Richmond, VA, July 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Virginia Farm Bureau Insurance today announces it has been included in the Ward’s 50, a prestigious listing of the top property and casualty insurance companies in the United States.
Each year, the Ward Group – a leader of benchmarking and best practices for the insurance industry – analyzes the financial performance of more than 3,100 property-casualty insurance companies and 800 life-health insurance firms based in the United States. The top 50 in each category are chosen based on safety, consistency and performance over a five-year period (2004-08).
