"The right answer for Dealer's
workers' compensation insurance in
Michigan since 1980"

 

MADSIF :

MADSIF is a Dealer owned Group Self-Insured Workers' Compensation Fund organized and operated by Michigan dealers for Michigan dealers. Established in 1980, the Fund's primary goal is to control the costs of insurance over a long-term period. Aggressive claims administration, low overhead costs, pro-active loss control services and the dividend program all contribute to the achievement of that goal.

TESTIMONIALS :

Our members find the services of the MADSIF program to be helpful, economical and most importantly, cost effective. Here's what just a few of our members are saying.

  ROD ALBERTS
Executive Vice President
Detroit Automobile Dealers Association

"MADSIF has been one of the best and most successful ventures for dealers in insurance. Through its long-term growth and success, MADSIF has saved dealers a great deal on insurance premiums and the cost of claims. One of the things that really helps make MADSIF work for the dealers is that it is totally owned and controlled by dealers.

We at DADA have enjoyed working with MADSIF to put programs together that really help the dealers in their day-to-day operations -- programs such as the MSDS library and the new bottle labeling system. Our members really appreciate all that MADSIF has to offer."


Richard S. Genthe
Dick Genthe Chevrolet, Southgate

"I have compared our fund performance with several other programs... some may offer a short term gain during the intial year, nothing compares with ours over a 5 year period."


Randy Hosler
Randy Hosler Pontiac, Clarkston

"In a world that gets more complex everyday, MADSIF is one of the few 'no-brainers' left."


Bob Allen
Matthews-Hargreaves Chevrolet, Royal Oak

"Since the start of this fund, our costs, claims and injuries dropped dramatically - resulting in ever-increasing dividends."


Conrad M. Nason
Bob Sellers Pontiac-GMC, Farmington Hills

"...everything from claims administration services to extensive cost savings, dividends, etc., have been much to our advantage."


Kaye Ervin
Mel Ervin Ford, Chesaning

"We advised anyone considering MADSIF to not linger but make the move."


M.C. Walker
Fairlane Ford, Dearborn

"The claims administrators make every attempt to help the legitimate claim but work very hard to minimize and control frivolous and fraudelent claims."
