Case Details
Court of Appeals issued its opinion in C-Spine Orthopedics, PLLC v. Progressive Michigan Ins. Co. and LM General Ins. Co, COA #359681, ruling that an insurer's rescission of a claimant’s policy does not automatically preclude recovery by a medical provider in its separate action based on an assignment of rights.
Additional Notes
Major win for medical providers treating auto accident patients, clarifying that res judicata and collateral estoppel do not bar properly filed provider suits based on assignment of rights, even if the claimant's policy was rescinded.
