Tressler is proud to announce the latest publication by litigation attorney Erin L. Peters in the New Jersey Defense Association magazine’s Fall 2025 Issue, titled “Coming Soon: New Jersey Supreme Court To Determine Whether Future Medical Expenses Are Boardable When PIP Benefits Have Not Been Exhausted.”

A Short Excerpt from the Article:

“In perhaps the most significant decision in automobile liability law for years, the Supreme Court is set to decide whether future medical expenses are boardable damages that can be recovered from a tortfeasor defendant when a plaintiff’s personal injury protection (“PIP”) benefits have not been exhausted. The case to watch is Lakita D. Murray v. Christopher B. Punina, which arises from a law division case venued in Middlesex County under Docket No. MID-L-4874-18.” – Erin L. Peters

This case is being closely watched by personal injury attorneys. Its outcome could significantly impact how damages are calculated and presented in automobile liability trials involving PIP coverage.
