The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., commonly known as The Hartford, was founded in 1810 in Hartford, Connecticut by a group of local merchants as the Hartford Fire Insurance Company. The company survived the fire that destroyed New York’s financial district in 1835, the Chicago Fire in 1871, and the San Francisco earthquake and fire in 1906.
In 1913 the company expanded to include accident, automobile-liability, personal-damage, business-interruption, and more as the newly named, The Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company.
In 1959 the company acquired the Columbian National Life Insurance Company, therefore expanding into life insurance.
The company was bought by ITT Corporation in 1970 for $1.4 billion, which was the largest corporate takeover in history at that time. The new company was named the ITT-Hartford Group.
In 1995 ITT decided to streamline and divest itself of some of its subsidiaries, and Hartford became independent once again, trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Today The Hartford is a member of the S&P 500 as well as the Fortune 500. The company has over 22,000 employees and had $26.412 in revenue in 2012.

To whom it may concerns,
I am writing you regarding my concerns. My short term disability was supposed to be approved a few weeks ago. My doctor office stated that they sent you the information on December 14,2016. What other doctor notes are you expecting? I am sick and I am unable to work. I will report you to the better business bureau for unprofessionalism and attempt murder. Are you expecting me to return to work and pass out so the state can pick up my corps ????Anyway please ensure you approve my disability asap. I am going to be contacting your CEO or have my attorney deal with you. I am not messing with anyone at this tough time in my life. I lost my youngest brother on October 1,2015. I am still in pain for never knowing my biological father. I have been abused by my step father and biological mother. What exactly is it that you need me to tell you that I am dealing with many personal issues in my apartment. The Landlord has been harassing since July 2016. I need peace of mind. Home hope we can resolved this issue peacefully or else don’t be surprised with the outcome of what happens to you…
