YOU NEED AN AGGRESSIVE CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY – (848) 373-4664

Legislating that a driver ought to have motor vehicle insurance is a compassionate gesture from the state. The benefits such as being legally exempted from all types of liabilities arising from an accident, or even to third parties, or the resultant need for repairs on your own vehicle is exceedingly underrated. It is therefore in the best economic and physical interests of the driver that insurance is compulsory. This respective law is prescribed under statute NJSA 39: 6B-2. Insurance on an understanding basis is there to ensure that one has the appropriate backing for if there are any accidents or issues that can come to fruition while they are operating a vehicle. For example, in any accidents, this can be insurance payments or on the other hand other necessities that, in turn, can make the person whole from any of these accidents that can, in fact, arise detrimentally. 

The minimum set standard for motor vehicle insurance include $15,000 for death of a person, $30,000 for deaths of more persons and $5,000 for damage of property, which can occur in any number of ways. An assessment of the currency and status of insurance of a moving car can be assessed by number-plate recognition cameras. Failure to provide the police with up-to-date motor vehicle insurance within 7 days would warrant the charge of driving without insurance. The Statute further stipulates penalties based on the frequency of such omissions; where first-time offenders face fairer penalties than those who have been driving with auto insurance. These penalties range from fines, surcharges, subsequent nine points, community service, suspension of driver’s license and even imprisonment.

The severity of these implications may be bargained by an attorney based on the legally acceptable defenses. There are a multitude of distinctive defenses that can be pertained to the consequences when an individual is caught driving without insurance, which for the most part is required by law. For example, in as much as it may be easy to claim that one wasn’t aware of the lapse of their insurance cover, it is not easy to raise the standard of proof without the intervention of an advocate. There may also have been procedural technicalities in updating the insurance cover which may be proven with professional legal help, so that the severe implications of failing to insure a motor vehicle are not felt. However, there is more research needed to be uncovered in order to properly understand.
