State Insurance Bureaus Map

New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer has appeared on NOW several times. Most recently, he talks about taking on the insurance industry. While there is no federal regulation of the insurance companies, at least a dozen states are now investigating insurance brokerages. The Department of Insurance in each state serves as the industry watchdog for consumer protection. Below, find a link to your state's Department of Insurance online. Most sites allow state residents to find about their rights as a consumer, register a complaint against an insurance company, and search for an insurance agency.
