American Family Insurance Review
This American Family Insurance review is divided into three sections, considering its: 1. AM Best Financial Strength Rating; 2. JD Power insurance study results; 3. Customer complaint ratings.
1. AM Best Financial Strength Rating for the American Family insurance companies insuring cars & homes
The American Family companies (American Family Mutual Insurance Company, American Family Insurance Company, American Family Life Insurance Company, American Standard Insurance Company of Ohio, and American Standard Insurance Company of Wisconsin) had their A (Excellent) AM Best Financial Strength Rating with a stable outlook (no ratings upgrade or downgrade is expected in the near future) reaffirmed on 5/07/2015, the same rating these companies have maintained since 2011 or longer. A is the third highest rating for AM Best.
The AM Best financial strength ratings for the American Family companies are not a measure of customer service or the quality of the company’s claims adjusting, but an opinion about their ability to pay claims, remain financially solvent, and stay in business. I recommend avoiding, if possible or practical, any auto, property insurance company with lower than an “A-” rating for financial strength from AM Best. Some insurance companies have higher financial strength ratings than the American Family companies, but the difference in financial strength among A++, A+, A, & A- rated companies is not significant to me unless higher rated companies are the same or better in terms of price, coverage, claims handling, and customer service.
American Family purchased not long ago the nonstandard auto insurance company, Permanent General Assurance Corp. (The General), which is rated separately by AM Best, and is included in my review of The General Auto Insurance, as well as Homesite Insurance, an insurer selling home insurance in the USA direct from the company.
2. American Family Insurance JD Power Ratings Analysis for 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, & 2016
The annual JD Power insurance company surveys are, in my opinion, the most objective & relevant measures of customer & claims satisfaction, by evaluating the opinions of thousands of consumers about their auto & home insurance. However, the power circle ratings used by JD Power can be misleading, with some companies receiving 4 power circles (better than most) and 5 power circles (among the best) ratings, but not scoring much above the score of the average insurance company. This review will analyze the JD Power ratings & numerical scores for American Family Insurance, in all the JD Power insurance studies where it was included in recent years, to see if its JD Power ratings truly reflect the quality of the claims & customer service for the company.
I’ll compare the numerical scores (instead of the power circle rating) for American Family auto & home insurance, to the industry average and the scores of competing insurance companies, for each JD Power insurance study (2011-2016) where it was rated. American Family was included in the following annual JD Power insurance studies:
The Annual JD Power Auto Insurance Customer Satisfaction Study
The Annual JD Power Auto Insurance Claims Satisfaction Study
The Annual JD Power Auto Insurance Purchasing Experience Study
The Annual JD Power Homeowners Insurance Customer Satisfaction Study
The Annual JD Power Property (Home) Insurance Claims Satisfaction Study

In my opinion, based on its point score in the Central region, American Family did not score so much above the average score, it should be considered providing “better than most” auto insurance customer satisfaction in this region. State Farm & Auto-owners insurance, scoring 833 out of 1,000 points (21 points above American Family), and 821 out of 1,000 points (9 points above American Family) in the Central study respectively, scored higher than American Family, and more than 2% above the Central region average score.

In my opinion, based on its point score in the Central study, American Family scored close enough to average to earn its “about average” three power circle rating, and should be considered providing average auto insurance customer satisfaction in this region for 2012.
Central Region Auto Insurance Satisfaction Summary: American Family scored .5% above, 1.1% above, .2% below, and .2% above the region average each year in the 2012, 2013, 2014, & 2015 studies respectively, showing inconsistent auto insurance customer satisfaction in average range in three of the last four years for the central region states of AR, IA, KS, MN, MO, NE, ND, OK, and SD.

2011 US National Study: American Family received the rating of three power circles, scoring 791 points out of 1,000 points, which is 1 point (.1%) above the national average of 790 points on the 1,000 point scale. Based on its point score in the 2011 national study, American Family scored close enough to the study average score, and should be considered providing average auto insurance customer satisfaction in the states where it operates, for 2011.
The good news is I don’t think the American Family about average scores (within 1% of the average) in the regions of this annual study each year, suggest you have to switch to a different auto insurance company because of poor auto insurance customer satisfaction. However, its wise to consider my analysis of the scores, along with the price you pay and coverage you have with American Family, and see how other companies compare. It’s okay to pay more for better service or a better product, but I won’t pay more for the same coverage, from an insurance company providing average service. You may be very happy with American Family or your American Family agent now, but you may not feel the same way if you have a large claim. You also may be less happy with American Family, if you can find the same coverage at a much lower price, from an equally good or better auto insurance company.

2014: American Family scored 14 points (on a 1,000 point scale) or 1.4% above the 2014 JD Power Auto Insurance Purchase Experience study average, at 835 out of 1,000 points.
Here is how American Family rated in the factors used to determine its overall satisfaction score for the auto insurance purchase experience in 2014:
Pricing: Three Power Circles (about average)
Website: Not rated
Local Agent: Five Power Circles (among the best)
Call Center Representative: Not rated
Policy Offerings: Five Power Circles (among the best)
Overall Auto Insurance Purchase Satisfaction: Four Power Circles (better than most)
2013: American Family received the rating of four power circles (better than most), scoring 841 points out of 1,000 points, which is 13 points (1.3%) above the study average score. In my opinion, based on its score in this study, I consider American Family having better than average customer satisfaction with the auto insurance purchasing satisfaction in 2013. American Family scored 4 points less in 2013, than it scored in this study for 2012.
2012: American Family received the rating of four power circles (better than most), scoring 845 points out of 1,000 points, which is 17 points (1.7%) above the regional average of 828 points on the 1,000 point scale. In my opinion, based on its point score in the 2012 study, Allstate scored enough above the average, to be considered as providing better than average customer satisfaction with the auto insurance purchasing experience.
JD Power Auto Insurance Purchase Experience Summary: American Family’s performance in this study rose from below average in 2015 to above average in 2016, with the JD Power rating for the Pricing category going from “about average” to “better than most.” American Family now seems to have better rates for many auto insurance shoppers.
However, survey opinions about auto insurance pricing are not very accurate when applied to the individual. The auto insurance company with highest rates for some — or even most — people may have the best rates for you.
For example, 8 out of 10 people contacting an insurance company for an auto insurance price quote may find higher rates than they pay now. But if this is the company saving you a lot of money on your auto insurance coverage, who cares what those 8 out of 10 people think? A single person, with a clean driving record, owning one car, in one zip code, may find one company has the most expensive car insurance rates, but a married couple, with two cars, in another zip code, may find that same company has the best rates for them. I like to see auto insurance companies rated at four or five power circles for the category of Pricing in this study, because that’s an indication the company has good rates for a broad number of potential customers contacting them for an auto insurance quote. But even the lowest rating of two power circles in the Pricing category should not stop anyone from seeing what price an auto insurance company can offer them. The auto insurance company with the highest rates for someone else may have the best rates for you.

In my opinion, based on its point score in the 2012 study, American Family scored high enough above the study average score, to be considered providing above average home insurance customer satisfaction in the USA for 2012. Only Amica scored much better in this study, scoring a huge 44 points above American Family. Erie Insurance & Auto Club of Southern California scored slightly higher (less than 1% more) than American Family. In 2012, American Family scored a much higher 32 points in this study, above what it scored in 2011.

In my opinion, based on its point score in the 2011 study, American Family scored enough above the average, to be considered providing above average home insurance customer satisfaction in the USA for 2011.
Summary: Based on the study scores from 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, & 2015, I’d consider home insurance customer satisfaction with American Family as above average. However, both Amica, Auto-Owners, & USAA have higher home insurance customer satisfaction study scores, if you are looking for the companies with the highest home insurance customer satisfaction, as measured by JD Power.

Amica was the top scoring company, scoring a huge 63 points more than American Family. Chubb was close behind, scoring 58 points more than American Family. Encompass, Country, The Hartford, & Nationwide all scored 14 points (1.4%) or more above American Family in this study. In 2013, Allstate scored 2 points higher in this study than it scored in 2012.

Summary: Based on its 1% below average performance in 2015, and its terrible performance in 2014 (2.7% below average), I’d consider homeowners insurance claims satisfaction for American Family as worse than average, in spite of its higher score (10 points or 1% better than 2015) and performance at .5% above the average in 2016.
3. American Family Insurance Companies Auto & Home Insurance Complaint Statistics & Ratings
You may really like your car or home insurance company, or you may have heard from relatives or friends about the insurance companies they think are best, but you never really know how good your insurance company will be, until you have a serious claim. A great way to evaluate an auto or home insurance company’s claims service is to look at its customer complaint record. This part of the review will show you if American Family has a better than average, average, or below average complaint record for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014.
The complaint statistics, called complaint ratios, used in this American Family Insurance review are the number of upheld complaints filed against each of the American Family companies with a state’s insurance regulatory authority, adjusted for each subsidiary’s market share, as determined by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
The complaint ratios for the American Family insurance companies listed below display the ratio of the company’s U.S. Market Share of closed complaints compared to the company’s U.S. Market Share of premiums for a specific policy type. Complaint ratios lower than “1” have less complaints than average, and complaint ratios over “1” have more complaints than average. The lower the complaint ratio, the less complaints against the company. Ideally, you want to choose an auto or home insurance company with complaint ratios less than 1.00 each year, at least over the most recent three years.
So you don’t have to worry about comparing complaint ratio numbers, I devised a rating system to help you identify if American Family has a good or poor complaint record.
Here’s how I establish my auto & homeowners insurance complaint ratings:
B = Better than average. Insurance companies with complaint ratios less than 75% of the average insurance company.
C = Average. Insurance companies with complaint ratios from 75% to 125% of the average insurance company. I use a minus sign (-) to indicate auto insurance complaint ratios slightly worse than average (1.05 to 1.25) and a plus sign (+) for auto insurance complaint ratios slightly better than average (.95 to .75).
W = Worse than average. Insurance companies with complaint ratios more than 125% of the average insurance company.
I prefer companies with the longest recent history of “B” ratings each year (or at least in the most recent three years). Companies with “B” or “C+” ratings are okay, too, particularly if they have less market share, with less than $50,000,000 in premiums for that line of insurance (auto or home) each year. I prefer to avoid companies with a consistently higher than average number of complaints, or with inconsistent complaint records, unless there are mitigating factors, such as very small market share.
