The New York State Insurance Department said it upheld 993 consumer complaints against private passenger automobile insurance companies last year, and Berkshire Hathaway's GEICO brand accounted for 177 of those.
The figures were contained in the department's "2008 Annual Ranking of Automobile Insurance Complaints," released today.
"The ranking is a valuable tool consumers can use to evaluate the performance of their insurance company. They can also use this information to check the performance of other companies if they are shopping for auto insurance. Indeed, the market is competitive and it is always a good time to compare prices," said Insurance Superintendent Eric Dinallo, in a statement.
