CASE SUMMARY:
In this unanimous per curiam Opinion, the Court of Appeals rejected plaintiff’s constitutional challenge to §3106(2) precluding recovery to an employee who sustains injury in the course of unloading a parked vehicle.
The Court of Appeals noted that this identical issue had been addressed in Babbitt v Employers Insurance (Item No. 756), and that the statutory language had been upheld as constitutional.
The injury in this case occurred in 1982, prior to the further limiting amendment to §3106(2) by 1986 PA 318, effective June 1, 1987.
