BELCHER v. AETNA CASUALTY & SURETY COMPANY HAMILTON v. AETNA CASUALTY & SURETY COMPANY SHAFFER v. RIVERSIDE INSURANCE COMPANY

Supreme Court of Michigan.

Decided June 30, 1980.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Rosenbaum, Bloom, Appel & Moses for plaintiff Belcher.

Richard A. Lenter for plaintiffs Hamilton.

Bridges & Collins (by Brian D. Sheridan) for plaintiff Shaffer.

Collins & Einhorn, P.C., for defendant Aetna Casualty and Surety Company.

William R. Smith for defendant Riverside Insurance Company.


BLAIR MOODY, JR., J.

These appeals, consolidated for the purpose of argument and decision, present the following issue for resolution:

"[A]re no-fault insurance benefits to be paid to the surviving dependent(s) of a deceased uninsured motorist?" 405 Mich. 826-827 (1979).

We hold that in all three cases the surviving dependents are not entitled to be paid no-fault benefits. The decisions of the Court of Appeals are therefore affirmed.
