Best Life Insurance in Connecticut
73 life insurers ranked by formal complaint rates filed with state regulators. Lower complaints = better claims experience.
When policyholders and their families in Connecticut file a claim, often at the worst possible time, the experience varies widely from one company to the next. The 73 life insurers ranked below are graded solely on formal complaints filed against them with state insurance regulators, not on price, advertising, or paid customer surveys. A higher grade means a company drew proportionally fewer complaints about claim delays, underpayments, and denials than its competitors.
Across the 73 graded companies, the breakdown is 23 A grades, 18 B grades, 24 C grades, 6 D grades, and 2 F grades. Allstate Insurance Company, AMERICAN-AMICABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF TEXAS, and ATHENE ANNUITY AND LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK post the strongest claims records in Connecticut, each drawing fewer complaints than the industry average. At the other end, AUGUSTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY and Transamerica Life Insurance Company draw complaints at well above the typical rate. Compare every rated insurer below before you buy or switch, and weigh these grades alongside price and coverage rather than in place of them.
