New Jersey S960 allows lawsuits for noneconomic damages in drunk driving accidents.
New Jersey S960 modifies the state's tort option provisions to allow lawsuits for noneconomic damages in accidents caused by drunk drivers. This bill ensures that individuals injured in accidents caused by drunk drivers can bypass the usual limitations on lawsuit options and seek compensation for noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering, regardless of their insurance coverage. The bill applies to accidents where the driver is convicted of, or pleads guilty to, drunk driving.
