Demand: $86,000.00
Verdict: $0.00 Summary Disposition granted

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 his own motor vehicle was, under MCL 500.3113(b), fatal to his claim for PIP benefits, where the plaintiff was injured while an occupant of that vehicle and the only insurance was obtained by someone without an ownership interest in it.
