Michigan Claim Deadlines
| What | Rule | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Proof-of-loss notice | MCL 500.2006 requires your insurer to notify you in writing, within 30 days of your claim, of any proof of loss it still needs, unless it has already paid the claim. | Michigan Compiled Laws 500.2006, via Michigan Legislature |
| Payment and interest | After that proof is in, the insurer has 60 days under the same statute to pay, and a payment delayed past that window without a real dispute draws 12% simple interest per year. | Michigan Compiled Laws 500.2006, via Michigan Legislature |
| Appraisal on a disputed amount | Either you or your insurer can invoke the appraisal clause under MCL 500.2833 when the settlement number is in dispute: each side writes in, names an appraiser within 20 days, and the two appraisers choose an umpire to resolve the gap. | 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 only survives under MCL 691.1419 if you send written notice to that agency within 45 days of discovering the damage. | Michigan Compiled Laws 691.1419, via Michigan Legislature |
What We Do, and What We Don't
We take the water out, dry what's left, and keep a photo and moisture record of every step. That file goes to your adjuster with our invoice. Coverage decisions and settlement amounts stay with your agent, your insurer, or a public adjuster.
Questions Callers Ask Most
What if the adjuster hasn't seen it yet?
Start drying anyway, after photographing the damage. Most policies expect you to limit the loss, and you should notify your insurer the same day.
Does a homeowners policy pay for flood water?
Generally no. Outside flood water is a common exclusion, covered instead by a separate flood policy. Your agent can confirm your own coverage.
