WARREN, N.J., May 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Chubb Group of Insurance Companies was ranked as the highest quality provider of primary casualty as well as management and professional liability claims services in the 2015 Advisen Claims Satisfaction Survey.

The survey of 544 risk manager and broker respondents identified the top three providers of claims services in three insurance lines: primary casualty (automobile liability, general liability and workers compensation); management and professional liability; and property. The evaluation was based on a variety of claims handling best practices. Chubb was ranked as the second highest quality provider of property claims services.

In announcing the survey results, Advisen co-founder David Bradford, said, "At its core, an insurance policy is little more than a promise to pay claims. This study provides valuable insight into how well insurers are fulfilling that promise. This is enormously valuable information for brokers as they advise their clients, and for risk managers who are interacting with carrier claims departments and [third party administrators]."

"Chubb is proud to be recognized by the risk management and broker community as setting the bar for commercial claims handling practices," said Mark Korsgaard, executive vice president and worldwide claim officer for Chubb. "Although an insurance contract is a promise to pay when a covered loss occurs, it doesn't provide an assurance that the claims experience will be extraordinary. At Chubb, we remain focused on handling every claim with integrity, empathy, promptness, expertise and fairness--from the first notice of loss to final resolution."
