CASE SUMMARY:
The court held that the property damage provisions of the no-fault law which abolish tort liability for property damage to motor vehicles and which also excludes such damage from property protection insurance benefits, is an unreasonable, arbitrary and unconstitutional scheme. Under the statute, individuals must purchase collision insurance in order to protect their vehicles. The court held that the legislative purpose for adequate and timely relief is not served by the elimination of tort remedies in damaged vehicle claims.
