Overview
This bill modifies New Jersey’s automobile insurance laws to address lawsuits related to bodily injury. Specifically, it removes a limitation on the ability to sue for noneconomic damages when the injury results from an accident caused by a drunk driver, regardless of whether the injured person has elected the ‘verbal threshold’ option in their insurance policy. This change applies to various types of coverage and aims to provide greater recourse for victims of drunk driving accidents.
