THE
MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT RESTORES
A SENSE OF JUSTICE TO CIVIL JURY SYSTEM
In July of 2010, our Michigan
Supreme Court decided two cases which go a long way to restoring
rights to victims of motor vehicle and motorcycle accidents.
In Rodney McCormick v. Larry
Carrier and Allied Automotive Group, Indemnitor of General
Motors Corp., the Court defined the injury
threshold in a way which should make it easier for victims
of accidents to prove pain and suffering damages to a jury.
In Regents of the University
of Michigan, et al. v. Titan Ins. Co., the
Court restored to injured No-Fault claimants the right to
“go back in time” in order to question the adequacy
of payments made for No-Fault benefits. That decision applies
solely to minors and legally incompetent individuals whose
injuries brought about the need for No-Fault benefits. We
are excited to see that our Michigan Supreme Court has begun
to restore a sense of justice to our civil jury system.
