Michigan Claim Deadlines
| What | Rule | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Proof-of-loss notice | MCL 500.2006 requires a Michigan insurer to put its documentation requests in writing within 30 days of your claim, unless it has already paid you. | Michigan Compiled Laws 500.2006, via Michigan Legislature |
| Payment and interest | The same law gives the insurer 60 days after that to issue payment, and attaches 12% yearly interest to any late payment that is not genuinely in dispute. | Michigan Compiled Laws 500.2006, via Michigan Legislature |
| Appraisal on a disputed amount | If you and the insurer disagree only on the amount, MCL 500.2833 lets either side demand appraisal under a Michigan fire or homeowners policy, with 20 days to name an appraiser and an umpire chosen by the two appraisers. | Michigan Compiled Laws 500.2833, via Michigan Legislature |
| Sewer-backup notice to a government agency | Michigan law treats a sewer or drain backup from a government agency differently: MCL 691.1419 sets a 45-day window, starting at discovery of the damage, to send written notice. | Michigan Compiled Laws 691.1419, via Michigan Legislature |
What We Do, and What We Don't
Extraction, drying, and a documented record are our part of the job. The adjuster gets our photos, readings and invoice, and we answer questions about the work we performed. Your agent or insurer decides what the policy covers.
Questions people ask us
Is it okay to dry the area before the adjuster shows up?
Yes. Photograph it first, then dry it, and let your insurer know the same day. Insurers expect reasonable steps to limit the loss.
Will my policy pay for flood damage?
Most homeowners policies exclude flood water from outside the home. That needs its own flood policy. Check with your agent on your specific coverage.
