If something goes wrong with an insurer
Complaints about a carrier or an agent go to the Virginia State Corporation Commission — Bureau of Insurance . It regulates every insurer and producer licensed in the state, and filing a complaint is free.
You can also check whether an agent is properly licensed there before you buy — something worth doing regardless of where you found them.
