Is Metropolitan Casualty Insurance a Good Company?

Begun as an insurance company that catered to Civil War soldiers, National Union Life and Limb Insurance Company was founded in 1864. 5 Years later, the company stopped offering casualty insurance in favor of selling only life insurance, and changed their name to the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. That company is still in business today and is the parent corporation of a number of companies, including the Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Company.
