Car Accident Insurance Claims in New Jersey: What You Need to Know

New Jersey's No-Fault Insurance System

New Jersey is a no-fault insurance state, which means that after a car accident, your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays for your medical expenses and lost wages — regardless of who caused the accident. This system is designed to speed up compensation and reduce litigation.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Coverage

PIP coverage in New Jersey provides:

Medical expenses: Up to your policy limit (minimum $15,000, up to $250,000)
Income continuation: A portion of lost wages if you are unable to work
Essential services: Compensation for household services you can no longer perform
Death benefits

You must file a PIP claim with your own insurance company, even if the other driver was at fault.

When Can You Sue the At-Fault Driver?

New Jersey's no-fault system limits your right to sue the at-fault driver depending on which insurance option you chose:

Limitation on Lawsuit Option (verbal threshold): You can only sue if you suffered a permanent injury — such as a displaced fracture, loss of a body part, significant disfigurement, or a permanent injury within reasonable medical probability
No Limitation on Lawsuit Option (no threshold): You can sue for any injury, including pain and suffering

Steps to Take After a Car Accident

Call 911 and report the accident
Seek medical attention immediately
Document the scene — photos, witness information, police report number
Notify your insurance company promptly
Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company without consulting an attorney
Contact a personal injury attorney to evaluate your claim

Common Mistakes That Hurt Your Claim

Delaying medical treatment — gaps in treatment are used to argue your injuries are not serious
Posting about the accident on social media
Accepting a quick settlement before understanding the full extent of your injuries
Failing to follow your doctor's treatment plan
