Motor Vehicle Litigation / January 13, 2017

Court/Case No: Wayne County Circuit Court/15-000804-NI

Tried/Argued Before: Judge

Demand: $100,000

Verdict: $0.00 Summary Disposition granted

Name of Judge(s): Honorable John A. Murphy

Keys to the Case:

Detailed briefing, thorough research, and expertise in interpreting the No-Fault Act and recent precedents such as Barnes v Farmers Ins Exchange, 308 Mich App 1 (2014) enabled defense counsel to establish that the plaintiff’s failure to insure her own motor vehicle was, under MCL 500.3113(b), fatal to her claim for PIP benefits, where the plaintiff was injured while operating that vehicle and the only insurance was obtained by someone without an ownership interest in it.
