The Types of Cases Ashley Handles for New Castle Survivors

Across New Castle and Lawrence County, abuse can occur in schools, churches, medical practices, childcare centers, and youth organizations. No matter the setting, Ashley’s focus is the same: understanding what happened to you and whether an institution failed in its duty to keep you safe. She represents New Castle survivors and their families in civil cases such as:

If you are not sure whether what happened to you qualifies for a civil claim, it costs nothing to find out. A civil claim is separate from any criminal case: you do not need a police report, a criminal charge, or a conviction to speak with a lawyer about your options.

Holding Institutions Accountable in the New Castle Area

Lawrence County is served by the Diocese of Pittsburgh, which was named in Pennsylvania’s statewide grand-jury report, and survivors across western Pennsylvania continue to come forward. A civil claim is often the only way a New Castle survivor can force a powerful institution to disclose what it knew and change how it protects people.

Understanding Your Filing Deadline in Pennsylvania

Deadlines for filing a civil abuse claim in Pennsylvania aren’t as fixed as many people think, and recent changes to the law mean it’s worth checking yours rather than assuming too much time has passed. For New Castle survivors, the answer often comes down to age, when the abuse happened, and the specific facts of the case. The most important thing to know is that older cases can still qualify, but only if you act before that window closes. Attorney Ashley DiLiberto offers a free, confidential call to walk through your specific deadline, with no cost and no obligation.
