CASE SUMMARY:
In this Motion for Summary Judgment, Judge Watts ruled that a child residing with her mother, who at the time of the accident was separated from the insured, nonadoptive stepfather, could recover no-fault benefits under the policy issued to the stepfather. The decision was based upon the policy enunciated in Bierbusse v Farmers Insurance Company (item number 90). Defendant, Auto Owners, has filed an appeal.
