How New Jersey protects travelers
When a carrier or insurer denies a claim, New Jersey residents can escalate to New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, the state body that oversees insurer conduct and handles consumer complaints. State-level protections sit on top of federal rules (the Department of Transportation refund requirements for flights, and the Montreal Convention for international baggage), so a New Jersey traveler often has more than one path to recovery. The guides below explain which rule applies to each situation and how to use it.
Documentation is what wins these cases. Keep itineraries, receipts, written denial letters, and timestamps; most reversible denials fail on missing paperwork rather than on the merits.
