SAN JOSE ACCIDENT ATTORNEY

You stand to gain more with an attorney on your side. For context, here are some potential consequences of not hiring a lawyer.
 
Without legal counsel, you may not fully understand what you are entitled to per California's traffic laws. While you may be aware of your entitlement to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, that's just the top layer. Underneath that, you may be entitled to damages you never knew existed, and that's one thing an attorney can help you discover.
 
Insurance companies are also very manipulating when it comes to issuing payments to the injured. Without legal representation, they may take advantage of your lack of knowledge and experience to pressure you into accepting a lowball settlement or waiving your right to take legal action against them.
 
Keep in mind that these companies have experienced defense lawyers they can utilize to undermine your claim. Without a lawyer of your own, you may find it challenging to effectively counter their strategies and arguments.
 
It is also worth mentioning that car accident cases involve complex statutes, rules, and regulations, some of which vary on a case-by-case basis. We haven't even factored in the strict deadlines you must keep up with.

The good thing about letting Morgan and Morgan handle your case is that you will have access to top-notch attorneys without paying any fee upfront. In other words, we only get paid if we win the case. Here's everything you need to know about your contingency-based system.

The shortest answer is 'the earlier, the better.' That said, California has a two-year statute of limitations for such accidents. If you fail to file a claim within this timeframe, you will lose your right to sue.

Being partly at fault does not completely bar you from recovering compensation for the damages you sustained in the same accident. The City of San Jose uses the pure comparative negligence rule, which means that even if you are partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover damages based on your percentage of fault. Our lawyers can help you understand these laws even better and how they could apply to your specific situation.

Morgan and Morgan ticks all the right boxes if you're looking for an experienced San Jose accident attorney who understands your pain and is willing to do everything they can to help you get compensated. That's becuase we are the nation's largest injury firm with a solid track record of not only fighting for the rights of the injured but also winning big cases.
