What Types of Injuries Are Required to File A Lawsuit in New Jersey?
Many personal injury lawsuits are filed in the wake of a vehicle accident.
It is important to review your car insurance policy to determine if you have selected the No Limitation threshold which permits you to sue without proving a permanent injury based on objective evidence. However, if you have the Limitation Lawsuit threshold, you will need proof, such as an MRI or x-ray, of a permanent injury. Your New Jersey personal injury car accident attorney can provide you with all the details, and help you understand your legal rights regarding your claim.
According to the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA), there are six categories where personal injury lawsuits can be filed. Those categories are:
• A permanent injury, other than disfigurement or scarring
• Significant scarring or disfigurement
• Losing a fetus
• Death
• Displaced fractures
• Dismemberment
If you have selected the “limitation on lawsuit” threshold option when purchasing car insurance, and you have been injured in a car accident in New Jersey and have sustained any of the injuries listed above, reach out to the Todd J. Leonard Law Firm as soon as possible.
