CASE SUMMARY:
In a very short unpublished per curiam Opinion with little discussion or reasoning, the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant on plaintiff’s claim of serious impairment of body function. The only description of plaintiff s injury appears in the following sentence of the opinion, "in her deposition, plaintiff testified that as a result of the accident she could no longer swim, she was 'limited on' knitting and embroidery, she could no longer pick up her grandchildren, and she had 'a lot of limitations as far as housework goes' because she could not reach and stretch, she had to hold coffee cups with both hands to avoid dropping them, she could no longer go to the park, and she had difficulty sitting." Without any explanation, the Court of Appeals held that plaintiff’s injuries did not satisfy the threshold requirement as a matter of law.
