Michigan Claim Deadlines
| What | Rule | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Proof-of-loss notice | Under MCL 500.2006, an insurer that does not pay a claim right away must send written notice within 30 days spelling out exactly what proof of loss it still needs. | Michigan Compiled Laws 500.2006, via Michigan Legislature |
| Payment and interest | After that notice is satisfied, the insurer has 60 days to cut the check. The same statute adds a penalty: 12% yearly interest on any part paid late, as long as the delay was not a fair dispute. | Michigan Compiled Laws 500.2006, via Michigan Legislature |
| Appraisal on a disputed amount | MCL 500.2833 lets either the homeowner or the insurer invoke appraisal on a Michigan fire or homeowners policy. Each side picks its own appraiser within 20 days, and those two appraisers pick an umpire to settle the final number. | Michigan Compiled Laws 500.2833, via Michigan Legislature |
| Sewer-backup notice to a government agency | A claim against a government agency for a sewer or drain backup has its own clock: MCL 691.1419 requires written notice within 45 days of finding the damage. | Michigan Compiled Laws 691.1419, via Michigan Legislature |
What We Do for Your Claim
Our job is the extraction, the drying, and the written record of both. Your adjuster gets our photos, moisture readings and invoice, and we'll answer questions about the work itself. What your policy covers and what it pays is between you, your agent and your insurer.
Questions people ask us
Should I wait for the adjuster before drying starts?
No. Insurers generally expect you to limit further damage. Take photos first, start drying, and call your insurer that same day.
Is flood water covered under a standard policy?
Usually not. Outside flood water is typically excluded from a homeowners policy, and needs its own flood policy. Confirm with your agent what yours actually covers.
