Rock chip on I-75. Now what?

Glass damage falls under comprehensive coverage, and the practical question is whether the repair costs less than your deductible. A chip repair often does. A full replacement on a vehicle with a camera-equipped windshield often doesn't — and those now need recalibration, which adds real cost.

Here's how the deductible works, when to repair versus replace, and the glass coverage option worth asking about.

Coverage A. HO-3. ACV. Ordinance or law. Sewer backup rider.

Your homeowners policy is written in a language nobody teaches, and most people sign it without a translation.

So we wrote one. Every term that shows up on a Michigan homeowners declarations page, explained in plain English — what it means, what it limits, and which ones are worth a second look at renewal.

Bookmark it before your next renewal.

Comprehensive or collision? The simplest way to keep them straight:

Collision is when you hit something. Comprehensive is when something happens to you.

Deer, hail, a tree limb, theft, a rock through the windshield, flood — that's comprehensive. Another car, a guardrail, a mailbox — that's collision.

They carry separate deductibles, and in Michigan the deer question alone makes this worth understanding before you need to file.

Property insurance rebuilds the building. It doesn't replace the income you lose while it's being rebuilt.

That's what business interruption coverage does — and it's the piece most owners discover they misunderstood after a fire, not before.

Three terms decide what you actually collect: the waiting period, the period of restoration, and whether you have extra expense and civil authority coverage. We explain all three in plain English.

The two questions every parent asks about life insurance: how much, and what kind.

The "how much" isn't a gut feel — it's income replacement years, the mortgage balance, childcare through the youngest kid's independence, and college if that's on the table. The "what kind" comes down to term versus permanent, and for most parents with young children the honest answer is simpler and cheaper than they expect.

Here's how to run the number.

Michigan is a strict liability state for dog bites.

That means there's no "one free bite." If your dog bites someone who was lawfully on your property and didn't provoke it, you're liable — first incident included.

Homeowners insurance generally covers it under personal liability. Generally. Breed exclusions, prior-incident exclusions, and liability limits all come into play, and plenty of owners don't know which of those apply to them.

Worth knowing before, not after.

EVs changed the repair math, and insurance is still catching up.

A moderate collision that would have been a bumper and a fender on a gas car can total an EV, because the battery pack sits low and replacing it approaches the value of the vehicle. Specialized parts, certified shops, and longer repair timelines all follow.

If you're driving a Tesla or any EV in Michigan, here's what your policy should look like — including why umbrella coverage comes up more often than you'd think.

There's what Michigan legally requires a contractor to carry, and there's what will actually keep you working.

Those are two different lists.

The state requires less than most people assume. Your clients, GCs, and the municipalities pulling your permits require considerably more — and they'll ask for proof before you set foot on the job.

We laid out both: the legal minimum, and what you'll actually be asked for.

"The association covers the building, so I barely need anything."

That's true right up until you read the master policy.

Most master policies stop at the studs — meaning your cabinets, flooring, fixtures, and improvements are yours to insure. And when the association takes a big loss, it can assess every unit owner for the shortfall. Loss assessment coverage is what pays that bill instead of you.

Here's what your HO-6 actually needs to do.

The driver who hits you decides how much protection you have. Unless you bought UM/UIM.

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage pays when the at-fault driver has no insurance, or carries a minimum limit that doesn't come close to covering serious injuries. In Michigan it's optional — which is exactly why so many people don't have it, and don't know it.

It's typically one of the least expensive things on the policy and one of the most important.
