David Timmis and Veronica Prange secured summary disposition in favor of clients of the firm in a motor vehicle negligence action. The plaintiff alleged entitlement to damages stemming from our clients’ alleged negligence.  The plaintiff claimed to suffer from a serious impairment of an important body function.

David and Veronica argued that summary disposition under MCR 2.116(C)(7) based upon governmental immunity was appropriate because the plaintiff failed to plead or prove that any of the exceptions to governmental immunity applied. After the parties submitted their briefs, the court agreed with David and Veronica finding that the plaintiff’s complaint was deficient and that plaintiff did not sufficiently plead facts to overcome governmental immunity. As such, the court granted David and Veronica’s motion dismissing all claims against their clients.
