PER CURIAM.

Plaintiff appeals as of right the trial court's order granting Farmer Insurance Exchange's motion for summary disposition pursuant to MCR 2.116(C)(10) regarding plaintiff's action for no-fault personal protection insurance (PIP) benefits. We affirm.

This dispute arises from an automobile accident in which plaintiff was injured while driving a 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier. Plaintiff and her mother, Joyce Burton, who lived together in the same house in Detroit, indisputably were the only titled owners of the Cavalier at the time of the accident. Burton originally insured the Cavalier under an Allstate Insurance Company policy. But she allowed that policy to lapse after health problems resulted in the amputation of both of her legs, leaving her unable to drive. Thereafter, Burton requested that Richard Huling, a close friend from her church, use the Cavalier to drive her to and from frequent church visits. Burton testified that she paid Huling to insure the Cavalier and that Huling bought a no-fault policy from State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company in 2008. It was undisputed that no one else besides Huling had insurance on the vehicle.

While the Cavalier's title listed Burton and plaintiff's Detroit address, Huling claimed that he regularly garaged the Cavalier at his home in Novi. But he also admitted that "[f]rom time to time," he would leave the vehicle in Detroit at Burton and plaintiff's home. Burton testified that plaintiff regularly used the Cavalier to drive herself to and from work and to drive Burton to doctor appointments and shopping.

At the time of the accident, plaintiff was driving the Cavalier by herself. After the accident, she applied for PIP benefits, claiming entitlement under Huling's State Farm policy. Following State Farm's denial of benefits, plaintiff filed the present lawsuit, originally naming the Michigan Assigned Claims Facility (MACF) and State Farm as defendants. Defendant Farmers Insurance Exchange ultimately substituted for the MACF, and the trial court dismissed the MACF from the case with prejudice.

State Farm brought a motion for summary disposition on the basis that plaintiff could not recover PIP benefits from it under the policy because the policy only covered the named insured, Ruling, and was never intended to benefit plaintiff. Accordingly, State Farm contended that plaintiff was without insurance through which she could claim PIP benefits and that her only recourse was through the MACF or Farmers. In opposing the motion, Farmers argued that Huling was a constructive owner of the vehicle,1 which meant that under Michigan's insurer priority statute, MCL 500.3114, plaintiff had to recover her benefits from State Farm and not Farmers. Plaintiff did not file a brief in opposition, appear at the motion hearing, or otherwise state any opposition to State Farm's motion. The trial court granted State Farm's motion, relying on the facts that the policy applied only to Huling, Ruling was not an owner of the vehicle, and Huling was not in the vehicle at the time of the accident. The trial court also noted that Ruling had obtained the "policy of insurance for his own personal protection." No party appealed the order granting summary disposition in favor of State Farm.

Farmers later brought its own motion for summary disposition under MCR 2.116(C)(10), arguing that under MCL 500.3113(b), if an owner fails to obtain PIP coverage, he or she cannot recover PIP benefits. Farmers relied on the trial court's dismissal of State Farm, which Farmers argued necessarily meant that Ruling was not an owner and, therefore, that the Cavalier had no owner's policy at the time of the accident. Accordingly, Farmers contended that plaintiff, as the owner of an uninsured vehicle involved in an accident, was ineligible for PIP benefits.

Plaintiff opposed the motion, arguing, in relevant part, that controlling caselaw provided that the security-of-insurance requirements of the no-fault act are linked to the vehicle, not the person claiming PIP benefits. Plaintiff, therefore, contended that the Cavalier was insured under Huling's State Farm policy and that it did not matter that Huling was not named on the vehicle's title or was not otherwise an owner.

On January 18, 2013, the trial court held a hearing on Farmer's motion. After hearing arguments from both parties, the trial court ruled that the no-fault act required at least one of the "owners" to have insurance. It reasoned that because neither plaintiff nor Burton had insurance, plaintiff was barred from seeking benefits under the no-fault act. The trial court granted summary disposition for Farmers.

This Court reviews a trial court's decision on a motion for summary disposition de novo. Johnson v. Recca, 492 Mich. 169, 173, 821 N.W.2d 520 (2012). A motion under MCR 2.116(C)(10) tests the factual sufficiency of the complaint. Joseph v. Auto Club Ins. Ass'n., 491 Mich. 200, 206, 815 N.W.2d 412 (2012). In reviewing a motion under MCR 2.116(C)(10), this Court considers the pleadings, affidavits, depositions, admissions, and other documentary evidence submitted in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party. Id. Summary disposition is proper if "there is no genuine issue as to any material fact, and the moving party is entitled to judgment... as a matter of law." MCR 2.116(C)(10).

The primary goal of the judicial interpretation of statutes is to ascertain and give effect to the intent of the Legislature. Mich. Ed. Ass'n. v. Secretary of State (On Rehearing), 489 Mich. 194, 217, 801 N.W.2d 35 (2011). The first criterion in determining intent is the specific language of the statute. U.S. Fidelity & Guaranty Co. v. Mich. Catastrophic Claims Ass'n. (On Rehearing), 484 Mich. 1, 13, 795 N.W.2d 101 (2009). The Legislature is presumed to have intended the meaning it plainly expressed, Joseph, 491 Mich. at 206, 815 N.W.2d 412, and clear statutory language must be enforced as written, Velez v. Tuma, 492 Mich. 1, 16-17, 821 N.W.2d 432 (2012).

The purpose of the Michigan no-fault act, MCL 500.3101 et seq., "is to broadly provide coverage for those injured in motor vehicle accidents without regard to fault." Iqbal v. Bristol West Ins. Group., 278 Mich.App. 31, 37, 748 N.W.2d 574 (2008) (quotation marks and citation omitted). The no-fault act, however, requires the "owner or registrant of a motor vehicle" to maintain "personal protection insurance [PIP], property protection insurance, and residual liability insurance." MCL 500.3101(1). The no-fault act sets forth a consequence in the event that the required insurance is lacking. MCL 500.3113 provides that

The issue in the present case is whether MCL 500.3113(b) bars plaintiff's receipt of PIP benefits. Plaintiff relies on this Court's opinion in Iqbal as standing for the proposition that she can recover as an owner as long as anyone had insurance on the vehicle. We do not believe that Iqbal stands for this broad proposition.

In Iqbal, the plaintiff was injured while driving a car that was titled and registered only in his brother's name. The brother insured the car through Auto Club Insurance Association. The plaintiff lived with his sister, who had a household no-fault insurance policy issued by Bristol West Insurance Group. The plaintiff sought PIP benefits. Following the trial court's determination that Bristol had priority to handle the claim, Bristol argued that the plaintiff should be precluded under MCL 500.3113(b) from receiving PIP benefits because the plaintiff was an owner of the car (he had primary possession of it) and did not insure the car himself. The trial court ruled that whether the plaintiff was an owner under MCL 500.3101(2) was irrelevant because the car indisputably was insured by the brother, who was an owner. Iqbal, 278 Mich.App. at 33-36, 748 N.W.2d 574.

This Court agreed that the plaintiff was not precluded by MCL 500.3113(b) from receiving PIP benefits. The Court stated that even while assuming that the plaintiff was an owner,

In the present case, plaintiff cites Iqbal and argues that the fact that neither she nor Burton insured the Cavalier does not matter because Huling did. Plaintiff contends that this is so regardless of whether Huling was an owner of the Cavalier. Iqbal should not be read so broadly to apply to even nonowners. The Court made it clear that it was addressing the problem of whether the statute required "each and every owner" to maintain insurance on a vehicle. Id. at 40 n. 2, 748 N.W.2d 574. The Court opined that to so hold would preclude an owner who obtained insurance from receiving PIP benefits as long as any other co-owner did not maintain coverage as well. Id.

In further support of our view that Iqbal does not protect owners of vehicles if no owner provides the insurance, we note that Iqbal relied on Jasinski v. Nat'l. Indemnity Ins. Co., 151 Mich.App. 812, 391 N.W.2d 500 (1986), and State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Sentry Ins. Co., 91 Mich.App. 109, 283 N.W.2d 661 (1979). Both cases involved at least one owner having obtained the insurance coverage. See Jasinski, 151 Mich.App. at 819, 391 N.W.2d 500 (stating that "the no-fault act has been satisfied because ... the titled owner ... maintained security for payment of no-fault benefits"); State Farm, 91 Mich.App. at 115, 283 N.W.2d 661 (stating that each "owner" or "registrant" did not have to have a separate policy and that the policy in question was obtained by the registered title holder). Additionally, to hold otherwise would render nugatory the language of MCL 500.3101(1) that requires "[t]he owner or registrant of a motor vehicle" to maintain insurance, which is not favored. See State Farm Fire & Cas. Co. v. Old Republic Ins. Co., 466 Mich. 142, 146, 644 N.W.2d 715 (2002).

Therefore, while Iqbal held that each and every owner need not obtain insurance, it did not allow for owners to avoid the consequences of MCL 500.3113(b) if no owner obtained the required insurance. Thus, under the plain language of MCL 500.3113(b), when none of the owners maintains the requisite coverage, no owner may recover PIP benefits. And because it is undisputed that the only coverage was supplied by Huling, who had been deemed to not be an owner,2 plaintiff is precluded under the no-fault act from recovering PIP benefits.

Affirmed. Farmers, as the prevailing party, may tax costs pursuant to MCR 7.219.
