Legal Question in Insurance Law in New Jersey

Where can I file suit?

I am a NJ resident; my car was hit

by a driver running a red light. She

is also a NJ resident and the

accident occurred in NJ. She is

covered by an insurance co. located

in PA. After first making a

reasonable offer for my totalled car,

they then said that offer was a

mistake and made a 2nd offer of

less than 20% of the NADA book

value of my car. I think I will have

to sue them; can I file suit in a NJ

court?

Re: Where can I file suit?

You can't sue the insurance company. Even though it is the insurance company that will eventually have to pay, you will have to sue the owner and driver of the vehicle that hit you. That will get the insurance company involved. You should bring the lawsuit in New Jersey.
