A-M attorneys Chris Lawicki and Alice Bell recently prevailed in the Court of Appeals with an opinion affirming a grant of summary disposition to the defendant insurer, based on the plaintiff’s commission of a fraudulent insurance act under MCL 500.3173a. The Court held that the plaintiff had knowingly made false material statements in his application for benefits by omitting extensive information about his medical history and preexisting conditions, making him ineligible for any no-fault benefits through the Michigan Automobile Insurance Placement Facility. This win saved our clients over $620,000.00 in outstanding PIP benefit claims.
