Use Of Statistics
A. An advertisement relating to the dollar amounts of claims paid, the number of persons
insured, or similar statistical information relating to any insurer or policy shall not use
irrelevant facts, and shall not be used unless it accurately reflects all of the relevant
facts. Such an advertisement shall not imply that such statistics are derived from the
policy advertised unless such is the fact, and when applicable to other policies or plans
shall specifically so state.
B. An advertisement shall not represent or imply that claim settlements by the insurer are
“liberal” or “generous”, or use words of similar import, or that claim settlements are or
will be beyond the actual terms of the contract. An unusual amount paid for a unique
claim for the policy advertised is misleading and shall not be used.
C. The source of any statistics used in an advertisement shall be identified in such
advertisement.
