Virginia Insurance Laws and Regulations

The Virginia Bureau of Insurance develops and enforces insurance laws for the state. Consumers can contact the department with questions and complaints about their auto and home insurance. If you do not receive the service you expect from your insurer, you can file a complaint directly with the State Corporation Commission. The Commonwealth of Virginia does not provide insurance company complaint information for consumers to reference when shopping for a new insurer.
