Hartford Insurance Company Review

Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. was founded in 1810 and is now one of the largest investment and insurance companies in the United States. The company is national, having offices in Japan, Canada, Brazil, Ireland, and the United Kingdom as well as the U.S. One thing that currently sets Hartford Insurance apart from other insurance companies is their diverse business offerings, including group employee insurance, investment products such as mutual funds, annuities, and college savings plans, as well as the traditional insurance products such as auto, home and life insurance. With millions of customers throughout the world that include businesses, institutions, governments and businesses, Hartford works though a network of independent agents and brokers personally and online. 2010 will mark their 200th anniversary and likely a banner year for the company. While the company itself has impressive underpinnings, how does it treat its customers when it comes to auto insurance? Are claims paid in a timely fashion and are customers treated with respect and speedy service? According to a JD Power and associates report, they do. The Hartford Company receives very high reviews and ranks third among all insurance companies rated by the yearly, and well-respected report. The prices for the insurance are low, the customer service representatives are fair and friendly, and the claims service is generally speedy and efficient. Those who have been involved in incidents with those insured by Hartford likewise report that they received fair treatment and quick payment if the Hartford client was at fault in the accident. Hartford Financial Services Group scored 889 points out of 1,000, which gives it a solid B+ rating in our book. Their Standard & Poor's rating is also very solid, an AA+, meaning that the company's stability and likely ability to pay claims in the future does not appear to be in jeopardy, despite the economic recession.
