State Farm has been a local company in the small town I grew up in and employs local community members, thus, my family has trusted them to draft up life insurance policies to cover the unforeseeable future. We take comfort in the small town experience run by a major company. We have always been well respected and have never had any issues with State Farm. I have been a satisfied customer investing in life insurance, rental insurance, and car insurance.

The Final Word
Ladder also has a quick application and decision process. People applying for up to $3,000,000 in coverage will not have to have a medical exam for underwriting. However, they'll need to answer health questions as part of the application. A medical exam may be required for applicants seeking more than $3,000,000 in coverage. Its agents are also salaried, so there is no upselling, which is a nice feature for clients.
State Farm offers term, whole, universal, variable universal life insurance policies. It also offers group life insurance policies that employers can offer their employers. These offerings make State Farm advantageous for employers and those interested in a permanent life insurance policy.
In contrast, Ladder’s life insurance policies are issued through Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York. These companies have all received high financial ratings.* The policies are also reinsured through multiple reinsurers, that have high financial ratings.
