CASE SUMMARY:  
In a case of first impression, the Court of Appeals held that an employee who was injured while occupying a vehicle owned by his employer that was not insured, could collect no-fault benefits from his own no-fault carrier. The Court stated, "Mathis v Interstate [item number 292] does not preclude an employee from recovering from his own no-fault carrier when he is injured in his employer's vehicle and that vehicle is not insured."
