Kelly, J.
(concurring in part and dissenting in part). I agree with the majority’s opinion in all respects other than, its conclusion that this Court’s decision in Zdrojewski v Murphy, 254 Mich App 50, 74-82; 657 NW2d 721 (2002), was incorrect and should be overruled. To the contrary, I agree with the reasoning and analysis applied by Judge Bandstra in his opinion in Zdrojewski, as well as that of Judge Hoekstra in Phillips v Mirac, Inc, 251 Mich App 586; 651 NW2d 437 (2002). The statutory cap on noneconomic damages set forth in MCL 600.1483 does not violate the Michigan Constitution.
