Dan Karr is Founder and CEO of ValChoice. After being struck by a car while riding his bicycle, Dan, a former Silicon Valley executive, was hit with nearly $100,000 in medical bills that neither his auto nor health insurance companies would pay. The experience left Dan determined to change the way consumers buy their auto insurance so that no one else would have to go through the same ordeal. That’s when Dan founded Valchoice, an online service that provides consumers, agents and advisors with information on which home and auto insurance companies offer the best value in price, protection, claims handling, and services.
