Bill overview
This bill modifies New Jersey’s auto insurance laws to ensure that individuals injured in accidents caused by drunk or reckless drivers can still pursue lawsuits for non-economic damages, even if they’ve opted for a limited lawsuit option under their insurance policy. It specifically addresses situations where the driver causing the accident has been convicted or pleaded guilty to offenses related to impaired driving. This change aims to provide greater compensation to victims of these serious incidents.
