What Demas Law Group Does for Davis Injury Victims

Davis injury cases — from bicycle crashes on Russell Boulevard to pedestrian accidents near UC Davis to slip and falls in campus-area businesses — require an attorney who investigates thoroughly and fights hard. Here is what Demas Law Group’s representation includes:

  • Thorough accident investigation — We investigate every Davis personal injury case from the ground up — gathering police reports, surveillance footage, witness accounts, and physical evidence to build the strongest possible liability case before any settlement conversation begins.
  • Expert witness coordination — We work with accident reconstruction engineers, medical specialists, vocational rehabilitation counselors, and economic experts to document what happened, who is responsible, and what your injuries will cost — now and over the full course of your recovery.
  • Insurance communications management — We handle all contact with every insurance carrier on your behalf — shielding you from recorded statement requests, early settlement pressure, and the adjuster tactics designed to minimize your claim before you understand its full value.
  • Complete liability identification — We identify every responsible party and every applicable insurance policy — including commercial carriers, government entities, product manufacturers, and property owners — so no source of recovery is left on the table.
  • Government claims filing — When a government agency’s negligence contributed to your injury, we file timely tort claims under the California Government Claims Act — meeting the strict six-month deadline and handling all procedural requirements on your behalf.
  • Full damages documentation — We build a complete damages picture that reflects your current bills, future medical care, lost earning capacity, and the full impact of your injuries on your life — not just what the insurance company says your case is worth today.
  • Trial-ready advocacy — Insurance companies know Demas Law Group goes to trial and wins. That reputation influences every negotiation — and when insurers refuse to offer fair value for your Davis claim, we are fully prepared to take your case before a jury.

 

Demas Law Group serves Davis clients from its Sacramento office at 701 Howe Avenue — just minutes away via I-80. There is no fee to consult with us and no upfront cost to hire the firm. We advance all case expenses and collect only if we win for you.

 

Personal Injury Law in Davis — What You Need to Know

California law gives injured people the right to pursue compensation from any party whose negligence caused their harm — including individual drivers, commercial vehicle operators, property owners, product manufacturers, and government agencies. Demas Law Group handles the full spectrum of personal injury claims for Davis residents, UC Davis students and staff, and visitors to the area.

California operates under a pure comparative negligence system. Even if you share some responsibility for an accident, you can still recover damages — reduced proportionally by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies know this rule and routinely overstate your contribution to a crash as a negotiating tactic. Having experienced legal counsel at your side is the most effective way to counter this strategy and protect the full value of your claim.

 

Common Personal Injury Cases in Davis

Davis presents a distinct set of injury risks shaped by its roadway layout, high bicycle traffic density, university population, and proximity to major agricultural corridors. Demas Law Group handles the following types of cases for Davis-area clients:

  • Car accidents on Interstate 80 and Highway 113 — high-speed freeway corridors that connect Davis to Sacramento and the Bay Area, with frequent commercial truck traffic and hazardous fog conditions in winter months
  • Bicycle accidents — Davis has one of the highest rates of bicycle commuting in the United States, and collisions involving cyclists on Russell Boulevard, Fifth Street, and UC Davis campus paths cause serious and sometimes fatal injuries
  • Pedestrian accidents — crosswalk hazards throughout downtown Davis and in the G Street and Third Street corridors near campus
  • Slip and fall injuries — commercial businesses, university facilities, and residential rental properties throughout Davis
  • Motorcycle accidents — Highway 113 and I-80 on-ramp areas present recognized hazards for riders
  • Wrongful death claims — when negligence on Davis roads or properties takes a life, Demas Law Group fights for the families left behind

 

What Challenges Do Davis Injury Victims Face in California?

Davis injury cases often involve a layer of complexity that requires experienced legal handling. Bicycle accident claims in Davis can be legally nuanced — insurers frequently attempt to blame cyclists for collisions caused or contributed to by driver inattention, dooring, or unsafe passing. Documenting a cyclist’s right of way and the driver’s fault requires careful investigation and, often, reconstruction expertise.

When a UC Davis facility, a city-owned bike path, or a Yolo County road condition contributes to an accident, government claims rules apply. Injured victims must file a formal tort claim within six months of their injury before any lawsuit can be filed. Missing that deadline — even by a single day — permanently bars the claim against the government entity.

California’s general personal injury statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury. Acting quickly also protects the physical evidence your case depends on — surveillance footage, skid marks, and roadway conditions change or disappear fast.

Frequently Asked Questions — Davis Personal Injury Claims

Call 911 if anyone is injured. Get the driver’s name, contact information, and insurance details. Photograph the scene, your bicycle, the vehicle, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Get the names of witnesses. Seek medical attention even if you feel okay — some injuries, including concussions, do not produce obvious symptoms immediately. Then call Demas Law Group for a free case review before speaking with any insurance company.

Yes — but strict procedures apply. Claims against government entities in California require filing a formal tort claim within six months of the injury. If you miss this deadline, you lose the right to sue the government entity, even if the evidence strongly supports your claim. Contact Demas Law Group immediately if a government property or vehicle was involved in your accident.

If a government employee caused your accident while acting within the scope of their employment, the government entity may be directly liable. These cases involve specific procedural requirements and unique sovereign immunity considerations. Demas Law Group has experience handling government liability claims and will navigate the full process on your behalf.

Case value depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your ability to work, your current and projected medical costs, and the full extent of your pain and suffering. Demas Law Group does not negotiate settlements based on what an insurer says your case is worth — we build the full damages picture using medical specialists and economic experts, then fight for every dollar our clients deserve.

Eric and his Legal Assistant Corina were FABULOUS! My case was not simple by any means and they worked tirelessly for me and my husband to be able to receive an excellent resolution to a case that I had no intention of filing. They were ALWAYS friendly, efficient, attentive and God willing I never have to see again in that setting! They always made sure to communicate with my doctors, therapist's, and with me! DEMAS LAW FIRM IS THE ONLY LAW FIRM IN MY PERSONAL OPINION. And it is always important to emphasize the hard work legal assistants do with and for attorney's. Corina was so well versed on the law but she also knew my case inside and out. You would never go wrong working with Erik Gutierrez and Corina!

My older brother always told me to hire professionals when needed and let them do what they do. My case was appraised honestly. The difficulties and time frame were accurately explained. I let Erik manage the case as he suggested and let him do what was needed. I knew what I hoped the settlement would be. I would have made peace with half that amount. I received twice what I hoped for. The staff at Demas Law Group was always professional, responsive, courteous and friendly. I remembered reading a story many years ago in The Bee. Their reputation impressed me. When I needed an attorney an saw their name, it was an easy decision and a wise choice.

I was in a car accident that wasn’t my fault, and the other driver only carried minimum insurance. Katie and Veronica at Demas Law were absolutely AWESOME. They walked me through every step, including how to get my own insurance involved so I could actually be protected. They also negotiated directly with my health insurance to make sure all my medical bills were covered while I focused on getting back to good health. Their communication, guidance, and support made a stressful situation so much easier. I’m truly grateful for everything they did.

My husband and I got into a car crash in 2019, and the crash left him with permanent physical injuries and a neurological pain disorder. Attorney Kate and the Demas Law Group took amazing care of us. They fought for us and supported us for almost 7 years while the insurance company dragged things on. When the case finally closed, Kate continued to fight for us and reduced the medical expenses by around $65,000! We ended up taking home more than we expected and it’s all due to the hard work of Kate and the Demas Law group. Even beyond the money aspect, we felt supported and like Kate truly cared about us. She understood how stressful the whole situation was and supported us throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend this team highly enough!!

I cannot say enough positive things about this law group and especially my attorney, Kate.

Kate and her team were always there, no hesitation, to listen and help find solutions in my case. I would hands down recommend Kate and her team to anyone needing legal support for a personal injury. Although I’m glad my case is resolved, I am going to miss the check ins and time with Kate. Thank you so much Kate!

My experience with Demas Law Group was professional, compassionate, and focused on always doing their very best for me. From the beginning, I was made to feel like a person first and foremost, not just a client. My car accident occurred in California while I was on vacation from New York. We decided to choose this firm after our initial phone conversation with John Demas. Being from out of state, we wanted to feel confident that we had the right representation, and John immediately gave us that confidence. From our very first conversation, he was compassionate, caring, and professional in explaining how the case would proceed. It was an incredibly stressful time for me, and I always felt supported. Over the course of two years, John Demas and his entire team were amazing. They were always responsive to our calls, patient with our questions, and worked incredibly hard to reach a settlement that I am very pleased with and truly grateful for. I would highly recommend Demas Law Group to anyone who needs an attorney. I am so happy that we chose them to represent us, and I will always be grateful for everything they did for me.
