San Jose Accident Lawyer

Accidents are a leading cause of injury and death for children and adults alike. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 25 million people visit emergency departments each year to seek treatment for unintentional injuries, and about the same number of people experience injuries that are less severe but still require treatment at a physician’s office. Motor vehicle collisions and falls are the leading causes of accidental deaths and injuries, although there are a wide range of accidental injuries that result in harm to children and adults in the San Jose area. Accidents and injuries often happen because of another party’s careless or reckless behavior. In those situations, it is usually possible to file a claim for compensation, and the firm of Venardi Zurada LLP can help.

Filing a Personal Injury Claim After an Accident in San Jose

How can you file a personal injury claim after an accident in San Jose? The first step is to get in touch with an experienced lawyer who can help you to determine liability and identify the theory on which you will file your accident claim. Most accident claims are based on a theory of negligence, but some cases may be based on a theory of strict liability.

It is essential to begin working on your case as soon as possible. Under California law, you will have only a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit before your claim becomes time-barred. The statute of limitations for most accident cases is two years, and that two-year clock will begin to tick on the date of the accident. Many accidents that result in fatalities also give rise to wrongful death claims. The statute of limitations is also two years in those cases, but the time window starts on the date of the deceased’s death.
