We’ve talked about auto insurance reform in Michigan a few times on this show. I can remember back to a beautiful day on the porch of the Grand Hotel on Mackinac a little over a year ago, when I was with Governor Gretchen Whitmer and our legislative leaders who were hailing a deal that was supposed to save Michiganders money - which is a top concern among residents as we in Detroit and statewide pay the most for vehicle insurance in the nation. At the time, there was a lot of excitement by media pundits and politicians, mostly repeating talking points without really looking into the numbers. Lots of back-patting. Now that the reform has taken effect, it’s a confusing mess. What coverage should people get? You might pay less on your auto insurance, but more with health insurance. And the reforms for equity? Sure, insurance companies can't use zip codes, but they can use territories to define your rates. They can't use your credit score per se, but they can use your credit report. And depending on your specific situation, your choices are going to be different.  So Attorney Todd Berg of Michigan Auto Law joins me to unpack this. The firm has been ranked by U.S. News and World Report as among the Best Law Firms in America in the practice area of Personal Injury Litigation for Plaintiffs.

Hello Detroit. I’m back from Michigan’s vacation wonderland and here to report about the efforts that many vacationers appear not to be taking to safeguard themselves and others against the coronavirus. Based on my experience, I’d recommend limiting your visits to businesses and other public spaces if you’re planning to head Up North. And wear a mask! Other things you’ll hear on today’s show: The 2020 Woodward Dream Cruise is officially canceled. What does that mean? We discuss the latest COVID-19 numbers from the state of Michigan. Detroit police are investigating after one of their officers drove an SUV through a crowd of protesters over the weekend. Ford unveiled its redesigned F-150 pickup truck for 2021, while Lordstown Motors revealed its production Endurance, which aims to be the first battery-electric pickup on the market. And I add my thoughts about Rivian moving operations from Detroit to California. We discuss some of the region’s most dangerous intersections from 2019, based on this post from Michigan Auto Law. And we’ve got an update about the dot, Ferndale’s big mixed-use parking structure, after two months of construction went on pause. Thanks for listening to Daily Detroit.

Perhaps you’ve heard that, because people are driving so much less and accident claims have plummeted during the coronavirus lockdown, your benevolent automobile insurance carrier is planning to give you a big wet kiss in the form of a refund. Well, our guest today not only gives us the lowdown on why this might be happening, but he suggests that in reality, it’ll more likely be a credit rather than a check for cash. Steven Gursten is the managing partner at Michigan Auto Law. He tells us that the amounts insurers are promising to refund pales in comparison with the decrease in actual driving and, likely, accident claims. Meaning they’re seeing a windfall at this time when claims are way down and they’re enjoying a reprieve from court cases stemming from accident claims. Also today: Oakland County will begin offering drive-through COVID-19 tests at the county complex at 1200 N. Telegraph Road. You don’t need a prescription, but you do need to schedule an appointment by calling 1-800-848-5533. And, it's the 60th Anniversary of the incorporation of Motown Records. Sven and Jer share a couple of their favorites.  Support the show: http://www.patreon.com/dailydetroit

Our guest on the podcast today is Steve Gursten. He’s the head of Michigan Auto Law and has been named one of Michigan’s top lawyers by multiple publications. Today’s episode is a response to many listeners who are seeing their auto insurance rates go up in metro Detroit, anywhere from 10 to 30 percent.  That’s in stark contrast to what politicians, including Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Republican Senate Majority Leader Michael Shirkey and promised on the big porch on Mackinac Island earlier this year.  They were reacting to mounting public pressure to do something about auto insurance rates. But so far, it seems that it’s turning out to be more selfies than substance. Our guest says that things like redlining and gender discrimination will continue, all legally. Gursten lays out a case that Michigan elected leaders basically got outplayed by Lansing lobbyists, leading to a situation where affordable car insurance, especially in the city of Detroit, isn’t going to be a thing.

On today’s pod, we cover a bunch of transportation-related news. First up: Rivian, the electric vehicle startup we’ve covered in a Detroit Public Television segment and on this pod, may get a big investment from Amazon and General Motors. We discuss how that could be a huge boost for the company as it eyes the launch of its first vehicle in fall 2020. But what does it say about GM and Amazon? Next, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan was in Lansing today to talk auto insurance reform. As a reminder, Michigan has the nation’s most expensive car insurance. Republicans have signaled the issue as a priority for the current legislative session, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has signaled an openness to working on it. As a refresher, check out our interview with Steven Gursten of Michigan Auto Law a while back on the state’s no-fault law and Duggan’s lawsuit. Completing our transportation trifecta was Gov. Whitmer’s discussion of the need to “fix the damn roads” in last night’s State of the State address, her first. Republicans are even starting to come around to the idea that more revenue may be needed to fix our dismal roads and bridges. Could toll roads be one solution? Whitmer also discussed wanting to strengthen civil rights protections for gay and transgender people in her SOS speech, and she targeted the practice of making controversial legislation referendum-proof. We talk about both of those proposals. In other news: Detroit City FC have announced a preseason friendly match against NCAA College Cup semifinalists Michigan State University on April 20 And two Detroit-area eateries have yanked CBD oils off their menus

Dan Gilbert made headlines this week when he issued an ultimatum to state lawmakers: Find a fix for Michigan's broken no-fault auto insurance system by mid-2019 or I'll bankroll an effort to put a proposal on the statewide ballot in 2020. On today's show, Jer interviews Jared Fleisher, vice president of government relations for the Quicken Loans Family of Companies, about why Gilbert and Quicken are jumping into the fray. Fleisher, who is running point for Gilbert's push to overhaul no-fault, says Quicken has 17,000 employees working in the city and has invested $3.5 billion to date in Detroit. He calls auto insurance reform "the single biggest but also most solvable barrier to the growth of the city." He also draws a comparison between Michigan's no-fault auto insurance system and the much-criticized Obamacare health overhaul. Fleisher says that while the Affordable Care Act requires people to buy insurance, it offers them a choice of benefit levels to pay for. Michigan's auto insurance law similarly requires that every driver be covered, but it essentially forces everyone to buy the top-tier "platinum" level of benefits. We spoke last month on the pod with attorney Steve Gursten, the head of Michigan Auto Law, all about Michigan's no-fault auto insurance system and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan's recent federal lawsuit accusing it of being unconstitutional. Gursten argues that Duggan's suit has a real chance of prevailing, but he says it's tough to know how to fix the law without more transparency into insurance company practices. Many previous efforts to reform Michigan's no-fault system have run into a brick wall, but now it seems no-fault may be on a collision course with the forces of change.
