At least they weren’t ranked as the worst insurance company for consumers. (That award goes to Allstate.) Long Term Disability Insurer-Unum was ranked second from worst in a recent study cited by the SunHerald.com. Despite agreeing to pay a massive fine and review thousands of its Long Term Disability claims decisions in a Multi-State Regulatory Settlement Agreement, Unum was still ranked near the absolute bottom of insurers.

According to the article Unum earned a profit in 2007 of more than 679 million dollars while paying its CEO a whopping 7.3 million dollars. Unum was joined in the study by Allstate, AIG, State Farm and Conseco as the most anti-consumer insurance companies in the U.S.
