New Jersey Appoints the FORUM
In 1998, as part of the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act, the state of New Jersey began requiring that all parties with personal injury protection (PIP) disputes be given the option of using binding arbitration rather than going to court. After working with another ADR administrator for several years, the state switched to the FORUM.

Adding Resources, Reducing Fees
The FORUM promptly doubled the size of the state’s private panel of Dispute Resolution Professionals (DRPs) and initiated online filing, calendaring formal settlement weeks, and case management services. At the same time, it reduced users’ fees substantially. Thus, the FORUM made the process simpler and more attractive to the attorneys who primarily use it. And by keeping these cases out of court, the State of New Jersey is reducing legal expenses for businesses and lowering the cost of auto insurance and healthcare for its citizens.

About This Site
The FORUM's New Jersey No-Fault website offers filing instructions, forms, case and contact information, and much more, including the rule set governing New Jersey No-Fault disputes, Rules for the Arbitration of No-Fault Disputes.
