CASE SUMMARY:
In a holding identical to the one rendered in Kill v Nationwide (item number 277) Judge Kelley held in a written Opinion Order that pursuant to §3163 of the Act, a foreign insurance company authorized to do business in Michigan must pay no-fault PIP benefits to its out of state insureds who sustain bodily injury in an automobile accident occurring in the State of Michigan, regardless of whether or not the foreign insureds were occupying or not occupying a motor vehicle. In this case, the plaintiffs (Ohio residents) were injured while riding a motorcycle that was involved in an automobile accident in Michigan. They were entitled to recover their no-fault benefits from their own insurance company which insured their personal vehicle in Ohio.
