Explanation of Grading

"F"--virtually never pays claims, especially claims for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits, harasses clients with unnecessary documentation, and if makes an offer, will offer a pittance of what case is worth

"D"--rarely offers anywhere near full value, must be threatened with bad faith to 'ante up', pays third party claims at lower than most

"C"--an average company, will offer more to settle than the D rated companies

"B"--above average, much more reasonable on paying claims

"A"--the best for paying claims and treatment of their policyholders
