    FAQ

    What a Case with Your Attorney Looks Like At Cellino Law

    • Every case at Cellino Law starts with a free consultation. During this consultation, we’ll work to understand what happened and how it has affected your life. We’ll walk you through options and next steps.

    • We’ll get to work building your case. This includes assessing the damages, parties involved, and building evidence for your case.

    • During your case we work with the other parties and insurances to negotiate the settlement you deserve. We’ll keep you updated and make sure you are aware of all offers.

    • If the settlement you deserve can’t be negotiated, we will be fully prepared to take your case to trial and fight for you.

    • During this phase we’ll continue to gather evidence and build your case, as well as examine potential counterarguments and rebuttals.

    • Here we will meet with the opposing parties once more in an effort to come to a fair settlement (now referred to as an alternate dispute resolution).

    • If no agreement can be reached, we will go to trial for you. Our team is composed of experienced trial attorneys. We have the resources, power and skills necessary to take your case to court.

    • At the end of your case will be either a settlement or a verdict. A settlement is a mutual agreement between both parties, while a verdict is a decision made by the courts after a trial. We will be at your side to guide you through this process.

    What NOT To Do

    Personal Injury Lawyers

    Apologize

    An apology after an accident can in some cases be taken as an admittance of fault. Avoid apologizing to the other party, insurance, and others involved.

    Apologize

    Personal Injury Lawyers

    Leave The Scene

    After an accident occurs, you may want to leave the scene as quickly as possible. However, leaving the scene without an official report of the accident, insurance information, or photos can hurt you if you choose to pursue an injury case.

    Talking to Insurance

    Insurance companies aren't on your side. They literally have a mandate to minimize your claims. Be wary of settlement offers, as they are typically not representative of the settlement you deserve. Talk to us first.

    WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

    Personal Injuries.

    A serious injury does more than cause physical pain. It disrupts your work, strains your finances, and creates uncertainty about the future. Our attorneys take that seriously. From the moment you contact Cellino Law, we take the legal burden off your shoulders so you can focus on recovery while we build your case.

    Call Cellino Law today for a free personal injury consultation. There are no fees unless we win.

    How Is Personal Injury Calculated?

    What Types of Personal Injury Cases Does Cellino Law Handle?

    Cellino Law represents injury victims across the full spectrum of personal injury practice areas, including:

    • Car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and all types of motor vehicle collisions
    • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
    • Bus accidents and rideshare accidents
    • Slip and fall and trip and fall accidents
    • Premises liability and negligent security
    • Construction accidents and workplace injuries
    • Workers’ compensation claims
    • Wrongful death
    • Dog bites and animal attacks
    • Nursing home abuse and neglect
    • Traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries
    • Catastrophic and burn injuries
    • Medical malpractice
    • Product liability and mass tort claims

    Whatever type of injury you have suffered, Cellino Law will evaluate your case, explain your rights under the law that applies to your state, and pursue the strongest possible claim on your behalf. Visit our New York page, our New Jersey page, or our Connecticut page for state-specific legal information relevant to your situation.

    Common Injuries Cellino Law Handles: Whiplash

    Whiplash is one of the most frequently sustained injuries in rear-end car accidents and other collisions that cause the head to snap forward and backward rapidly. Despite being common, whiplash is also frequently underestimated, both by accident victims who hope the pain will resolve on its own and by insurance companies looking to minimize payouts.

    The symptoms of whiplash, including neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced range of motion, can persist for months and in some cases permanently affect a victim’s quality of life. When whiplash is caused by another driver’s negligence, Cellino Law pursues compensation for the full extent of your injuries, including all medical treatment costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering where applicable under your state’s law. Visit our New York page, New Jersey page, or Connecticut page to understand how pain and suffering recovery works where you were injured.

    Common Injuries Cellino Law Handles: Broken Tailbone Injuries

    A broken or fractured coccyx, commonly called a broken tailbone, is a painful and often debilitating injury that can result from slip and fall accidents, car crashes, and direct impact injuries. Despite appearing on imaging as a relatively minor fracture, tailbone injuries can cause intense pain during sitting, standing, and basic daily activities for weeks or months.

    Recovery from a tailbone injury may require extended rest, physical therapy, and in some cases medical intervention. When this injury results from another party’s negligence, it gives rise to a personal injury claim for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Cellino Law evaluates tailbone injury cases thoroughly and pursues compensation for the full impact of the injury on your daily life.

    How to Find the Right Personal Injury Attorney for Your Case

    Choosing the right personal injury attorney after an accident is one of the most important decisions you will make. The quality of your legal representation directly affects the outcome of your case, and not all attorneys approach personal injury claims with the same level of preparation, resources, or commitment.

    When evaluating a personal injury law firm, look for a track record of substantial results across cases similar to yours. Verify that the firm has experience handling cases in your state and with the specific type of injury you have sustained. Consider whether the attorneys are accessible and communicative, and whether the firm is prepared to take your case to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation.

    Cellino Law meets all of these criteria. Our attorneys have achieved significant results for injury victims across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, and we bring the same level of preparation, advocacy, and personal attention to every client we represent. We handle all cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win. Visit our New York page, New Jersey page, or Connecticut page to learn more about Cellino Law’s presence and experience in your state.

    What Compensation Is Available in a Personal Injury Claim?

    The specific compensation available in a personal injury case depends on the nature and severity of your injuries, the state where your accident occurred, and the legal framework that applies to your situation. In general, Cellino Law pursues recovery for:

    • All medical expenses, from emergency care through long-term rehabilitation
    • Future medical costs for ongoing or permanent injuries
    • Lost wages for time missed from work during recovery
    • Reduced earning capacity if your injuries permanently affect your professional life
    • Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and post-traumatic stress where your state’s law permits
    • Loss of enjoyment of life when injuries prevent meaningful daily activities
    • Property damage resulting from the accident
    • Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

    How the Law Varies by State

    Cellino Law serves clients in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, and the legal framework governing personal injury claims differs meaningfully across all three states. Understanding which rules apply to your situation is one of the first things our attorneys address when you contact us.

    In New York, drivers are subject to a mandatory no-fault insurance system. Your own insurer’s Personal Injury Protection coverage pays initial medical expenses and a portion of lost wages regardless of fault. To pursue additional compensation including pain and suffering, your injuries must meet New York’s serious injury threshold. New York applies pure comparative negligence, and the general statute of limitations is three years. Claims against government entities require a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Visit our New York page for a full overview of how New York law applies to your situation.

    In New Jersey, a no-fault PIP system also applies, but your ability to pursue pain and suffering damages depends on the tort option selected in your auto insurance policy. Drivers who chose the Limited Tort option can only recover pain and suffering if their injuries meet a defined verbal threshold. Those who chose Full Tort retain the unlimited right to sue. New Jersey applies modified comparative negligence with a 50 percent bar, and the statute of limitations is two years. Claims against government entities require a Notice of Tort Claim within 90 days. Visit our New Jersey page for a full overview of how New Jersey law applies to your situation.

    In Connecticut, the state operates as an at-fault system, meaning you can file a claim directly against the negligent driver for the full scope of your losses without first exhausting your own coverage. Connecticut applies modified comparative negligence with a 51 percent bar. The statute of limitations is two years. All drivers are required to carry uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. Visit our Connecticut page for a full overview of how Connecticut law applies to your situation.

    For a full explanation of how the law applies to your specific situation and location, visit our New York page, our New Jersey page, or our Connecticut page, or contact Cellino Law directly for a free case evaluation.

    What to Do After an Injury Caused by Someone Else's Negligence

    • Seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow all treatment recommendations
    • Document the scene, your injuries, and any property damage with photographs
    • Collect the names and contact information of any witnesses
    • Report the incident to the appropriate parties — law enforcement, a property owner, or an employer
    • Keep records of all medical bills, out-of-pocket expenses, and lost income
    • Do not give recorded statements to any insurance company before consulting an attorney
    • Contact Cellino Law before accepting any settlement offer or signing any release

    Insurance companies move quickly after accidents and often make contact before victims fully understand the value of their claim. An early settlement offer can look attractive but may leave significant compensation on the table. Cellino Law will ensure you understand exactly what your case is worth before any decision is made.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims

    How long does a personal injury case take?

    The timeline depends on the severity of your injuries, the complexity of the liability questions, and whether the case resolves through settlement or litigation. Straightforward cases sometimes resolve within several months. More complex claims involving serious injuries or multiple parties can take a year or longer. Cellino Law works efficiently while maintaining the quality needed to produce the best possible outcome.

    Do I have to go to court?

    Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlement without going to trial. However, Cellino Law prepares every case as if it will go before a jury, which strengthens our negotiating position and ensures we are fully ready if trial becomes necessary.

    What does Cellino Law charge for personal injury representation?

    Cellino Law handles all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. There are no upfront costs and no fees of any kind unless we successfully recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is completely free.
