Legal Question in Insurance Law in New Jersey

Car Accidents

I was in a car accident that was not serious. Both parties agreed to not go the insurance company and to pay out of pocket. Is it legal to sign a letter stating that payment is in full and that neither parties can seek further restitution? Thanks

Yes. This would be called a release of claims agreement. As for not notifying your insurance carrier, that may be a breach of your insurance contract. Take a look at your policy.
