Umbrella insurance complaints

39 complaints against 21 umbrella insurers, from state insurance department records. The regulator found the company at fault in 17.9% of them.

These companies are not graded — here is why

Every A–F grade on this site divides a company's complaints by how much business it writes, so a giant and a small carrier can be compared honestly. Regulators publish that denominator for auto, home, health and life cover — but not for umbrella insurance. Ranking these companies by complaint count alone would rank them by size, which is exactly what the complaint index exists to avoid.

What the records do support is the outcome: of the complaints filed against a company, how often the department upheld them. That needs no denominator, and it is the column to read below.
