KLRW PREVAILS AT ARBITRATION

Julia Talarick obtained a dismissal in Arbitration Forums, Inc. in favor of KLRW’s insurer client. There, the claimant insurer filed a demand for arbitration to recoup over $300,000 in PIP payments on behalf of two injured pedestrians, arguing that the vehicle that struck the pedestrians was a commercial vehicle, not required to carry PIP coverage in New Jersey. KLRW argued that although the vehicle, an SUV, was registered commercially, it was a private passenger vehicle required to maintain PIP and therefore the claimant insurer had no claim for reimbursement against KLRW’s client. The arbitrator agreed and dismissed the demand. Please contact Julia Talarick for additional information regarding these types of matters or coverage advice.
