CASE SUMMARY:
In this unanimous per curiam Opinion, the Court of Appeals held that an insurer’s right under §3116 to be reimbursed out of a tort recovery is subject to the one-year statute of limitations contained in §3146. In this case, the reimbursement claim was barred by the one-year rule because plaintiff failed to file the instant action within one year of the time payment was made to the claimant's subrogor, or the date plaintiff received formal denial of its claim.
