MEEMIC INSURANCE COMPANY v. BARBARA JANE BISCHER BAILEY JAMES BISCHER GARY DUANE BISCHER JACQUELINE BRAUN ESTATE OF BRANDON MICHAEL DICKERT (2018)

SHAPIRO, J. (concurring).

I concur with the majority but write separately to emphasize, as the majority notes, that “we need not determine what does constitute a sufficient connection with the residence premises,” and that scenarios distinguishable from the instant case may result in a different outcome. Thus, although I agree that permissive use of a non-contiguous trail is not “use ․ in connection with,” I would reach a different conclusion had the accident occurred on a common trail that ran through two or several contiguous properties including that of the policyholder.
