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 Salem County?

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 Salem County?

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 Salem County?

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.

Is it worth hiring a Salem County 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 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.

Can I file a personal injury claim if I was partially at fault in New Jersey?

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 Salem County?

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 New 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 Salem County?

Generally, two years from the accident date, but immediate action strengthens evidence

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

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.

What qualifies as a wrongful death case in New Jersey?

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.
