Frequently Asked Questions

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

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 Pennsylvania?

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 Pennsylvania?

In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident or injury. This means you generally have two years to file a lawsuit in court. If you miss this deadline, you could lose your right to pursue compensation, no matter how strong your case may be.

There are some exceptions:

If the injury wasn’t discovered right away (for example, medical malpractice cases), the clock may start when you reasonably should have known about the harm.
‍
If the injured person is a minor, the two-year period typically begins once they turn 18.

Claims against government entities may have shorter notice requirements.Because these rules can be complex, it’s important to speak with an experienced Pennsylvania personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights. At Castellani Law Firm, our family makes sure deadlines are met and cases are built for maximum recovery.

How much is my personal injury case worth in Pennsylvania?

Every case is different. The value of a personal injury claim in Pennsylvania depends on the type of injury, its severity, and how it impacts your daily life. At Castellani Law Firm, our family of personal injury lawyers carefully evaluates each case to make sure nothing is overlooked when fighting for your compensation.In Pennsylvania, damages typically fall into three categories:

‍Economic Damages – These include financial costs tied to your injury such as hospital bills, ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, medication, and lost wages if you cannot work.

‍Non-Economic Damages – These cover harder-to-measure losses like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment in everyday activities.

‍Punitive Damages – Less common, these may apply when the at-fault party acted with extreme recklessness or intentional misconduct. They are meant to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior.

It’s also important to understand that Pennsylvania has a modified comparative negligence rule. This means your compensation may be reduced if you are found partially at fault for the accident, and if you are more than 50% responsible, you cannot recover damages. Auto accident claims are also impacted by Pennsylvania’s choice no-fault insurance system, which can limit or expand your right to sue depending on whether you selected limited tort or full tort coverage.

Most personal injury cases in Pennsylvania are resolved through negotiations with insurance companies. But when insurers refuse to pay fair compensation, our trial team is fully prepared to take your case before a judge and jury. From our office in Northfield, Certified Civil Trial Attorney David Castellani leads our family-run firm, committed to leveling the playing field and securing the maximum recovery the law allows for Pennsylvania clients.

Is it worth hiring a Pennsylvania 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?

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 Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania?

Yes! Under Pennsylvania’s modified comparative negligence law, you can still recover damages if you were 50% or less at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of fault. For example, if you are found 20% responsible, your award will be reduced by 20%.

If you are 51% or more at fault, Pennsylvania law bars you from recovering compensation. This makes it especially important to work with an experienced Pennsylvania personal injury lawyer who can protect your rights and build the strongest possible case on your behalf.

Who pays medical bills after a car accident in PA?

In Pennsylvania, who pays your medical bills after a car accident depends on your own auto insurance policy. Under the state’s no-fault system, your insurance provides coverage for medical expenses through Personal Injury Protection (PIP), no matter who caused the crash. If your costs go beyond that, you may pursue compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance. This is why having the right coverage, and the right lawyer, matters so much.

How much is the average car accident settlement in Pennsylvania?

Settlements vary by severity but often range from tens of thousands to millions. At Castellani Law (Add settlement from PA from a past car accident settlement)

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.

Can I sue a rideshare company like Uber or Lyft after an accident in Philadelphia?

Yes, you can sue Uber or Lyft after an accident in Philadelphia if the driver or company’s negligence caused your injuries. In Pennsylvania, rideshare companies carry $1 million in liability insurance coverage when a driver is actively transporting a passenger or on the way to pick one up, and lower coverage applies if the driver is logged into the app but hasn’t accepted a ride.

What qualifies as a wrongful death case in Pennsylvania?

A wrongful death case in Pennsylvania arises when someone’s life is lost because of another person’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act, such as a fatal car crash, medical mistake, workplace accident, or unsafe conditions, and the surviving family seeks compensation for their loss.
