Hiring a lawyer is often something that isn’t thought about until one is needed. At that point, many people become overwhelmed at the many types of lawyers and how to find the one best suited to help them. If you have incurred an injury in San Jose caused by negligence, you can recover compensation for your injury through a legal process known as the personal injury claims process with the help of a San Jose personal injury lawyer.
Personal injury law covers a lot of different types of cases in which someone’s negligence has resulted in an injury to another. Here is a look at some common types of cases that a San Jose personal injury lawyer can help you with:
Car accidents are one of the top causes of injury accidents in San Jose, and a large proportion of these accidents are the result of speeding. Even minor collisions can result in debilitating injuries.
Slip and fall accidents are caused when a hazard on a floor, staircase, sidewalk, or in a parking lot causes someone to slip or trip and fall. Common hazards include damaged flooring, poor lighting, and obstacles in walkways. Property owners are responsible for ensuring these walkways are well-maintained and safe.
California mandates strict liability in dog bite cases. What this means is that the owner is liable for the expenses and impacts of the injury whether or not they knew the dog was capable of being aggressive. The liability exists even if the owner made reasonable efforts to protect others from their dog.
When someone dies due to negligence or even an intentional act, family members of the deceased can seek compensation from the at-fault party for the expenses and psychological impacts of their loss in a wrongful death lawsuit.

Some of the most common injuries suffered as a result of negligence in San Jose include:
If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence and resulted in expenses—such as medical bills or lost wages—you should seek the guidance of a San Jose injury attorney through a free case evaluation. An attorney can review the details of your case, advise you of your legal options, and inform you of the services the firm can offer to assist you.
The process often begins when your attorney submits a demand on your behalf to the at-fault party’s insurance company. The insurance provider can either pay the claim, deny the claim and provide you with a reason for the denial, or offer a settlement. A settlement offer is generally an amount lower than the demanded value of the claim.
Your attorney will attempt to increase the amount of the at-fault party’s offer through settlement negotiations.
Your attorney can also file a personal injury lawsuit and begin preparing to prove your claim in court. In lieu of a settlement agreement, your attorney will litigate your case and the court will decide the damages you are owed.
Your attorney will assist you in collecting your award or settlement, and your legal team will be paid for their services in accordance with your contingent fee agreement.
