Frequently Asked Questions

When should I hire a medical malpractice attorney?

Faq IconFaq Icon

The sooner, the better. These cases require immediate investigation and preservation of evidence. Hiring a lawyer quickly protects your rights and ensures you don't miss the strict legal deadlines.

How much does it cost to hire a medical malpractice lawyer?

Faq IconFaq Icon

You pay nothing upfront. Castellani Law works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay legal fees if we win your case and recover compensation for you.

What is the statute of limitations for filing a malpractice case in New Jersey?

Faq IconFaq Icon

Under New Jersey state law, you have two years from the date of the injury or the date you reasonably should have known about it. Exceptions can apply, so it is crucial to contact an attorney immediately.

How do I know if I have a valid medical malpractice claim?

Faq IconFaq Icon

If a healthcare provider's action (or inaction) fell below the accepted standard of care and directly caused you significant harm, you likely have a claim. A free consultation with our team can confirm your legal options.

Who pays medical bills after an injury from medical malpractice?

Faq IconFaq Icon

Initially, you may use your own health insurance. A successful malpractice claim is designed to recover compensation for all past and future medical expenses related to the injury, effectively reimbursing those costs and providing for future care.

What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice lawsuit?

Faq IconFaq Icon

You can pursue compensation for economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future care costs) and non-economic damages (pain, suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life).

What qualifies as a wrongful death case in South Jersey?

Faq IconFaq Icon

A wrongful death occurs when medical negligence leads to a fatality. If a loved one died in a hospital in Camden County or Atlantic County due to a preventable error, a claim can be filed on their behalf to seek justice and compensation.
