Universal Underwriters Insurance v. Hoxie

I agree with Justice O’Hara that Bricker v. Green, 313 Mich 218 (163 ALR 697) “did not abolish the ‘doctrine of imputed negligence,’ ” but only “repudiated the doctrine as *113it has previously beexx applied in actions by a blameless passenger against a third party,” where such passenger is not a joint venturer or master or principal of the driver, as borne out by the subsequent cases of Parks v. Pere Marquette R. Co., 315 Mich 38; Bostrom v. Jennings, 326 Mich 146; Ter Haar v. Steele, 330 Mich 167, and Sherman v. Korff, 353 Mich 387 (14 NCCA3d 149).

I cannot agree with Justice O’Hara’s conclusion…
