  • 2021 US Auto Insurance Study
    Auto Insurance Customer Satisfaction Stalls Despite $18 Billion in Premium Relief, J.D. Power Finds Weaknesses in Self-Service Communications Channels Overshadow Pandemic-Driven Refunds TROY, Mich.: 15 June 2021 — The auto insurance industry voluntarily returned more than $18 billion in auto insurance premiums to customers in 2020 to address the sharp decline in miles driven during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the magnitude of this historic relief effort, the J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Auto Insurance Study,SM released today, finds that overall customer satisfaction with auto insurers is flat, following four consecutive years of improvement. “What we’re seeing in this year’s study is a case of insurers delivering with their actions but missing the mark on effective communication to their customers,” said Robert Lajdziak, senior consultant for insurance intelligence at J.D. Power. “The refunds provided to customers during the pandemic were significant, representing nearly 7% of total industry premiums, but only half of customers were even aware of them. Worse, when customers needed to communicate with their insurers, either via phone, website or chat, many came away feeling less satisfied with the result than in the past.” Following are some of the key findings of the 2021 study: • Overall satisfaction stagnates: Overall customer satisfaction with auto insurance providers is 835 (on a 1,000-point scale) this year, unchanged from a year ago. This is the first time since 2017 that auto insurance customer satisfaction has not improved year over year. • Insurers miss the mark in communication: While price is the lowest-scoring factor in the study, it has seen the greatest improvement year over year.

  • Who Will Be Handling Your Claims Under Berkshire Hathaway's Latest
    WHO WILL BE HANDLING YOUR CLAIMS UNDER BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY’S LATEST RETROACTIVE REINSURANCE DEALS? Date: 13 July 2017 Insurance Coverage Alert By: John M. Sylvester, Jacquelyn S. Celender In recent years, we have commented on the various retroactive reinsurance transactions that Berkshire Hathaway and its subsidiary, National Indemnity Company ("NICO"), have entered into with ceding insurers regarding coverage for long-tail asbestos and environmental claims, including how those transactions have affected the handling of policyholder claims.[1] Earlier this year, NICO announced that it had entered into two new retroactive reinsurance transactions – one with various AIG group insurers (the "AIG/NICO Deal")[2] and the other with the Hartford group insurers (the "Hartford/NICO Deal").[3] These two recent transactions differ from many of NICO's prior retroactive reinsurance deals ─ in which NICO and its affiliated claims-handling entity, Resolute Management Inc. ("Resolute"), had been given claims-handling responsibility ─ in that the recent transactions do not purport to give control of claims handling to NICO (and Resolute). Despite representations in the press releases from AIG and Hartford announcing these deals[4] that they (and not NICO) will maintain control of claims handling, a careful reading of the transactional documents for the AIG/NICO Deal and the Hartford/NICO Deal reveals that NICO gained important rights related to claims handling which, if fully exercised, could significantly impact how policyholder claims are handled and resolved (and, ultimately, whether those claims are paid). This Alert discusses how policyholders may be impacted by NICO's exercise of the claims-handling related rights provided to it under the AIG/NICO Deal and the Hartford/NICO Deal.
