Nowell James and Maryann James, His Wife, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the 2007 amendment to N.J.S.A. 17:28-1.1(f) applies only prospectively and does not retroactively affect UM/UIM coverage for accidents that occurred before its effective date, thereby affirming the trial court’s summary judgment in favor of the insurer and reversing the Appellate Division’s decision.
