Nature of Survivor’s Loss Benefits [§3108(1)]
TOPICAL INDEXING:
Not Applicable
CASE SUMMARY:
In a per curiam Opinion, the Court of Appeals held that the statutory requirement in §3108 that replacement service expenses be incurred "justified recovery to the extent of amounts expended or for which one has become liable." Thus, a widow was not entitled to replacement service expenses merely on the basis that the services her deceased husband performed around the family household were worm $15 to $20 per day. The widow was limited in her recovery of replacement service expenses to only those expenditures that she actually incurred for substituted services subsequent to her husband's death.
