Workers’ comp: You have to have it.

And MDA Insurance leads the way.

Employers must carry workers’ comp insurance in Michigan but there can be big differences in cost and service between carriers. MDA Insurance delivers the best of both. With many workers’ comp policies renewing Jan. 1, now is the best time to see how much you can save. Call MDA Insurance at 800-860-2272 or visit mdaprograms.com to request a quote.
