Auto insurance is a contract that provides specified protection in exchange for a premium. What it pays depends on the coverages you select, policy limits, deductibles, and the circumstances of the loss.
Liability, personal injury protection, uninsured or underinsured motorist protection, collision, and comprehensive coverage serve different purposes. Review your choices alongside New Jersey requirements and any lender or lease requirements.
Bring your vehicle and driver details to a coverage review.
Your policy identifies insured vehicles, drivers, coverages, limits, and deductibles. After a loss, the insurer reviews the claim against those terms. Having insurance does not mean every repair or expense is covered.
The New Jersey auto insurance guide explains coverage choices and consumer resources.
Keep your claim number, photographs, police report information, estimates, and correspondence together. Ask your insurer about deductibles, rental reimbursement, repair arrangements, and any documents still needed.
Read the New Jersey guidance on claims under your own auto policy. For help discussing your coverage, call 908-603-7500.
