Your Coverage Options, Explained Without the Jargon

Liability Coverage

Covers injuries or property damage to others when you’re at fault. This one’s required—but skimping on limits could leave your wallet exposed.

Collision Coverage

Helps repair or replace your vehicle after a crash, even if it’s your fault. Because accidents happen to good drivers, too.

Comprehensive Coverage

Covers damage from non-crash events—think hailstorms, deer strikes, theft, or fire. Yes, even “rogue shopping cart in a windstorm” qualifies.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Medical coverage for you and your passengers, no matter who caused the accident. It’s required in Michigan and can also cover lost wages and rehab.

Property Protection Insurance (PPI)

Pays for damage your vehicle causes to other people’s property—like buildings, parked cars, or someone’s prized garden gnome.

Residual Liability Coverage

Kicks in when you’re driving out of state or in rare cases where someone sues you after a crash. Michigan requires it. We make sure you’ve got it.

Uninsured/ Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Protects you if another driver hits you and they don’t have insurance—or enough of it.

Emergency Roadside Assistance

Flat tire? Dead battery? Locked out? We’ve got you. This add-on keeps minor mishaps from becoming major headaches.

Michigan Car Insurance Laws

Michigan is a no-fault state, which means your own insurance covers medical bills and wage loss no matter who caused the accident. The state requires:

You can adjust some of these coverages based on your personal health insurance or needs. Not sure what to choose? We’ll help you sort it out—and make it make sense.
