Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury in Garfield, NJ

What if I get into a car accident and the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

One of the scariest things to learn after suffering injuries after being hit by another driver is that the driver does not have car insurance. Fortunately, when you are injured in a car accident and the at-fault driver does not have auto insurance, you may be able to look to your own insurance policy for uninsured motorist coverage. First, you may be able to access your policy’s Personal Injury Protection coverage, which provides payments for medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who was at fault for the accident. You may also be entitled to compensation under your policy’s uninsured motorist coverage, which provides benefits when a driver lacks insurance to fully compensate you for your losses.

Is there a limit to the amount of compensation I can receive?

Potentially, depending on the circumstances of your accident. First, New Jersey has a “no-fault” insurance system, which requires you to first look to your own insurance policy for payment of medical expenses and other economic damages. You can then file a claim against an at-fault driver for any economic damages not covered by your own insurance policy. However, you can only seek compensation for non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering or lost quality of life, from the at-fault driver. The other driver’s insurance limits and financial status may limit your recovery, which is why the lawyers at The Epstein Law Firm always evaluate your underinsured motorist coverage, which is a provision of your insurance policy that provides compensation up to the policy limits if the other driver is underinsured. In addition, New Jersey law imposes a cap on punitive damages in any personal injury case to the greater of five times the amount of compensatory damages awarded or $350,000.
