The sooner, the better. Hiring a lawyer immediately protects your rights, ensures evidence is preserved, and prevents insurance companies from taking advantage of you.

What is the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in New Jersey?

Faq IconFaq Icon

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 South Jersey?

Faq IconFaq Icon

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.
