In this unpublished opinion, the Court of Appeals determined (1) Plaintiff’s medical records were properly considered as evidence of fraud after the commencement of litigation, not in violation of Williamson; (2) Plaintiff’s November 4, 2019, application for benefits was a statement of a party opponent under MCR 801(d)(2), and should not be excluded under MRE 803(6) due to a lack of trustworthiness; and (3) there is no intent element in MCL 500.3173a(4).
