Before you make up your mind, it's better to find out if the company is licensed or not.

2) Insurance Company Financial Status :-
                          Before investing in any company find out it's financial status by searching on web about the top credit agencies. But you should not stop here, consider asking relatives, co-workers and friends for referrals. Its always better to get benefit from the experiences of others, so get knowledge from someone you know who had filled a claim about an insurer's customer service representatives, the speed with which a claim was appraised, processed and paid is up to the customers expectations or not will tell you about the efficiency of that company.
