New York and New Jersey personal injury law firm representing victims of truck accidents
Most people have a very limited understanding of New Jersey automobile insurance. In order to protect yourself and your family, it is important that you review your insurance policy selections with an attorney. This will help assure that you and your family are protected in the event of injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
You should understand the different types of policies and the variety of coverage offered in the insurance companies’ selection pamphlets. You must know the difference between a standard policy, a basic policy and a special policy. You should understand the meaning of the term “Lawsuit Option”. Medical benefits vary with all policies, as does the amount of coverage. Understanding the importance of uninsured motorist coverage and underinsured motorist coverage is critical.
The attorneys at Mintz & Geftic are always available to answer your questions concerning automobile insurance even if you have not been in an accident or suffered any injuries. If you are purchasing or renewing your automobile insurance, feel free to call the attorneys at Mintz & Geftic to help you understand the insurance that you are purchasing.
