STATUTORY INDEXING:
Determining Serious Impairment of Body Function as a Matter of Law (DiFranco Era – 1987-1995) [§3135(1)]
TOPICAL INDEXING:
Not Applicable
CASE SUMMARY:
In this unanimous per curiam Opinion, the Court of Appeals affirmed a jury no cause in favor of defendant on the issue of serious impairment of body function.
Significantly, the Court of Appeals reviewed the record in this pre-DiFranco jury trial and concluded that reasonable minds could differ as to the issue of serious impairment of body function, and therefore, the trial court was held to have properly denied plaintiff’s motion for a directed verdict. The Court of Appeals did not describe the nature or extent of plaintiff’s injuries in its decision.
