How do I learn more about a life insurance company?
More than 2,000 companies in the United States sell life insurance. Most sell policies through agents or brokers; some companies offer policies by mail and online. Before purchasing a policy, check the insurance company's financial condition. You can do this by asking the financial advisor or requesting information from your state's insurance department. A number of insurance rating services rate the financial strength of companies. These ratings can be found in public libraries. Also check your state insurance department's web site (if available), or call to be sure the company is licensed in your state. View our financial ratings.
