The court considered three summary judgment motions in a long-running dispute arising from a 2013 Michigan motor vehicle accident.
The plaintiff, Eunice Lucas-Logan, sought damages for denied accident benefits and property damage, while the defendants (Certas Direct Insurance Company and 2089402 Ontario Inc., operating as Emeryville Collision) sought dismissal.
The court found most of the plaintiff’s claims were barred by issue estoppel, as they had been finally determined in prior administrative and court proceedings.
The only relief granted was an order that the defendants pay $1,197.07 for outstanding vehicle repairs, subject to set-off against a prior costs order.
All other claims, including for mental distress, bad faith, and conspiracy, were dismissed.
