Overview of Market Report
The ValChoice market report analyzes the U.S. private passenger auto insurance industry to determine whether the economic conflict between insurance company policy holders and shareholders results in higher prices and/or lower claims payments compared to private companies. The study was undertaken to provide consumers with better information on how to best protect themselves with insurance. The analysis was performed for the five-year period from 2010 to 2014. Over the five-year period, this conflict cost auto insurance policyholders $18.9 billion in increased auto insurance, $12.4 billion in unpaid claims or some combination of the two.
