CASE SUMMARY:
In a summary judgment Order without Opinion, Judge Michael Stacey held that pursuant to §3163 of the No-Fault Act, a foreign insurance company filing a certification in the State of Michigan must provide no-fault insurance benefits to its foreign insureds who are injured in motor vehicle accidents in the State of Michigan, even though the foreign insureds were not occupants of motor vehicles at the time of their injury. Thus, where the out of state plaintiffs sustain injury in an automobile accident occurring in Michigan while they are pedestrians, they must claim their no-fault benefits from their own out of state insurance carrier who insures their private automobile.
