Who Pays for Medical Bills After a Car Accident in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, your own car insurance policy covers your medical bills first after a crash, regardless of who caused it. The state requires drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection coverage, known as PIP, which pays for medical treatment after an accident under the state’s no-fault system. The amount of PIP coverage available depends on the policy a driver selected at the time of purchase.
New Jersey drivers choose between two types of policies: basic and standard. Standard policies offer more PIP coverage options and greater flexibility to pursue additional claims. Basic policies provide limited coverage and restrict the ability to sue for pain and suffering. Understanding which policy applies after a crash is an early step that can shape the entire claims process.
When medical costs exceed PIP limits, an injured person may file a claim against the at-fault driver’s liability insurance. New Jersey’s modified comparative negligence rule allows injured parties to seek compensation as long as they are not more than 50 percent at fault. Any award is reduced by the injured person’s percentage of fault.
A car accident attorney can help identify all available insurance coverage, communicate with insurers, and explain what compensation may realistically apply to a specific situation. Legal guidance is especially helpful when injuries are serious or when insurance companies dispute the extent of a claim.
