Every Insurance Company offers over dozen types of Insurance Policies, starting with "Basic Forms Insurance Policy" (The most basic type of Insurance policy usually providing only required by State Law coverages such as fire, smoke, water, vandalism, etc.) and going up to the Premium Deluxe Policy Package (Insurance Policy that usually contains most types of coverages that could be purchased/ if appropriate for the type of house being insured).

More important question is what type of Insurance Policy will be purchased rather than what Insurance Company the policy is purchased from. Read more about how to choose your policy here.

However, one factor must be taken into consideration when choosing Insurance Company (or Insurance Carrier) for your Home Insurance, and that is Claims Department Standard Operating Procedures.

The easiest way to explain it would be on an example.

Take two largest Insurance Companies out there: State Farm and All State. Both companies' standard Home Insurance Policy contains very similar (if not the same) forty+ pages of legal language, most of which is there as it is required by the Illinois Department of Insurance. But each of two companies have totally different Standard Operating Procedures when it comes to processing insurance claims. And if Insurance Company approves a claim (statistically, happens in 13% of all claims field by Homeowners in U.S. and Canada) - no-one complains, but in these other 87% of cases when Insurance Company may under-pay or completely deny Insurance Claim - Standard Operating Procedures make a big difference.

Insurance Policy of both Insurance Companies will allow certain procedures to be performed, which should ensure a fair resolution of insurance claim (claim's appraisal, arbitration, engineer's evaluation, law suite, etc.). However, in a real life thats not what always happens. (the below statistical info - make it nice and visual somehow).

All State:

1. 91% of all dispute claims are being approved/ or settled as a result of the above-described resolution procedures . 9% of all dispute claims go to court or being closed by All State

2. 37% of all dispute claims are being approved/ or settled as a result of the above-described resolution procedures . 63% of all dispute claims go to court or being closed by All State

State Farm:

1. 32% of all dispute claims are bing approved/ or settled as a result of the above-described resolution procedures. 68% of all dispute claims go to court or being closed by State Farm.

Statistical information collected by State Restoration Services for years 2021-2023. Based on over 1700 claims processed.

2. Comparing to the same statistic for years 2017-2020 the ratio of approvals/ denials would be almost completely opposite in relation to both Insurance Companies.

84% of all dispute claims are bing approved/ or settled as a result of the above-described resolution procedures. 16% of all dispute claims go to court or being closed by State Farm.
