The New York State department of assurance (Doi) just released the 2008 annual Ranking of Automobile assurance Complaints. The description has been issued to help consumers find the automobile insurer that best meets their needs. You can use this description to collate the ranking of the assurance business you are doing business with now, or check an additional one business you may be considering.
This description analyzed data collected from 2006 and 2007. It only ranks associates doing business in the State of New York. However, as New York is a heavily populated state, with both big urban centers and big suburban areas, the description can be considered a good representation of assurance business doing nationwide.

The Walk Overview
"Can books be better than TV? You bet they can -- when Lee Goldberg's writing them. Get aboard now for a thrill ride," Lee Child, New York Times bestselling authorIt's one minute after the Big One. Marty Slack, a TV network executive, crawls out from under his Mercedes, parked outside what once was a downtown Los Angeles warehouse, the location for a new TV show. Downtown LA is in ruins. The sky is thick with black smoke. His cell phone is dead. The freeways are rubble. The airport is demolished. Buildings lay across streets like fallen trees. It will be days before help can arrive.
Marty has been expecting this day all his life. He's prepared. In his car are a pair of sturdy walking shoes and a backpack of food, water, and supplies. He knows there is only one thing he can do ... that he must do: get home to his wife Beth, go back to their gated community on the far edge of the San Fernando Valley.
All he has to do is walk. But he will quickly learn that it's not that easy. His dangerous, unpredictable journey home will take him through the different worlds of what was once Los Angeles. Wildfires rage out of control. Flood waters burst through collapsed dams. Natural gas explosions consume neighborhoods. Sinkholes swallow entire buildings. After-shocks rip apart the ground. Looters rampage through the streets.
There's no power. No running water. No order.
Marty Slack thinks he's prepared. He's wrong. Nothing can prepare him for this ordeal, a quest for his family and for his soul, a journey that will test the limits of his endurance and his humanity, a trek from the man he was to the man he can be ... if he can survive The Walk.
The book includes a free bonus excerpt from J.A. Konrath's best-selling, kick-ass thriller THE LIST.

The assurance associates are ranked on a complaint ratio. The ratio is calculated by the number of complaints upheld against associates as a division of their total incommunicable passenger auto business.
Insurers with the fewest upheld complaints per million dollars of premiums are shown at the top of the list. The associates with the top ratio of complaints are ranked at the bottom.
Other facts to Consider
The ranking of an assurance business is important, but it is only one characteristic that consumers should weigh when considering doing business with an assurance company. Others are:
o Referrals from friends, relatives, neighbors or co-workers about the experiences they had with their assurance companies
o Price of the excellent versus perceived value
o Search the Internet for other ideas
o Check your state's Doi website, which may include significant consumer facts about associates doing business in your state.
What The Ranking Does and Does Not Contain
o Private passenger assurance is the only type evaluated.
o It only includes the complaints referred by consumers to the Doi. It does not include complaints made directly to the assurance companies.
o Complaints are "upheld" when the Doi agrees with a consumer that an assurance business made an inappropriate decision.
o Information from prior years is included in the tables so consumers can see if the business has improved or gotten worse.
o All associates with at least million in excellent in 2006 and 2007 are included in the ranking. Insurers with less than million were included if they had 10 or more complaints against them.
