San Jose Personal Injury Lawyer

San Jose is best known as the capital of tech innovation center Silicon Valley.  It’s also the largest city in Northern California and the third largest city in the Golden State. All of this, however, does not necessarily translate to an overall safer city.

Traffic fatalities have been on the rise since 2010, and pedestrian accidents have posed a particular problem for San Jose.

What Are the Leading Causes of Accidents in San Jose?

According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, in Santa Clara County 2023 there were:

• 3,294 vehicle accident injuries and fatalities
• 377 of those accidents involved alcohol
• 642 of them were speed related

These numbers have been steadily increasing in recent years as a growing population in San Jose and Santa Clara County translates into more drivers on the road, and a higher risk for traffic-related accidents.

What to Do if You’ve Been Injured

So you’ve been seriously injured in an accident in San Jose—now what?  Time is of the essence, and it is extremely important that you act quickly.

1. If you are injured, seek immediate medical attention. Prioritize your health above all else, and get yourself checked out.
2. If there are injuries, the police and/or first responders should arrive on the scene. If they don't, call 911. If you are unable to, have someone call for you.
3. If it's safe to do so, move all vehicles out of traffic.
4. Gather and preserve evidence. Take photos of the damage to all vehicles, your injuries, the road and any traffic signals and signs. When the police arrive, answer their questions, but don't speculate about how the accident happened.
5. Exchange information: license, insurance and registration information with all those involved. Don't discuss the accident or how it happened. Don't apologize either, it can be used as an admission of guilt later on.
6. Contact an experienced San Jose personal injury attorney. If you were seriously injured, you need the services of an experienced personal injury attorney like those at The Dominguez Firm.
