FLINT TOWNSHIP, MI - A former Genesee County insurance agent has been sentenced to prison for embezzling more than $90,000 from her clients and providing them with phony insurance certificates, leading them to believe they had insurance for their homes or cars when they actually didn’t.

In 2013, the department summarily suspended Swain’s insurance producer license and permanently revoked it in December 2014 for misappropriating client’s premiums, the state said.

Michigans auto insurance law changes tomorrow -- Are you ready?

DETROIT Michigan drivers should have the choice of cutting their auto insurance costs starting this week. Michigan lawmakers approved bipartisan auto insurance reform legislation last spring aimed at cutting costs for Michigan drivers who have paid the highest insurance rates in the country. This gives drivers a choice regarding level of coverage -- but they will likely have to take action. And under the new law the 20% of Michiganders who are currently driving without insurance will be able to get legal without facing a penalty. Insurance Alliance of Michigan member companies are committed to doing their part to educate their customers about the upcoming changes to Michigans auto no-fault law and helping drivers find the right plan for them and their family.

Whitmer: Michiganders can expect auto insurance savings

The projected PIP savings are based on the first six auto insurance company filings approved by the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services. Gretchen Whitmer says Michigan motorists, on average, can expect big savings on a key part of their auto insurance bills. Filings from Michigan auto insurance companies show savings for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage that not only equals, but exceeds, the savings promised under an auto insurance reform package signed into law in May 2019, Whitmer said in a news release. The projected PIP savings are based on the first six auto insurance company filings approved by the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services, representing one quarter of Michigan's auto insurance market, the release said. Last year, we worked across the aisle to pass a historic, bipartisan auto insurance reform to bring down costs for drivers everywhere.
