Named after the Roman god of commerce and travel, Mercury General hopes to combine the two. The company is the parent of a group of insurers, including Mercury Casualty Company, that write automobile insurance for all risk classifications in about a dozen states. Plain old private auto insurance accounts for more than 80% of premiums written. However, Mercury General also sells commercial vehicle insurance and a bit of homeowners, mechanical breakdown, and fire insurance. The company sells its policies through roughly 5,700 independent agents -- with more than 1,100 each in California and Florida. Chairman George Joseph founded Mercury Casualty in 1961; he and his wife own more than 50% of the company.
