I worked with Annie on my case and had such a pleasant experience! I felt supported and understood throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Sally Morin firm. Being injured isn't pleasant, so having a team behind you that's got your back makes the experience that much better.

I just spent the last 8 months working with a team of caring, compassionate, relatable women for my personal injury claim. Brief background: I was hit by a car while riding my bike to work. The driver pulled out of a parallel parking space without looking and was completely at fault. Initially, he and the others in the car were very concerned, but ghosted us afterwards and made up a story in order to not take on the blame. I ended up needing surgery and costs mounted, so I sought legal advice. After much research, I settled on Sally Morin Law. The team at this law firm is invested and responsive in a very personable way. I specifically worked with Carmen and Annie. Carmen took the lead and she answered every email, text, and annoying question my husband and I sent her way. She wrote a detailed demand letter that personalized my case and thoroughly explained the impact the accident had on my life, my children's lives, and my husband's life. In the end, our own insurance policy covered the claim to the fullest amount. Additionally, Carmen was able to negotiate the medical lien to $0, and my husband received a separate smaller amount for loss of consortium. We are more than happy with the results as it’s way beyond what we expected, and completely life changing. We didn't proceed with the case thinking we would have the outcome we did, and almost didn't pursue the case. However, after spending my own money on copays, days off from work, take out, uber rides, babysitters, and special equipment, it just didn't feel right not to seek help and I am so glad that I did! I highly recommend Sally Morin Law!

Last year me and my partner was in a MC/Car accident. I was clueless on what rights we had and how to proceed with insurance claims etc. I contacted Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers, who guided us through the year long process in a very pedagogical manner, a lot of support, expertise and professionalism - answering any questions we had in a timely manner. Highly recommended, they made a painful experience very manageable. Thank you, Rebecca, Carmen, and Amber!

Living in San Jose

When you live in San Jose, you live in the world-famous Silicon Valley where tech is booming, the weather is warm, and California’s natural beauty is in full view. Of course, you’ll also find one of the world’s highest costs of living here, with monthly rental costs that are more than double the national average and average home values at a staggering $1 million.

San Jose is home to just over 1 million people who mostly live in urban buildings and suburban neighborhoods. San Jose public schools get high rankings and the city is attractive to families and young professionals. The area abounds with dining and entertainment options, along with coffee shops, retail stores, and all kinds of quirky independent businesses.

This is the nation’s 29th best place to live and is among the world’s best places to retire and visit. It has a reputation as a diverse and forward-thinking city that serves as a seat for innovation in technology, business, and more. Plus, you’re never too far from Yosemite National Park or Lake Tahoe. The city is ringed by rolling hills that are full of opportunities for hiking, camping, and lots of other outdoor activities.

Dangerous Roadways and Intersections in San Jose

While living in San Jose can be wonderful, driving in San Jose can be a nightmare. Traffic is extremely congested at times for motorists, scooter riders, motorcyclists, truckers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

An accident can happen at any time on any road in San Jose, but certain areas seem to attract vehicle collisions. Here are some of the busiest and most dangerous areas for traffic in San Jose according to the Mercury News and local traffic studies:

  • Almaden Expressway at Blossom Hill Road
  • Blossom Hill Road at Winfield Boulevard

Which Types of San Jose Cases Do You Handle?

At Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers, we help survivors of many types of severe accidents in the San Jose area. Here’s a look at who we serve.

Pedestrians

Are you one of the many people who walk to work or walk for pleasure in San Jose? Pedestrians are vulnerable on our streets and accidents where pedestrians are hit by vehicles are on the rise. After a pedestrian injury, we can help you gather the evidence to make a persuasive insurance claim, negotiate a settlement, and hold the driver accountable.

Bicyclists

Bicycle vs. vehicle accidents in San Jose have been big news, especially after the Mayor of San Jose was hit and injured in a bike accident! Sometimes a driver is too impatient, entitled, or just careless. Our law firm cares about bicyclists – in fact, we’re cyclists ourselves!

Scooter Riders

Do you ride an electric scooter, moped, or Vespa around the city of San Jose? Then you know how fun and efficient these little vehicles can be. But sometimes the fun comes to a fast end when someone slams into your scooter. We help scooter owners demand compensation from negligent drivers.

Motorcyclists

You don’t have to face a San Jose motorcycle accident alone. We’re here to help you seek compensation for medical bills, lost work, damage to your bike, and more. You can file a motorcycle accident claim with the help of our team.

Uber Accidents

Since the day Uber was founded, our team has been helping injured victims of Uber crashes – and Lyft too! We can help you understand the large number of parties that are sometimes involved in these accidents so you can pursue a claim that truly respects the value of your damages. Contact us whether you are an Uber passenger, driver, or another driver in an Uber wreck.

Car, Truck, and SUV Drivers

Did a delivery driver smash into you? Were you involved in a multi-car crash due to a distracted driver? Was the other driver drunk? We handle a huge variety of vehicle accidents with serious bodily injuries, so if you were injured on the road, contact us for an initial consultation.

What if I’m Not Sure Whether I Have a Case?

It’s time to stop worrying and start taking action to resolve your situation. We can help! If you’re wondering whether you have a case for compensation after a serious accident with injuries, read on.

In San Jose, if you are injured by another individual, corporation, or government entity, you are legally entitled to collect monetary compensation in an amount suitable to cover your expenses and damages. Of course, compensation is never guaranteed. Expect the other party to fight it.

Generally speaking, you can pursue compensation:

  • With a claim against the at-fault party’s insurance company
  • Through a lawsuit in court
  • In a private settlement out of court

Working together with an experienced personal injury lawyer, you can demonstrate the legitimacy of your injuries, show that the accident is the cause of them, and prove that you had medical costs and other hardships. You’ll also need to show that the other person was the at-fault party.

Your attorney can help you secure and maximize your compensation by making a case for your financial losses and damages related to your injuries. Although it’s possible to do this without a lawyer’s help, we don’t advise it. You’re already trying to rest and heal from your injuries, so a lawyer serves the vital role of moving your case forward so you can let go of all the legal stress.

What Kind of Compensation Could I Recover?

If you’re wondering what kind of compensation you could receive in your San Jose case, start by looking at how you’ve been damaged by the accident. And keep in mind that most injury cases only cover two categories of damages if you can prove them.

  • Special damages: Your special damages may include car loss, property damage, medical bills, and lost earnings.
  • General damages: Your general damages are more abstract and may include pain, inconvenience, distress, loss of hobbies, and loss of a lifestyle with your loved ones.

How have you suffered from your accident? Talk to your lawyer about the losses you have suffered that are impacting your life. The better case you can put together, the better chance you have at receiving high-value compensation.

Jesse S.

Silicon Valley Pedestrian Accident

Last March, my partner was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street. During this difficult time of healing, we knew that bills were going to pile up and his was going to be a long process. After looking at multiple law firms, we knew that Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers was going to be the best place to work with. Because of all their help my partner Aaron, was able to heal with less worries on his shoulders. By end of December, everything was settled and we were pleased with the results. If you’re looking for a law firm for your incident, I’d definitely look at this law firm.

Car Accident Caused by Texting Driver on Highway 280

Sally did an amazing job settling my personal injury automobile accident case. I was stopped on the freeway and rear-ended by a texting man in a big truck (don’t text and drive). Aside from the wonderful and unexpected settlement, the best part was that instead of dealing with the slimy insurance settlement case worker (who wanted to show up at my work to verify my injury), I dealt with Sally and her knowledgeable and kind staff. It gave me peace of mind to be able to deal with someone with so much integrity who had my interests in mind.
