What does the term “Tort Threshold” mean?

The term “Tort Threshold” deals with whether there is a limitation on your right to bring a claim against a negligent driver for injuries that you sustained in an automobile accident. Under the Act, drivers must select whether or not there will be a limitation on their right to bring a claim against a negligent driver who causes an accident. Drivers who select the “No Limitation on Lawsuit” option will be permitted to bring a claim against a negligent driver without any limitation on their right to sue. Drivers who select the “Limitation on Lawsuit” option, however, may only bring a claim if their injuries meet one or more of six statutory categories.
