I don't know where this list came from but I suppose it depends on your critera for ''top ten'' he has written premium...for p&c company's ...I don't think this list is accruate AT ALL....as far as auto carriers, I believe it's
1/ state farm
2/ allstate
3/ progressive
4/ gieco
5/farmers

i think 3 and 4 keep going back and forth... :roll:

Great now mine isn't on there at all. I got ANOTHER question...Lets say that a person was suing someone LIKE state farm for an accident that was 100% their drivers fault...a year or two down the road she finds really better rates and coverage will State Farm turn her down because she had sued them in the past for injuries she got from one of their drivers?

Hi Lori ...this list is published by National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) based on filling received by April 2008.
I am not able to upload related document for this which has listing based on the line of business.

Please follow web link http://www.naic.org/research_home.htm

You can find it under Top 25 Property/Casualty Market Share.

I'd not put some of those in the top 10 insurance companies .... good beats, but you can't dance to them.

Without having the criteria defined at all, there is no way to make a meaningful list.

Written premium (all lines or just certain ones), assets, customer service (then you have to define by who's standards), loss ratios, etc.

#1: Illinois Mutual for blue collar Disability Income Insurance.

#1: Aviva for Fixed Indexed Annuities.

#1: Amica for Auto Insurance.

#1: State Farm for homeowner's insurance, unless you live in a Gulf Coast state.

#1: Largest worst insurance company AIG.

#1: Most expensive medical insurance, Assurant.

#1: Best life insurance company until AIG bought 'em, Old Line Life.

#1: Worst consumer product Variable Annuity.

Yes tcope you are right …there can be number of ranking criteria …this is what I found published by NAIC based on written premium and market share for all line of business(P&C).

Lori you are correct on Auto insurance companies, NAIC has same ranking.
1/ state farm
2/ allstate
3/ progressive
4/ gieco - part of BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY GRP (Warren Buffet Company)
5/farmers - part of ZURICH INS GRP

Hi fireyone…..I think this will an unfair discrimination if insurance company turns down an application just because applicant has sued their insured for a fault. Underwriters are more concerned on unusual loss exposure while reviewing application and suing someone for his/her fault is very reasonable.
