What Our Elk Grove Pedestrian Accident Lawyers Can Do for You

After a pedestrian accident, you may be dealing with serious injuries while an insurance company is already investigating the collision. Demas Law Group can take over the legal process, protect your interests, and build a claim that accounts for the full impact of your injuries.

  • Investigate the accident — We gather police reports, photographs, witness statements, surveillance footage, vehicle information, and other available evidence to determine what happened.
  • Preserve critical evidence — We act promptly to preserve video footage, physical evidence, vehicle data, and other information that could disappear over time.
  • Identify every responsible party — We determine whether a negligent driver, employer, government entity, vehicle manufacturer, or another party may share responsibility.
  • Challenge allegations of fault — If an insurer claims you caused or contributed to the accident, we use the available evidence to challenge unfair attempts to shift blame.
  • Handle insurance communications — We deal directly with insurers, respond to requests for information, and protect you from tactics designed to reduce the value of your claim.
  • Document your damages — We establish your medical expenses, lost earnings, future treatment needs, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other losses.
  • Coordinate expert support — When necessary, we work with medical professionals, accident reconstruction specialists, economists, and other experts to strengthen your case.
  • Prepare for trial — We build your claim with litigation in mind and are prepared to go to court if the insurance company refuses fair compensation.

There are no upfront costs to hire Demas Law Group, and you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Plus, we serve all types of traffic accident claims in Elk Grove, including car accident claims, truck accident claims, motorcycle accident claims, and more. So, if you were injured by a negligent motorist, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Frequently Asked Questions

You may have a pedestrian accident claim if another person or entity acted negligently and that negligence contributed to your injuries. For example, you may have a case if a driver failed to yield, was distracted, ran a traffic signal, or otherwise failed to exercise reasonable care.

You do not need to determine liability yourself. Our Elk Grove pedestrian accident lawyers can investigate the accident, review the available evidence, identify responsible parties, and explain whether you may have grounds to pursue compensation.

The at-fault driver’s liability insurance is often a primary source of compensation after a pedestrian accident. However, the driver may not always be the only potentially responsible party.

Depending on how the accident occurred, compensation could potentially involve:

  • The negligent driver’s insurance
  • An employer’s commercial policy
  • Your own applicable insurance coverage
  • A government entity responsible for a dangerous roadway
  • Another person or business whose negligence contributed to the accident

We investigate potential liability and available insurance coverage to identify possible sources of recovery.

California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you wait beyond the applicable statute of limitations, you could lose your ability to pursue compensation through the courts.

Some cases have significantly shorter deadlines. For example, if a government entity may be responsible for a dangerous roadway or another condition that contributed to the accident, an administrative claim generally must be presented within six months. We can determine which deadlines apply to your circumstances.

An uninsured driver does not necessarily mean there is no way to recover compensation. Depending on your insurance coverage and circumstances, uninsured motorist coverage may provide another potential source of recovery.

We can review the available policies, investigate whether any additional parties share responsibility, and determine which options may apply. If you make a claim through your own insurer, we can also handle those communications and advocate for fair treatment of your claim.

Demas Law Group represents pedestrian accident victims on a contingency fee basis. You do not need to pay upfront attorney fees for us to investigate your accident and pursue your claim.

Your initial consultation is free. Also, when we accept your case, you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. This allows you to pursue legal representation without paying attorney fees out of pocket at the beginning of your case.

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.
