ERIE, Pa., Oct. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Erie Insurance has been awarded first place in the 2018 U.S. Auto Claims Satisfaction Study by J.D. Power. The study focuses on personal auto insurance customer satisfaction among drivers who receive a physical damage or total loss claims settlement.

ERIE's overall satisfaction score rose by ten points, now 30 points above the industry average, taking the company up from third place in 2017.
