STATUTORY INDEXING:
Not Applicable

TOPICAL INDEXING:
Workers Disability Compensation Act (MCL 418.1, et seq.)   


CASE SUMMARY:   
Judge O'Brien held that a workers' compensation carrier did not have a right to intervene in any post no-fault auto accident case. His reasoning was based upon the fact that under the no-fault statute, the plaintiff could not sue for medical expenses and wage loss and, therefore, a workers' compensation carrier could not be permitted to intervene to obtain reimbursement for those types of benefits.
