What Safety Insurance does

Regional insurer selling personal and commercial auto and homeowners insurance mainly in Massachusetts.

Collects premiums up front and pays claims later, so profit depends on pricing policies to cover claims, and Massachusetts rules on auto-insurance rates shape the economics. It sells through independent agents, and investment income on the premiums held adds to results.
