Less than a month after Farmers Direct Insurance filed for a hefty rate increase on West Virginia auto liability policies, Progressive has followed suit with an almost identical request.
The West Virginia insurance commissioner posted a bulletin Tuesday, noting that Progressive Classic Insurance Co. is asking for a 19.78% average increase in rates, affecting more than 31,500 motorists. In December, Farmers Direct Property and Casualty Insurance Co. requested a 19.9% average increase.
