District of New Jersey Dismisses State Farm Fire and Casualty Suit Against PSE&G

State Farm Fire and Casualty Company sued Public Service Electric and Gas Company in the District of New Jersey, docket number 24-cv-09120. The case remains active, but no judge has been assigned yet. The dispute centers on insurance coverage issues, with State Farm seeking to hold Public Service Electric and Gas liable under its policy.

The court issued an order on May 12, 2026, but the details of that order have not been publicly disclosed. The docket shows a previous order of dismissal, suggesting some claims or parties may have been removed from the case. Without a judge assigned, the case has not advanced to substantive motions or trial scheduling.

The parties have yet to clarify the scope of the remaining claims or the legal theories at play. The case is likely in the early procedural phase, with discovery and motions still forthcoming. Observers should watch for the assignment of a judge and any forthcoming motions to clarify or reinstate claims.

Those steps will set the stage for the case’s next phase and clarify the issues the court will address.
