By The major role of your State Insurance Commissioner is to represent and protect the interest of policyholders when it comes to the matter of insurance.
In order to carry out their responsibility without glitches, each of the State insurance regulators promulgate standards and best practices to keep insurance companies and agents under check.
Beyond protecting the interest of the public, State insurance commissioners serve as a good resource for anyone that needs to know more about an insurance company before proceeding to buy their policy.
If you are struggling with getting your insurance company to pay you for claim and you don’t feel comfortable hiring a personal insurance lawyer to battle it out with them in court, reach out the office of the State Insurance Commissioner near you. Beyond that, prepare to deal with corrupt insurance companies.
The Kind of Insurance Your State Commissioner Can Help You With
There’s no kind of insurance your state commission can’t help you with, except you didn’t report to them.
The insurance industry is a highly regulated industry, so they are always open to receive any form of insurance fraud. It is in your best interest and those of other policyholders to report every form of insurance scam.
