San Jose Truck Accident Lawyer

San Jose sits at the crossroads of major freight routes, with commercial trucks moving across the 101, 880, 680, and 280 to serve Silicon Valley warehouses, ports, and delivery hubs. Heavy delivery traffic on Stevens Creek Boulevard and the industrial corridors of East San Jose adds to the mix, and fatigued or rushed drivers cause many of the worst collisions. A jackknife or underride crash at freeway speed can total a car and severely injure everyone inside. Federal FMCSA hours-of-service rules limit how long a driver can operate, and electronic logging device (ELD) and black-box data can show whether a trucker drove past those limits or braked too late. Because carriers usually hold large commercial liability policies, their insurers fight hard and move fast to control the scene, which is why preserving the ELD record early matters. You generally have two years from the crash under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, and California's pure comparative negligence rule means the carrier may try to pin part of the blame on you. A San Jose truck case proceeds in the Santa Clara County Superior Court, where civil claims are handled at the Downtown Superior Court on North First Street. Operating from Glendale, MMG Law Firm represents San Jose and statewide clients, conducting most of the case by phone, email, and a secure document portal while traveling for court appearances.
