In a no-fault state like New Jersey, however, you may need to use your own auto insurance in addition to making a fault-based claim after an accident.Handling an accident claim in a no-fault state can get complicated. It is best to hire an experienced New Jersey car accident attorney to help protect your legal rights and get you the maximum compensation you deserve for your injuries.What Is a No-Fault State?In a state with no-fault laws, all drivers are required to purchase personal injury protection (PIP), as part of their auto insurance policies. Motorists can sue for serious injuries and for pain and suffering only if the case meets certain criteria. These conditions, known as a threshold, pertain to the severity of the injury suffered.So, in short, in a no-fault state like New Jersey, each driver involved in a crash would pay for their own medical bills, lost wages, and other accident-related bills regardless who is at fault by making a claim against their PIP. However, the at-fault motorist must still pay for the other party\u2019s vehicle repairs.PIP claims and applications can be complicated.
