Sefika Ademi v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company

Opinion

STATE OF MICHIGAN

COURT OF APPEALS

SEFIKA ADEMI, UNPUBLISHED June 25, 2015

Plaintiff-Appellant,

v No. 319934 Kent Circuit Court

STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE LC No. 12-002714-NF INSURANCE COMPANY and AMERISURE INSURANCE COMPANY,

Defendants-Appellees,

and

LANCER INSURANCE COMPANY,

Defendant.

Before: BECKERING, P.J., and MARKEY and SHAPIRO, JJ.

SHAPIRO, J. (concurring).

If the applicable standard of review were de novo, I would conclude that the economist’s report provided to defendant constituted reasonable proof as to economic losses. However, the issue is close and I cannot conclude that the trial court’s findings, made after conducting a full bench trial, were clearly erroneous. See Arbor Farms, LLC v GeoStar Corp, 305 Mich App 374, 386-387; 853 NW2d 421 (2014). Accordingly, I concur.
