incurred but not reported (IBNR) losses

An estimate of the amount of an insurer's (or self-insurer's) liability for claim-generating events that have taken place but have not yet been reported to the insurer or self-insurer. The sum of IBNR losses plus incurred losses provide an estimate of the insurer's eventual liabilities for losses during a given period.
