The Insurance Alliance of Michigan announced on Wednesday that they had appealed the case to the Michigan Supreme Court.

The IAM said that the appeal was based on financial concerns.

"Long-term care is one of the highest costs to auto insurance and the one most rife with overcharging," said the association in a press release.

Additionally, the IAM said that the July 2021 changes to auto-reform law were instated to make insurance more cost-effective for Michigan drivers.
