Have you or a loved one been seriously injured in an accident that someone else caused? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills and much more.
Davis Personal Injury Lawyer
Personal injuries suffered in accidents can quickly prove incredibly costly. In addition to medical expenses, pain, and suffering, a serious injury may cause you to miss work or perhaps keep you from ever returning to work. Many accident victims are just as quickly disappointed when they turn to insurance companies that inevitably offer personal injury settlements for much less than what they deserve.

Our Davis Personal Injury Lawyer Can Make a Difference for You
Many people who have been injured in accidents expect that, when all is said and done, insurance will come through and their injuries will cost them little, if anything, out of pocket. Soon, they recognize a growing imbalance between their insurance check and incoming bills for ongoing medical needs and other losses.
If you have suffered a serious injury in an accident, you cannot count on an insurance company to step up and provide the full financial assistance you need. Regardless of the coverage you or anyone responsible for your injuries holds, a profit-minded insurance company will work to pay out as little as possible for your claim.
At Demas Law Group, our skilled Davis personal injury lawyers will:
- Investigate your accident to determine exactly who should be held responsible and gather extensive evidence to support your claim
- Develop a full accounting of what you are owed, including economic and non-economic damages
- File all appropriate insurance claims, negotiating aggressively during settlement talks and pursing personal injury lawsuits if the insurance companies refuse to pay
If you have been seriously injured, an insurance company may jump at the chance to get you to sign away your rights before talking to an attorney. Do not give a statement or agree to anything without contacting our experienced legal team. We will review any settlement offer for free and discuss what your personal injury claim may truly be worth.

Compensation a Personal Injury Attorney Davis Can Get For You
After an accident that has caused serious injuries, it takes time to understand the true costs and losses you will suffer. This is another reason to be wary of quick personal injury settlement offers: They cannot be based on the true value of your losses.
As our attorneys develop your claim, we will consider costs for:
- Medical bills. All of your current medical expenses should be paid, including fees for emergency response, surgery, hospitalization, medication, doctors’ visits, physical therapy, psychological counseling for trauma, etc.
- Future medical costs. The cost of anticipated medical treatment and related needs should be paid, as well. This may include delayed treatment, such as reconstructive surgery; assistive devices, such as wheelchairs or prosthetics; recurring needs, such as medication or therapy; or anticipated needs, such as long-term residential care for someone with a degenerative injury.
- Lost wages. This includes all unrealized earnings because of missed time from work during recuperation from an injury, including time away from the job for doctor’s appointments, physical therapy, etc.
- Future lost income. This is projected losses from unrealized earnings if an injury results in diminished earning capacity. A proper calculation considers lost wages or salary, as well as the value of fringe benefits and anticipated raises or income increases due to promotion or other career advancement that are unrealized because of injuries.
- Pain and suffering. By law, you may also seek compensation for physical pain, stress, emotional turmoil, disruption of lifestyle, and loss of enjoyment of life you have suffered due to the accident and your injuries.
- Property loss or damage. This is for anything you own that was damaged in the accident, in particular the cost of repairing or replacing a motor vehicle after a car accident.
As you can see, some of these costs can be determined right away, while others simply cannot. Our legal services include determining what you truly deserve for your accident and injuries based on the evidence, and then pressing insurers in negotiations for comprehensive payments. When insurers will not do what’s right, we prepare and file personal injury lawsuits.
As the processes required of a lawsuit unfold and new evidence comes to light, we will prepare to prevail in court but also continue to negotiate with insurers. It is possible to settle a personal injury claim through negotiations at any time before a jury returns its verdict.
We will advise you of any settlement offers we receive, along with our opinion of the offer compared to what we expect from a trial. Whether to accept a claim is always the client’s decision. Accepting a settlement closes the case and results in nearly immediate payment and disbursal of the compensation recovered.

Davis Personal Injury Lawyer Protects Your Right to Claim Compensation
If you or a loved one has been in an accident that may lead to a personal injury claim for compensation, there are steps to take to protect your rights. As you and/or someone assisting you are able to, you should:
- See a doctor. Visit a doctor as soon as possible after being injured in an accident, if you have not already received emergency medical care. Some serious injuries cause symptoms on a delayed basis. Obtaining medical care also establishes a record of your injuries for a claim. Once you are under medical care, follow all doctors’ orders. Failing to do so could be used as evidence that you are not seriously hurt.
- Report the accident. Let someone with authority know about your accident and that you were injured, whether police or security, the owner or manager of the business where you were hurt, a work supervisor, etc. Fill out any forms required, and ask for a copy. If there is no policy for reporting an accident, get an email or postal mail address and send a description of what happened to you as soon as possible.
- Gather accident scene evidence. Get photos of the accident scene, such as the hazard that caused you to fall or vehicle damage from a car crash. Get contact information for witnesses. Save any personal property that was damaged or soiled in the accident as it is.
- Keep records of your accident and recovery. Start a file and keep every record, report, receipt, correspondence, photo, etc., connected to your accident and injuries, particularly anything about money. Write down what happened the day you were hurt, including just before and immediately after the accident. Note anything that could have an effect on how the accident is portrayed, such as if you had a drink at lunch or were on the phone at the time of the accident. Document your recovery, including medical appointments and procedures, pain, progress, setbacks, and any work or leisure activities you miss because of your injury.
- Keep accident details to yourself. Share details of your accident, injury, and medical care only with your doctor(s) and attorney(s). Keep it out of social media. Don’t talk to people about potential legal action.
- Be careful with insurance companies. Insurance adjusters are not on your side. You are not legally obligated to speak with an insurance adjuster. Spend as little time as possible with insurers, and be careful what you say. Do not accept blame for your accident or downplay the extent of your injuries. Do not comment about other parties involved in the accident. Never sign anything an insurance representative presents to you after an accident unless an attorney working for you has said you should. Refer any communications from insurers to your attorney.
Contact an experienced Davis personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident to ensure your rights are protected. A lawyer has legal and ethical obligations to work in your interests once you engage him or her as your attorney. Your lawyer must keep what you say confidential. Be open and honest with your attorneys so they may develop the strongest case possible for you.
