CASE SUMMARY:
In this unanimous per curiam Opinion, the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s finding that plaintiff was not entitled to work loss benefits under the No-Fault Act because he already suffered from a work-related lower back condition that made him unable to work on the date of the motor vehicle accident.
The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision requiring plaintiff to reimburse no-fault benefits plus interest.
