Automobile Accidents: In New Jersey, we have what is called "no fault" insurance, which means that no matter who is a fault in an accident, an injured person goes first to his/her own automobile insurance company for payment of his/her economic loss. In most cases (depending upon which options the injured person selected when purchasing automobile insurance) the automobile insurance company pays all medical expenses up to $250,000. There is a $250 deductible and a co-pay of 20% on all expenses up to $5,000. The deductible and co-pay amounts can be submitted to the injured person's health insurance. Some people may have a higher deductible, may have named their health insurance company as primary or may have selected the "basic" automobile insurance policy, which gives only $15,000 in medical payments. Automobile insurance also pays a minimum of $100 per week income loss (up to a maximum of $700 per week) and essential services benefits of either $12 per day or $20 per day. The difference in benefits depends on options selected at the time the policy is purchased or renewed.
