Anthony Pieti (Partner-Detroit, MI) represented an insurer in a subrogation case arising out of an accident involving a Michigan resident that occurred in Kentucky, and under the Michigan No Fault System in effect at the time of the accident. Under the No Fault Act, our insurer-client was required to pay lifetime first-party (PIP) benefits to, or on behalf of, the insured who suffered significant injuries. However, under a narrow exception for an out-of-state accident, the insurer has a right to seek recovery/subrogation from the at-fault party for all first-party (PIP) benefits paid. The insured filed a third-party liability suit against the at-fault party in Kentucky that was removed to federal court, and Anthony subsequently moved to intervene in that suit and pursue recovery of our insurer-client’s Michigan No Fault PIP lien. The litigation has been ongoing since 2019. However, following the filing of a Motion for Summary Judgment seeking disposition on multiple grounds, and which Motion the court relied on during negotiations, settlement was achieved in favor of our insurer-client on the subrogation claim recovering almost 70% of the benefits paid out.
