Samantha Boyd and Kaitlin Crapo secured summary disposition in favor of clients of the firm in a motor vehicle negligence action pending in the Wayne County Circuit Court. Plaintiff alleged entitlement to damages, claiming that our clients’ alleged negligence caused injuries constituting a serious impairment of body function. Samantha and Kaitlin successfully argued that Plaintiff could not satisfy the statutory requirement because the alleged injuries, conservative course of treatment, and lack of ongoing impairment did not rise to the threshold level required to recover damages under the No-Fault Act. Samantha and Kaitlin advanced multiple grounds for summary disposition, including Plaintiff’s failure to establish an objectively manifested impairment and the absence of any meaningful change in Plaintiff’s everyday life. Ultimately, the Court agreed with Samantha and Kaitlin and granted summary disposition, dismissing Plaintiff’s claims against our clients entirely.
