N.Y.S. Insurance Dept. Rates Auto Insurance Carriers

Every year the New York State Insurance Department ranks car insurers by number of complaints, based on how many New York State insurance policies they write and how much they collect in insurance premium dollars.

The just-released 2007 rankings show that the worst automobile insurance carrier, by far, is The Long Island Insurance Co. of Melville, Long Island.

The Infinity Property & Casualty Insurance Group of Birmingham, Alabama, was second-worst.

Best on the list with the fewest complaints is the American Modern Insurance Group, followed by number two, Atlantic Companies.
