Carl J. D’Adamo concentrates his practice on serious injury cases: tractor-trailer and motor vehicle accidents, dog bites, slip, trip, and fall accidents, pedestrian accidents, and workers’ compensation claims for people injured on the job. He litigates throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Background
Before joining the firm, Mr. D’Adamo served as law clerk to the Honorable Carol E. Higbee, P.J.Cv., in Atlantic City, New Jersey, where he worked closely on high-profile mass-tort litigation including the Vioxx, Celebrex, and Accutane cases — an early education in how large defendants and their experts fight injury claims. He is certified to arbitrate cases by the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas (First Judicial District).
Education
- Rutgers University School of Law — Camden, NJ (J.D. awarded with honors; Rutgers Law Journal, Executive Board)
- Saint Joseph’s University — Philadelphia, PA (B.A. in Economics, cum laude; Dean’s List)
Frequently Asked Questions
What does his mass-tort clerkship experience mean for my case?
It means he learned defense playbooks from inside the courtroom — how corporate defendants use experts, procedure, and delay. Injury clients benefit from a lawyer who has watched that machinery up close.
What does it mean that he’s a certified arbitrator?
The Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas certifies attorneys to serve on arbitration panels that decide smaller civil cases — experience on the deciding side that informs how he presents cases for clients.
Does he handle both the injury claim and the workers’ comp claim if I was hurt at work in a crash?
Yes — that dual-track situation (a comp claim plus a third-party lawsuit) is common in his practice, and handling both together prevents the coordination mistakes that cost injured workers money.
Is he admitted in New Jersey as well as Pennsylvania?
Yes — he litigates in both states, which matters for river-crossing crashes and NJ-based defendants. Standing is verifiable through the PA Disciplinary Board.
