Levin, J.
(concurring). The possibility of duplication of personal protection insurance benefits by a tort recovery from a non-motorist tortfeasor is a further indication of the desirability of a comprehensive legislative review of the no-fault act as we approach its first decade of operation.
It may also be appropriate to consider whether the enactment of the no-fault act, with its policy of eliminating duplicative recoveries, should alter the common-law collateral source rule normally applicable to tort actions to reduce a plaintiff’s tort recovery to the extent it duplicates personal protection benefits paid or payable under mandatory no-fault insurance coverage.
Williams, J., concurred with Levin, J.
