As the heart of Silicon Valley, San Jose runs on commuters β and the I-280, US-101 and Monterey Road carry heavy traffic in every direction throughout the day. Public records logged roughly 3,500 injury collisions in the city in 2025, leaving nearly 4,800 people hurt, with reported crashes tending to peak on Friday evenings. Injuries here aren't limited to the freeways: pedestrians and cyclists share increasingly busy streets, and workplace and premises incidents send many residents to the emergency room each year. Whatever the cause, California law gives injured people rights and a limited time to assert them. Our team handles personal injury claims throughout Santa Clara County and understands how local courts operate. You pay no fee unless your case recovers compensation.
California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. On corridors like the 101 and 280, camera and vehicle-data evidence can vanish within days, so early action matters.
