Immediately. An attorney can preserve evidence, handle communications with insurers, and ensure you don't make statements that could hurt your claim.
You pay nothing upfront. Castellani Law works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we win your case.
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. It is crucial to act quickly before evidence disappears and deadlines expire.
Yes. Many injuries, like concussions or soft tissue damage, can have long-term eff
If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence—like a careless driver, a driver opening a door, or an unsafe road—you likely have a valid claim. A free consultation can confirm.
Yes. Under NJ’s comparative negligence law, you can recover damages if you were less than 51% at fault. While helmet use is a good safety practice, not wearing one does not prevent you from filing a claim.
Initially, your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) auto insurance may cover bills, even on a bike. If you don't have PIP, your health insurance applies. We then pursue the at-fault party for all remaining costs.
Oscar's Law is NJ's safe passing law, which requires drivers to move over a lane (if available) or leave at least a four-foot buffer when passing cyclists. Violating this law is strong evidence of negligence.
The value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and the impact on your life. We have secured multimillion-dollar results for clients with catastrophic injuries.
You may still be able to recover compensation through your own auto insurance policy's Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage. We can help you navigate this process.
The timeline varies. Simpler cases may settle in a few months, while complex claims that go to trial can take over a year. We work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible.
Yes, but claims against public entities in New Jersey have very strict rules and short notice deadlines (as little as 90 days). You must contact a lawyer immediately.
