The case I fought to the New Jersey Supreme Court
Dec 6th, 2006 | By Michael L. Saile, Jr., Esq. | Category: Blogs, New Jersey Injury Information, Saile & Saile LLP NewsMany of my friends and clients ask about the NJ case that went to the Supreme Court of New Jersey . This case (Serrano v. Serrano) was a landmark decision for accident victims in New Jersey. In fact, it was the first case that the New Jersey Supreme Court would agree to hear regarding limited tort/verbal threshold requirements of a New Jersey automobile insurance law in 20 years.
Basically Supreme Court agreed with us and ruled that the automobile insurance industry and the lower courts of the State of New Jersey were completely wrong when they interpreted the limited tort/verbal threshold automobile insurance law to require that an injured accident victim to prove that the accident had “a significant impact on the accident victim’s lifestyle”. Before this case, thousands and thousands of New Jersey accident victim’s cases were dismissed because the lower (Superior) courts all over the State of New Jersey were interpreting the law wrong since 1998. This case was decided June 14, 2005.
