Congratulations to MBL Principal Christopher McDonald on securing a voluntary dismissal of $2.5 million in potential exposure for an MBL insurance client.

Chris demonstrated to opposing counsel that, at the time of the accident, the insured had suspended coverage for PIP benefits under his policy and that it was a proper suspension of PIP coverage at the time of loss. By digging into the details and searching through years of prior automobile insurance policies for the insured, Chris discovered that the insured had a pattern of suspending coverage under his policy for years prior to the loss. As a result, Chris was able to effectively argue that the insured had suspended coverage at the time of loss in accordance with this prior history.

This result reflects MBL’s continued dedication to looking deep into the details of each case and achieving the proper result for insurers and self-insured entities throughout Michigan in complex first-party litigation.
