Methodology
We obtained sample car insurance premiums from New Jersey’s Department of Banking and Insurance and for five example drivers across 37 insurers in Jersey City. Our profiled drivers had no violations or accidents in the past three years and selected the option of having a limited right to sue, which reduced their auto insurance quotes.
