How to read the New York ranking
The Department of Financial Services ranks auto insurers by upheld complaints per million dollars of premiums over a two-year period. A complaint is upheld when DFS agrees with the consumer that the insurer made an inappropriate decision. DFS notes that "only one or two additional upheld complaints per year can have a significant impact on a smaller insurer" and that because every auto insurer is ranked, "some must be at the bottom of each year's list even if every company is performing well." The ranking includes only complaints received by DFS.
Figures are for this legal company only. An insurance group may sell through several companies, each with its own record.
