Michigan auto insurance
How does Michigan's no-fault PIP choice work?
Michigan drivers can choose a Personal Injury Protection medical coverage level: unlimited, up to $500,000, up to $250,000, up to $50,000 for eligible Medicaid enrollees, or an opt-out for eligible drivers with qualifying Medicare coverage. Each option has eligibility rules, so we review your household's health coverage before you decide.
What is the Michigan mini-tort?
If you're at fault in an accident, Michigan law allows the other driver to seek reimbursement for their out-of-pocket vehicle damage up to a set limit. Some auto policies include coverage options that can help with mini-tort claims — ask us how yours works.
What's the difference between limited, standard and broad form collision?
These Michigan collision options mainly differ in when you pay your deductible and whether you're covered when you're at fault. We'll explain the tradeoffs so you can choose what fits your budget and risk comfort.
Does comprehensive cover hitting a deer?
In general, collisions with animals like deer fall under comprehensive coverage rather than collision. Deer crashes are common in Mid-Michigan, especially in the fall, so it's worth confirming your coverage and deductible.
How can I lower my car insurance in Saginaw?
Options can include bundling auto with home or renters, reviewing your deductibles, adjusting coverage on older vehicles and asking about available Farmers discounts. Eligibility varies, so the best first step is a coverage review with us.
Home, renters & flood
Does homeowners insurance cover flooding in Saginaw?
Standard homeowners policies typically exclude flood damage. Because Saginaw sits along the Saginaw River system, many homeowners consider separate flood insurance. Flood policies often have a waiting period, so it's smart to ask well before spring.
Are frozen pipes and ice dams covered?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the damage. Sudden water damage is often treated differently than damage from gradual leaks or lack of maintenance. We'll help you understand how your policy handles Michigan winter claims.
Do I really need renters insurance?
Your landlord's policy generally covers the building, not your belongings or your personal liability. Renters insurance can help cover your stuff after events like fire or theft, and it's often more affordable than people expect.
Can you help me get insurance before closing on a house?
Yes. Most lenders require proof of homeowners insurance before closing. Call us as soon as you have an accepted offer so we can review coverage options and help you meet your lender's timeline.
Life, business & more
What's the difference between term and whole life insurance?
Term life generally covers you for a set period, such as 10, 20 or 30 years. Whole life is permanent coverage that can also build cash value. Universal life offers more flexibility. We'll help you compare based on your goals.
What business insurance does a small business in Saginaw need?
It depends on your business, but common coverages include general liability, commercial property, commercial auto and workers' compensation if you have employees. We'll look at your operation and help build a package that fits.
Can you insure my boat, RV or ATV?
Yes. We can help with coverage options for boats and personal watercraft, RVs and motor homes, travel trailers, ATVs, off-road vehicles, motorcycles and classic cars.
What is umbrella insurance and do I need it?
A personal umbrella policy provides extra liability coverage above your auto and home policy limits. It may be worth considering if you have significant assets, a teen driver, a pool, or rental property.
How do I file a claim?
You can report a claim through Farmers online or by phone 24/7, and you can always call our office at 989-644-0155 during business hours for help with the process.
