S.2277

New Jersey S2277 allows automobile insurers to act as primary insurers and pursue claims against health insurers if the insured selected health.

New Jersey S2277 amends the law to allow automobile insurers to act as primary insurers and pursue claims against health insurers under certain circumstances. Specifically, if an insured selects health insurance as the primary coverage for medical expense benefits and sustains injuries in an automobile accident, the automobile insurer can cover the insured's medical expenses and then file a claim against the health insurer to recover the amounts that would have been paid by the health insurer if it had acted as the primary insurer, plus reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs.
