An Overview of Car Crash Liability in New Jersey
New Jersey follows a somewhat unique “no-fault” insurance system for motor vehicle crashes, but that does not mean fault is irrelevant. In the event of a minor or moderate crash, each driver’s own insurance typically pays for their medical expenses, regardless of who caused the accident. The no-fault coverage is known as Personal Injury Protection (PIP). It is required under New Jersey law.
However, liability still plays a major role in many car accident cases, especially when a victim has the legal right to step outside the no-fault system and file a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver. Your right to file such a claim depends on the type of insurance policy held (standard vs. basic) and whether the injuries meet the state’s “verbal threshold,” which restricts lawsuits unless the injuries are considered to be “serious” for the purposes of state law.
Recovering the Maximum Compensation for Injured Victims
In New Jersey, car accident victims have the right to seek compensation for the full extent of their damages, including non-economic losses. However, you cannot rely on an insurance company to willingly step up and pay you full and fair compensation. They want to settle cases for less. Our team can help. You may be able to recover compensation for:
- Vehicle repairs;
- Emergency room care;
- Hospital bills;
- Other medical costs;
- Physical therapy;
- Loss of wages;
- Diminished earnings;
- Pain and suffering;
- Long-term disability;
- Wrongful death; and
- PIP Medical Insurance Coverage.
