CASE SUMMARY:  
In this brief unanimous per curiam Opinion, the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court finding that plaintiff was disqualified from receiving PIP benefits under the exclusionary provision of §3113(b) for owners whose uninsured motor vehicles become involved in accidents. 

The Court of Appeals held that since plaintiff owned the vehicle which struck him, and the vehicle did not have the required security, §3113(b) of the No-Fault Act disqualified him from receiving PIP benefits, notwithstanding his pedestrian status or his lack of knowledge or intent that the vehicle be driven.
