WILLIAM RIVARD AND JEFFREY SCHULTZ OBTAIN SUMMARY DISPOSITION IN AUTOMOBILE NEGLIGENCE CASE

Anthony Johnson v. John Baker, et al., Wayne County Circuit Court. Plaintiff filed an automobile negligence lawsuit against our clients, seeking economic and non-economic damages allegedly sustained as the result of a pedestrian vs. motor vehicle accident. We filed a Motion for Summary Disposition, arguing that Plaintiff had failed to demonstrate an objective manifestation of his alleged impairment, as required under the Michigan no-fault act. The Court agreed, finding that Plaintiff could not show he had an impairment that someone other than himself would observe or perceive as impairing an important body function, and dismissed Plaintiff’s claims with prejudice.
