COA Special Panel: Insurer’s Right Of Reimbursement In No-Fault Act Applies Only To Claimant, Not To Tort Recovery As Subrogee

A special panel of the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled that § 3116 of the No-Fault Act (MCL 500.3116) applies only to a no-fault insurer’s right of reimbursement from a claimant and “does not apply to an insurer’s tort recovery, as a subrogee, against a nonmotorist tortfeasor.”
