Storm climate
Why Michigan sees so many storm claims
The Great Lakes states get the full range of severe weather: spring and summer supercells bring hail and damaging straight-line winds, occasional tornadoes track through, and winter piles on ice and heavy snow load. Wind and hail are the roof claims that recur every season. Across Michigan's 83 counties, the roofs most exposed to wind and hail see the heaviest claim volume during the spring–summer severe season.

Michigan claim deadline
Filing deadlines & deductibles in Michigan
Reporting: Report storm damage to your insurer promptly, most policies require notice 'as soon as practicable' after the loss.
Deadline: The deadline to file and to sue on a property claim is set by your policy and your state's law, and varies widely. Don't wait: read your policy's 'suit against us' / claim-reporting clause and confirm with your state insurance department.
Deductibles: Many policies in storm-prone areas use a separate wind/hail deductible, a percentage (commonly 1%–5%) of your dwelling limit rather than a flat dollar amount. Check your declarations page.
General information, not legal advice — verify with Your state's Department of Insurance (search '[state] department of insurance storm claim'). For the full picture, read our claim time limits by state and roof deductibles guides.
