NEVER discuss the accident or your injuries with any of the insurance companies which insure the vehicles involved until you’ve consulted an experienced New Jersey personal injury attorney. A seasoned car accident attorney can advise you how to proceed properly in order to protect your rights.

An example of how insurance companies try and take advantage of an injured person, is the practice of refusing to disclose their insured’s (the at fault driver) policy limits. This practice puts an injured person at a major disadvantage because they would not know how much money was available to compensate them for their injuries.

New Law Requires Insurance Companies to Disclose a Defendant’s Policy Limits

Previously, the only way to get this information was to file a lawsuit, which is costly to the injured person and often times unnecessary. Fortunately, on July 22, 2021, New Jersey passed a law forcing insurance companies to disclose the policy limit when requested by a licensed attorney. However, the law only requires the release of the information when requested by an injured persons attorney. This is another reason to contact the experienced car accident attorneys at Epstein Ostrove, LLC. We have access, early in the process, to information the insurance companies don’t want you to know. Knowing the policy limits of the person who caused your injuries is critical to getting you the maximum amount of compensation. We strongly encourage you to contact us for a free consultation. You don’t have to go through this alone.

The New N.J. Safe Passing Law

New Jersey has experienced a rise in pedestrian related crashes as well a crashes with bicyclists.

A long-sought goal of advocates finally happened Thursday when Gov. Phil Murphy signed the state’s first law requiring drivers to safely pass people on bikes, scooters and pedestrians who are using the roads.

It would require drivers to move over one lane when passing, if it safe to do so, or allow four feet of space between the car and the person being passed. If that is not safe to do, it would require a driver to slow to 25 mph.

The bill also covers pedestrians who have no choice except to walk in rural and suburban roads where there are no sidewalks, and people riding skateboards and people with mobility issues riding electric scooters.

“It’s a simple law that protects our friends and loved ones, ensuring the ability to continue to share and celebrate life’s milestones,” said Janna Chernetz, Tri State Transportation Campaign deputy director. “Tri-State thanks the bill sponsors and Governor Murphy for making this law a reality.”
