Financial Ratings of Insurance Companies

Financial Ratings of Insurance Companies I have found that many insurance companies will tout their financial credibility through the rating companies scoring. You will see AM Best ratings, Moody's ratings, or Standard and Poor's ratings throughout company paraphernalia. The common ingredient seems to be that you cannot compare the two.

I believe this is intentional because the rating companies will use different criteria in their scoring, and it is an obvious decision to use the 'best' insurance rating score to promote each insurance company to insurance shoppers. Financial ratings are important for insurance shoppers. Generally they educate the shopper about the financial wherewithal of each company. This would imply a verification of the companies ability to pay claims to you in the event of a disaster. So what do you do to compare companies financial strengt...
