How does a person find out the record of an insurance company?

Question

I tried the Better Business B.

Answer 1

Ah, the BBB is pretty useless.  There are three things you can check:

1.  financial strength rating at www.ambest.com

2.  you can get their annual report online, if they are a publically traded company, at www.sec.gov

3.  you can check your state insurance department website, for complaints about that company.

Or you can go to a local, independent agent, and let THEM screen the companies for you.

Answer 2

Or you could try AM Best website.

Answer 3

What do you mean by "the record"?

Answer 4

You can check with your states department of insurance for complaints
