I'm not a big fan of insurance companies, but most of us have to deal with one at one time or another. I recommend two pages on this site of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Its Consumer Information Source at https://eapps.naic.org/cis will let you check out a particular company, incl. complaints and financial data. (The last thing you want is for your insurance company to fold before it can pay off!) InsureU at www.insureuonline.org offers useful tips for a variety of situations.
