New Tools Make It Easy To Check the Background of Your Insurance Company

It's now easier than ever to check the background of your insurance company and agent.

The Washington State Insurance Commissioner is rolling out a consumer toolkit to help Washington residents understand the different types of insurance and look up past violations and complaints against insurers and agents.

The insurance commissioner’s consumer toolkit includes
  • A wide variety of easy-to understand information on different types of insurance and information about coverage.
  • Online filing – and tracking – of complaints against an insurance company.
  • Online filing of complaints against an insurance agent or broker.
  • And a new system to look up contact information, licensing history, past violations and consumer complaints against agents or companies.
