Frequently Asked Questions

When should I hire a personal injury attorney after an accident?

The sooner, the better. Hiring a lawyer immediately protects your rights, ensures evidence is preserved, and prevents insurance companies from taking advantage of you.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Atlantic City?

You pay nothing upfront. Castellani Law works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we win your case.

What is the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in Atlantic City?

In New Jersey, injury victims generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. While many cases are resolved through negotiations with the insurance company, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, you must file your claim within this two-year window to preserve your right to pursue compensation in court. Acting quickly not only protects your legal rights but also helps ensure that crucial evidence and witness testimony remain available if litigation becomes necessary. Certain exceptions apply (like minors or government cases), so contact a lawyer quickly.

How much is my personal injury case worth in Atlantic City?

Every personal injury case is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all number. The value of your claim depends on factors like the type of accident, the severity of your injuries, how long your recovery will take, and the impact on your ability to work and enjoy daily life.

At Castellani Law Firm in Northfield, NJ, our family of personal injury lawyers carefully evaluates every detail of your case to make sure nothing is overlooked. We look at:

‍Economic damages – medical bills from local providers, future treatment costs, rehabilitation, and lost wages.

‍Non-economic damages – pain, emotional suffering, and the loss of quality of life.

‍Potential punitive damages – in rare cases where extreme recklessness or intentional harm is involved.

Insurance companies may try to downplay or minimize what your case is worth. That’s why you need an experienced trial-tested firm in your corner. At Castellani Law, we build cases to maximize recovery and prepare every claim as if it will go to trial, giving you the best chance at a full and fair outcome.If you’ve been injured in Atlantic City or Atlantic County, reach out for a free consultation. We’ll review your case, explain your options, and fight to make sure you and your family receive the compensation you deserve.

Is it worth hiring a Northfield injury lawyer if my case seems small?

Yes. Even smaller cases can lead to significant medical expenses or long-term issues. A lawyer ensures you’re not underpaid by insurers.

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim in Atlantic City?

If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may have the right to file a personal injury claim. Common examples include accidents caused by a careless driver, dangerous property conditions like slips and falls, or defective and unsafe products. Speaking with an experienced New Jersey personal injury lawyer can help you understand whether your case is valid and what compensation may be available.
‍
Castellani Law Firm offers free consultations so you can get clear answers about your rights and next steps.

Can I file a personal injury claim if I was partially at fault in Atlantic City?

Yes. Under NJ’s comparative negligence law, you can recover damages if you were less than 50% at fault, but your compensation may be reduced by your fault percentage.

Who pays medical bills after a car accident in AC?

New Jersey uses Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, which pays initial medical bills regardless of fault. If costs exceed limits, your lawyer can pursue additional compensation.

How much is the average car accident settlement in South Jersey?

Settlements vary by severity but often range from tens of thousands to millions. At Castellani Law, we’ve secured a $5.5M for a pedestrian accident and other major results.
‍
DISCLAIMER: This case result should not create an unjustified expectation that similar results can be obtained for others without regard to the specific factual and legal circumstances of your case.

How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit in Atlantic City?

In Atlantic City, and throughout New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of your slip and fall accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is called the statute of limitations. If you miss it, you may lose your right to pursue compensation. Because certain situations can shorten or affect this timeline, especially if the property is owned by a government entity, it’s important to speak with an experienced Atlantic City slip and fall lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Can I sue a rideshare company like Uber or Lyft after an accident when visiting Atlantic City?

Yes. If your accident involved a rideshare in Northfield, we can file against the driver’s insurance or Uber/Lyft’s $1M liability policy, depending on trip status.

What qualifies as a wrongful death case in Atlantic City?

A wrongful death case in Atlantic City arises when someone loses their life due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act, such as a fatal car accident, medical error, workplace incident, or unsafe property condition, and the surviving family seeks compensation for their financial and emotional losses.
