Wayne County Circuit Court; Docket No. 79-925-291-NI; Unpublished  
Judge Charles S. Farmer; Written Opinion    
Official Michigan Reporter Citation: Not Applicable; Link to Opinion alt   


STATUTORY INDEXING:  
Obligations of Admitted Insurers to Pay PIP Benefits on Behalf of Nonresidents Injured in Michigan [§3163(1)]  
Rights and Immunities Applicable to Nonresident Claimants and Foreign Insurers [§3163(3)]

TOPICAL INDEXING:
Not Applicable    


CASE SUMMARY:  
Consistent with subsequent developing appellate case law, Judge Farmer held in a written opinion that a foreign insurance company filing a certificate in Michigan under §3163 of the No-Fault Act is obligated to provide no-fault benefits to any person insured under its policy who sustains accidental bodily injury in Michigan as a result of an accident involving the insured motor vehicle. Judge Farmer held that the foreign insurance company specifically agreed to provide such coverage in the certificate filed under §3163. This certificate clearly sets forth that in exchange for the privilege of writing automobile insurance policies in Michigan, the foreign insurer would provide no-fault benefits to nonresidents insured by one of its automobile liability insurance policies for any accidental bodily injury occurring in the state arising from the operation or use of the motor vehicle.
