Keep in mind that bigger doesn’t always mean better. You’ll recognize some of the “biggest” insurers also appear on the American Association for Justice’s list of Top Ten Worst Insurance Companies for consumers. Is your insurer on THAT list?

Insurance companies are businesses. Their most basic goal is to pay out less in claims than they make in premiums. Every claim paid out, whether it is a workers’ compensation claim, a no-fault claim, or an auto liability claim, cuts into their profits.

If you’ve sustained injuries as a result of an auto accident, or if you have a work-related injury, you are a liability in the eyes of the insurance company. Their end-of-the-day goal is to pay you as little as possible. 

Whether you’ve got a Minnesota workers’ compensation injury, or injuries as a result of a Minnesota car accident, an experienced attorney can help make sure you get the compensation you are entitled to.

    1. this is NOT a list of the best rated companies! go back and read: simply reads most net premium sold. Liberty Mutual was on a recent list of worst companies for not paying claims consistently.

  2. Becoming an insurance agent or adjuster is one of the rewarding careers in finance industry. Completing necessary requirements (government, state and certification body’s application requirements) and taking a preparatory course are the most important things before taking the exam to get your life and health or property and casualty insurance license. Other than finding resources in your state department’s website, you can also check for insurance licensing exam providers online.
