If You Hit Someone Lightly On Their Rear Side Of Their Car While Driving And You Had The Stop Sign …..
Posted in Internal Engine Parts | Asked on Sep 13, 2011
And most likely will be deemed at fault, is it easy for the other party to sue your insurance company and win? Some facts about the accident: I live in NJ. I asked him if he was hurt and he said no and was standing up the whole time waiting for the police to arrive. I hit him lightly to move out of the way of a driver who crossed a double yellow lines without her lights on,I was at a complete stop when I accelerated foward maybe doing 5 -7 mph and then hit him. His car’s body had almost no damage to it other then a small dent, only his rear axle was hit on the tire mainly. No ambulance was called. The police asked me if he was hurt I told them I asked him and he said No.
Ok he has NY plates I have NJ plates, now what about no fault does it still work for situations like this, also I hit him doing about 5 mph can anyone really sue for something small like that. Also what is no fault does his insurance pay for his car and my insurance for my cAR and also our own insurance to cover our own medical bills, I havent gotten really clear answers yet please reanswer some of you are on the right track

Nj is no fault state/let him take it up with his ins co/you report to yours
Turn the information from the accident over to your insurance company, they will handle ti.
NJ is a no-fault state only in the fact that the first-party medical coverages pay regardless of fault, which has nothing to do with this accident.
You are still liable for the damages to his vehicle, and yes, it will be very easy for him to get that from your insurance company.
As far as whether or not he is hurt, it is possible that he was up and around and fine at the scene but ends up stiff and sore later.
Sometimes it just takes a while to feel the effects of an accident.
His being fine and on his feet at the accident scene doesn’t rule out all possibility of a minor injury popping up over the next few days.
Often, with the adrenaline at the scene and the general nature of soft tissue injuries, the injured party is unaware they are hurt in the minutes or even hours after the crash.
