CASE SUMMARY:
In a lawsuit summarized in a letter to the author, a Circuit Court jury in St. Clair County rendered a verdict in the amount of $57,200 in a first party no-fault lawsuit, which verdict included an award of $50,000 for mental anguish. The case involved, in part, the failure of a no-fault company to advise their insureds of the existence of PIP benefits due under a no-fault policy, including the availability of replacement service expenses and survivors' work loss benefits.
