the initial rate of 7% of the Liquidation Preference per annum, paid in cash, in-kind in common shares or in Series A Preferred Shares, at our election. On the five-year anniversary of the Series A Closing Date, and each five-year anniversary thereafter, the dividend rate will reset to a rate equal to the five-year U.S. treasury rate plus 5.2%. Dividends accrue quarterly and are payable on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, and commenced with a cash dividend of $3.5 million paid on June 30, 2022 for the period from the Series A Closing Date through June 30, 2022. The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible at the option of the holders thereof at any time into common shares at an initial conversion price of $26.5950, making the Series A Preferred Shares initially convertible into 5,640,158 common shares. The conversion price is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including cash dividends on the common shares above specified levels, as well as certain adjustments in case of adverse reserve developments. At any time on or after the two year anniversary of the Series A Closing Date, if the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) per Common Share is greater than 130% of the then-applicable conversion price for at least twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the Company will be able to elect to convert (a “Mandatory Conversion”) all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares into Common Shares. In the case of a Mandatory Conversion, each Series A Preferred Share then outstanding will be converted into (i) the number of Common Shares equal to the quotient of (A) the sum of the Liquidation Preference and the accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to such Series A Preferred Share to be converted divided by (B) the conversion price of such share in effect as of the date of the Mandatory Conversion plus (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares. Upon any Mandatory Conversion on or before the five-year anniversary of the Series A Closing Date, all dividends that would have accrued from the date of the Mandatory Conversion to the later of the five-year anniversary of the Series A Closing Date or the last day of the eighth quarter following the date of the Mandatory Conversion, the last eight quarters of which will be discounted to present value using a discount rate of 3.5% per annum, and will be immediately payable in Common Shares, valued at the average of the daily VWAP of the Company’s Common Shares during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Mandatory Conversion. The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares may require us to repurchase their shares upon the occurrence of certain change of control events. Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Certificate of Designations designating the Series A Preferred Shares), each holder of outstanding Series A Preferred Shares will be permitted to, at its election, (i) effective as of immediately prior to the Fundamental Change, convert all or a portion of its Series A Preferred Shares into Common Shares, or (ii) require the Company to repurchase any or all of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares at a purchase price per Series A Preferred Share equal to the Liquidation Preference of such Series A Preferred Share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The repurchase price will be payable in cash. Because the Company may be required to repurchase all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Shares at the option of the holder upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, the Series A Preferred Shares have been classified as mezzanine equity in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and are recognized at fair value of $150.0 million (the proceeds on the date of issuance) less issuance costs of $5.1 million, resulting in a carrying value of $144.9 million. |

Equity Incentive Plans The Company’s shareholders have approved various equity incentive plans, including the 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2014 LTIP”) and the 2014 Non-Employee Director Incentive Plan (“2014 Director Plan”) (collectively, the “Plans”). All awards issued under the Plans are issued at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Employees are eligible to receive non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, share appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted shares, RSUs, and other awards under the 2014 LTIP. The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the 2014 LTIP is 4,171,150, and at June 30, 2022, 814,511 shares are available for grant. Non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to receive non-qualified stock options, share appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted shares, RSUs, and other awards under the 2014 Director Plan. The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the 2014 Director Plan is 150,000, and at June 30, 2022, 77,708 shares are available for grant.

All of the outstanding options have an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying shares at the date of grant. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2022 was 0.9 years. RSUs The following table summarizes RSU activity: Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 Shares Weighted- Shares Weighted- Unvested, beginning of period 292,135 $ 45.89 399,856 $ 43.59 Granted 538,778 $ 20.50 139,682 $ 50.22 Vested (112,353) $ 45.49 (164,957) $ 41.85 Forfeited (9,760) $ 22.97 (25,816) $ 46.34 Unvested, end of period 708,800 $ 26.97 348,765 $ 46.87 Outstanding RSUs granted to employees generally vest ratably over a three year vesting period. RSUs granted to non-employee directors have a one year vesting period. The holders of RSUs are entitled to dividend equivalents. The dividend equivalents are settled in cash at the same time that the underlying RSUs vest and are subject to the same risk of forfeiture as the underlying shares. The fair value of the RSUs granted is based on the market price of the underlying shares at the date of grant. Compensation Expense Share based compensation expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the vesting period. The amount of expense and related tax benefit is summarized below: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2022 2021 2022 2021 (in thousands) Share based compensation expense $ 2,196 $ 1,862 $ 3,982 $ 3,767 U.S. tax benefit on share based compensation expense 409 302 745 596 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its subsidiaries from their respective dates of inception or acquisition, as applicable. Readers are urged to review the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a more complete description of the Company’s business and accounting policies. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. |
Estimates and Assumptions | Estimates and Assumptions Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Those estimates are inherently subject to change, and actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. |
Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities Entities that do not have sufficient equity at risk to allow the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support or in which the equity investors, as a group, do not have the characteristic of a controlling financial interest are referred to as variable interest entities (“VIE”). A VIE is consolidated by the variable interest holder that is determined to have the controlling financial interest (primary beneficiary) as a result of having both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of an entity subject to consolidation based on a qualitative assessment of the VIE’s capital structure, contractual terms, nature of the VIE’s operations and purpose, and the Company’s relative exposure to the related risks of the VIE on the date it becomes initially involved in the VIE. The Company reassesses its VIE determination with respect to an entity on an ongoing basis. |
Income Tax Expense | Income Tax ExpenseOur effective tax rate fluctuates from period to period based on the relative mix of income reported by country and the respective tax rates imposed by each tax jurisdiction. For U.S.-sourced income, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax expense differs from the amounts computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to income before taxes due primarily to interest income on tax-advantaged state and municipal securities, dividends received income, and excess tax benefits on share based compensation. |
Adopted Accounting Standards | Adopted Accounting Standards In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock and became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted the new standard concurrent with the issuance of our Series A preferred shares on March 1, 2022. Under ASU 2020-06, embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. The new guidance also requires entities to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and generally requires them to include the effect of potential share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares. Adoption of the new standard did not materially impact our financial position, results of operations, or earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2022. |
