WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR NEW JERSEY NO-FAULT PIP ARBITRATION?

When a PIP insurance company either refuses to make a payment or pays the bill incorrectly and the claim has been appealed, we will file a lawsuit against the PIP insurer to collect the money you may be owed.

As the Claimant, you file a Demand for Arbitration with Forthright in accordance with Forthright’s NJ No-Fault PIP Arbitration Rules. The demand could seek benefits over $1,000.00, which would provide an oral hearing by the parties. Alternatively, if the claim is less than $1,000.00, then the matter would proceed on-the-papers and without an in-person proceeding.

There is ZERO out-of-pocket cost for our clients. We represent medical providers throughout the entire state of New Jersey and have collected millions of dollars from insurance companies. If we don’t collect money, there is no charge.

Forthright notifies all parties of the arbitration with an initiation letter and will assign a Dispute Resolution Professional (DRP) from its panel to decide the issue. Judd Shaw Injury Law™ regularly appears statewide and before all DRPs in the north, central, and southern regions of New Jersey. For in-person proceedings, Forthright will set a date, time, and location for the hearing. The Judd Shaw Injury Law™ system will provide the information to you so that you know when to expect your date and the date of any arbitration award.

At the time of the hearing, the parties attend the in-person proceeding before the DRP and present their evidence. The DRP considers the parties’ evidence and issues a written decision within 45 days from the closing date. At an on-the-papers proceeding, the parties will submit briefs and a DRP will render a decision without oral arguments.

Our law firm’s process follows Forthright’s Roadmap, but does so electronically, which provides for faster service to clients. Whether you provide matters by hard copy or email, paperwork is scanned into our firm’s secure computer network, eliminating the need for follow-up requests for paperwork.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR NEW YORK NO-FAULT PIP ARBITRATION?

In New York, PIP arbitration claims are administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The New York State Department of Financial Services has provided consumers and insurance carriers with the opportunity for the conciliation or arbitration of disputed claims in certain automobile insurance programs.

In partnership with the New York State Department of Financial Services, the American Arbitration Association (AAA) has administered the arbitration of such disputed claims on the department’s behalf. The programs in which the arbitration of disputed claims has been administered by the AAA include No-Fault insurance, uninsured motorist (UM) insurance and supplemental underinsured motorist (SUM) insurance.

In late 1999, at the request of the Department of Financial Services, the AAA also undertook the conciliation function in No-Fault insurance cases.

To a great extent, New York No-Fault law is very similar to New Jersey law, but with one exception: New York has a six-year statute of limitations, whereas New Jersey’s is only two years.

New York No-Fault arbitration is a highly effective remedy for medical providers. In some cases, New York and New Jersey may each have a recoverable interest in the same treatment, residence, insurer, or accident (including car accidents, truck accidents, construction accidents). For this reason, our attorneys are more than prepared to advise you of the proper venue for your claim and the basis for your recovery amount.

On New York PIP claims, we can litigate rather than arbitrate when appropriate, and we will do so under our No Fee Guarantee®—meaning you pay us nothing unless we are successful. And just like New Jersey, we pay all the filing fees.

It is important in NY PIP Arbitration of No-Fault benefits that all your evidence—including any documents supporting your contention—be submitted with your arbitration request, such as medical bills, police reports, and affidavits.

NEW YORK NO-FAULT ARBITRATION STEPS AND TIMELINES

One benefit of the NY No-Fault process compared to NJ is the end-game timing. Upon filing a Demand for Arbitration (also known as Form AR1) for PIP benefits, an initial review period takes place within the first 3 days, with a Conciliation Period over at 60 days.

In the event that matter has not resolved by way of settlement, the matter is scheduled for hearing and awarded within 180 days. Therefore, the Roadmap of New York No-Fault Arbitration shows how cases proceed rather quickly under AAA administration, from beginning to end, when using the AAA’s No-Fault Rules. Our involvement can have a positive influence on the arbitration process in terms of time.

If you wish to arbitrate your claim, we will file the AR1 and all applicable sections of this form on your behalf. Upon receipt of this request, the American Arbitration Association will attempt to resolve the dispute by conciliation pursuant to Insurance Department Regulation 11NYCRR 65-4.2 (b) (2) (iii).

If the dispute cannot be resolved by conciliation, your case will be forwarded for arbitration. In the aggressive pursuit of PIP reimbursements rightfully owed to you, we submit all supporting documentation, along with a table of contents and exhibits.

The Respondent insurance carrier may provide any defense and we will make our appearance at any oral hearing required. When the arbitrator declares the hearing closed, nothing more can be submitted for the case. The Arbitrator has 30 days from the closing date to render and send in the award. We will continue to pursue the matter until payment is made under the Award or settlement.
