We’re honored to receive a message that reminds us why this work matters.
“John was representing my mother in an uninsured motorist/personal injury lawsuit stemming from an automobile accident. She passed away 3 months later due to her injuries, and it became a wrongful death case as well. He began representing her estate which included myself and my sister. John built a very trusting relationship with my mother, was saddened by her passing, and quickly built that same relationship with myself and my sister. He cares about people first as well as the law and seeking justice/compensation. John is a great lawyer and person. I could not recommend him more highly and we are more than satisfied with the work he did for us and the outcome of my mother's case. He handled every facet from dealing with the medical companies, financial institutions, and insurance companies and made the process as easy as possible for us during a tough time in our lives. Thank you, John!”

Why Strong Auto Insurance Matters—Especially When the Other Driver Has None
Cases like this highlight how crucial it is to carry robust auto insurance, particularly Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. When the at-fault driver has little or no insurance, your own policy often becomes your lifeline.
Consider reviewing your policy for:
- UM/UIM limits: Aim to match your liability limits so you and your family are protected if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured.
- PIP/Medical benefits (NJ): Ensure adequate Personal Injury Protection limits to cover medical care regardless of fault.
- Liability limits: Increase above state minimums to protect your assets. An umbrella policy can add an extra layer of protection.
- Lawsuit options (NJ): The No Limitation on Lawsuit option preserves broader rights to pursue pain-and-suffering claims; choosing Limitation on Lawsuit (verbal threshold) can significantly restrict those rights.
Bottom line: Protect yourself and your family before a crash ever happens—speak with your insurance professional about strengthening these coverages.
