What is the Verbal Threshold?
In New Jersey, the verbal threshold is a legal provision that affects car accident injury claims. It is codified under Section 39:6A-8 of the law. The verbal threshold imposes a limitation on the rights of individuals to seek compensation for non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, resulting from car accident injuries.
Understanding Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages encompass the physical and emotional impact of an injury, which cannot be easily quantified in monetary terms. They include pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, and more. Unlike economic damages, such as medical expenses and lost wages, non-economic damages are highly subjective and vary from case to case.
Criteria for Meeting the Verbal Threshold
In order to seek compensation for non-economic damages, accident victims must meet specific criteria established under the verbal threshold provision. These criteria typically include:
- Death
- Dismemberment
- Significant disfigurement
- Fracture
- Loss of a fetus
- Permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability
It's important to note that the burden of proof lies with the injured party. Providing sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the injuries meet the verbal threshold criteria is crucial for a successful claim.
