Michigan Law Firm - Warner Norcross + Judd LLP

The Michigan Insurance Code excludes no-fault insurance liability for property damage only where the damage occurs at a business whose primary purpose is to provide maintenance and repair services for motor vehicles, said the Michigan Court of Appeals in <a href="http://publicdocs.courts.mi.gov:81/OPINIONS/FINAL/COA/20170516_C331612_33_331612.OPN.PDF" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Hastings Mutual Insurance Company v. Grange Insurance Company</em>, No. 333193</a>. The exclusion does not apply to a business that has primary purpose doing something else and only peripherally participates in vehicle repair and maintenance.&nbsp;
