Limited Tort in New Jersey
After a car accident in New Jersey, some drivers may be surprised to learn that a provision called limited tort in their insurance policy restricts their ability to recover for pain and suffering damages for injuries sustained in the collision. Limited tort or “limitation on lawsuit” is a provision that prevents the insured from suing for noneconomic damages unless their injury falls into one of six categories enumerated under the law. New Jersey personal injury attorney Edward Capozzi explains what limited tort means, how it can limit recovery in a car accident lawsuit, and the exceptions and strategies that permit recovery for full damages even under limited tort.
