Five Safeco subsidiaries have been fined more than $430,000 in total for several violations of Connecticut’s insurance law. Among the violations were the company’s use of unlicensed casualty adjusters.

A release from the Connecticut Department of Insurance (CDOI) stated that while the violations varied by company, there were consistent violations related to instances of unlicensed adjusters and agents not appointed.
