I noted in last year’s Automobile Injury Supplement (A Look at No Fault in 2021) that the 219th legislative session which ended on Jan. 10, 2022 was extremely productive for insurance consumers (policyholders) and the victims of automobile accidents. The new legislation included the New Jersey Insurance Fair Conduct Act and bills dealing with the Wrongful Death Act, fees for medical records, Worker’s Compensation coverage for parking areas, the disclosure of automobile liability policy limits, eligibility for comp from COVID and the effective date of the Hand and Foot Bill.
This year, the 220th legislative session has already approved a bill to increase the minimum limits for motor vehicle and automobile liability coverage and a bill to expand the full disclosure of policy limits. Nonetheless, there are still some changes that the Legislature can approve that will further protect the legal rights of persons injured in automobile accidents.
