The New Jersey Association for Justice website was asking the group's members to contact their Assembly representatives and ask them to vote for the bill. The group provided talking points for such calls, calling the bill "an important consumer protection," and "needed because under current law there is no effective remedy for consumers whose claims have been unreasonably handled by their own insurer."

A bill allowing policyholders to file bad-faith lawsuits against insurance companies is hanging in the balance as the Legislature’s lame-duck session comes to a close.
The measure, S1559/A1659, which the insurance industry opposes, would permit consumers to sue auto insurance companies that drag their feet on resolving claims. It passed the Senate in January 2021, and is expected to come up for a vote before the General Assembly Monday, according to the New Jersey Association for Justice.
