Complaint ratio is a measure of quality of an insurance company

While 68% of all complaints concerned denial or low settlement offers, it is important to note that these situations are stressful.

While this may seem unfair, it’s the only way to ensure a quality insurance company.

The study used a cross-sectional survey design with a sample of 150 insurance panel members who had lodged complaints within the previous 12 months.

Complaint satisfaction was measured along with respondents’ trust in the insurance company. These variables were correlated using regression analysis and factor analysis.
