We believe in transparency and guidance. Here is a simple, step-by-step look at how our Northfield personal injury attorneys will file your claim that took place in Pleasantville and handle your case, so you are never left in the dark.
It all starts with a free, confidential conversation. You tell us your story, and we will provide an honest assessment of your legal options. There is no pressure and no obligation.
Our team immediately gets to work. We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, and expert opinions to build the strongest possible foundation for your claim to establish fault by showing the at-fault party had a duty of care, failed to uphold it through negligence, recklessness, or wrongful conduct, and caused you measurable harm.
We look beyond the obvious bills. From lost wages due to missed work in Pleasantville to the long-term personal impact on your daily life, we make sure every detail of your losses is accounted for before moving forward.
We prepare a comprehensive demand package backed by evidence and handle all communication with the insurance company. Our attorneys negotiate aggressively to secure a full and fair settlement, often without the need for you to step foot in court.

The sooner, the better. Hiring a lawyer immediately protects your rights, ensures evidence is preserved, and prevents insurance companies from taking advantage of you.
You pay nothing upfront. Castellani Law works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we win your case.
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.
Every case is different. The value of a personal injury claim depends on the type of injury, how serious it is, and how much it affects your daily life. At Castellani Law Firm, our attorneys carefully evaluate each case to make sure nothing is overlooked when fighting for your compensation.In general, damages fall into three main categories:
Economic damages include the financial costs tied to your injury such as hospital bills, ongoing medical care, medication, rehabilitation, and lost wages if you cannot work.
Non-economic damages cover the harder-to-measure losses like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the loss of enjoyment in everyday activities.
Punitive damages are less common and may apply when the responsible party acted with extreme recklessness or intentional harm. They are meant to punish the wrongdoer and prevent similar conduct in the future.
Most personal injury cases in New Jersey are resolved through negotiations with the insurance company. If a fair settlement is not offered, our trial team is always prepared to bring your case before a judge and jury. From our office in Northfield, Certified Civil Trial Attorney David Castellani leads his family team committed to leveling the playing field against the insurance companies and securing the maximum recovery available for our clients.
Yes. Even smaller cases can lead to significant medical expenses or long-term issues. A lawyer ensures you’re not underpaid by insurers.
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 South 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.
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.
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.
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.
Generally, two years from the accident date, but immediate action strengthens evidence
Yes. If your accident involved a rideshare, we can file against the driver’s insurance or Uber/Lyft’s $1M liability policy, depending on trip status.
In New Jersey, a wrongful death case occurs when a person’s death is caused by someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act. Surviving family members may seek compensation for losses such as medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, and the loss of companionship.
