                              SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN
                               SEPTEMBER 15, 2005

Meadowbrook Insurance Group, Inc. (NYSE/MIG) today reported that, although
potential claims information is very preliminary, the Company does not expect
its net losses to be significant.

Meadowbrook President and Chief Executive Officer Robert S. Cubbin commented,
"We expect no material financial impact from Hurricane Katrina. Generally, our
insurance programs are structured to avoid geographic concentration of risks
that might lead to natural or intentionally caused catastrophic events."

Meadowbrook has added links to its website for its existing policyholders and
claimants to establish contact with designated claims personnel for the
Company's insurance company subsidiaries: Star Insurance Company, Savers
Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Williamsburg National Insurance Company,
and Ameritrust Insurance Corporation.

Meadowbrook's insurance company subsidiaries will temporarily refrain from
issuing cancellation notices for premium payments not received from its (direct
bill) policyholders in the affected areas of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.
Mr. Cubbin elaborated, "We will be working with our agents in these areas to
assist in supporting our insureds. Also, we will comply with any mandates issued
by the relevant state insurance departments."

Finally, to assist with the aid needed for the Red Cross, Meadowbrook employees
are raising relief funds which will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Company.
