We know this time can feel overwhelming, so we’ve answered some of the most common questions our South Jersey neighbors have after an accident, to give you peace of mind and guidance when you need it most.
If you are involved in an accident in South Jersey, your safety and health come first. Call 911 if anyone is injured and seek medical attention right away, even if you feel fine. Next, document the scene by taking photos, gathering witness information, and filing a police report. Avoid giving detailed statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney. Finally, contact an experienced South Jersey Personal Injury Lawyer as soon as possible. The right lawyer can protect your rights, handle the insurance companies, and guide you through the steps needed to pursue compensation.
Most personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay any upfront costs for legal representation. Instead, our fee is a percentage of the compensation we recover for you, whether through a settlement or a jury verdict. If we don’t win your case, you don’t owe us anything. This structure makes it possible for injured clients to pursue justice without worrying about hourly attorney fees or hidden costs. It also ensures our interests are aligned with yours, we only succeed when you do. If you have questions about contingency fees or want to understand how they would apply to your case, reach out to our South Jersey Personal Injury Lawyers for a free consultation.
In New Jersey, the time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the accident or injury. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. If you miss this filing window, the court will likely dismiss your case, and you may lose the right to recover compensation altogether. There are some exceptions.
For example, claims involving minors or cases where the injury was not immediately discovered may extend the deadline. On the other hand, if your case involves a government agency, you may need to file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the incident. Because every situation is unique, it’s important to speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
Our Northfield Personal Injury Lawyers can review your case, explain the deadlines that apply, and take immediate action to protect your rights.
Every injury claim is unique, and there is no single formula that can predict the outcome. The worth of your case depends on factors like the seriousness of your injuries, the cost of medical treatment, the wages you’ve lost, and how much the accident has affected your daily life.
Here is why this matters. A broken wrist that heals quickly will be valued differently than a spinal cord injury that leads to long-term care or permanent disability. Pain, emotional distress, and the loss of enjoying everyday activities also weigh into the calculation.
At Castellani Law Firm, our family of trial lawyers has decades of experience studying settlements and verdicts across New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We use that knowledge to compare your case against similar ones in local courts, so nothing is overlooked. Insurance companies measure their offers in dollars and cents. We measure your case by the impact on your life and fight for compensation that reflects it.
The next step is simple: talk to us. During a free consultation, we’ll review your medical records, speak with experts if needed, and give you an honest sense of what you may be able to recover.
