Types of Personal Injury Cases We Specialize In
Automobile Accidents
Thomas Demas has advocated on behalf of victims of numerous automobile accidents in courtrooms throughout the state of Florida. Every year, thousands of people are injured as a result of automobile or motor vehicle accidents. Drivers who speed, drive while intoxicated, or are simply careless are frequently responsible for serious and fatal accidents.
Our firm will never charge any fees or costs unless we recover money for you. That means that until you approve your settlement, we cannot charge you any money to represent you.
If you have been injured in a car accident, it is important to contact a Lake City car accident lawyer as soon as possible. Critical evidence such as tire tracks, skid marks, and eyewitness accounts can fade over time. Never under any circumstance give a recorded statement without the advice of an experienced personal injury attorney like Mr. Demas.
Take photographs of the property damage to the vehicles and/or automobiles involved in the accident and any visible injuries, such as scrapes, bruises, cuts, stitches, staples, etc. Most importantly, seek medical attention immediately.
Retaining an attorney early in the process will allow your attorney to investigate the accident and pursue your claim for compensation before the insurance company begins to build its case. If you have been injured in the Suwannee, Live Oak, or Columbia, Lake City area and need to speak with an experienced Florida personal injury lawyer, we encourage you to contact Mr. Demas.

Premises Liability
Two common types of injury claims are Slip and Fall and Trip and Fall cases. In legal terms, these are Premises Liability legal actions.
A Florida slip and fall liability case can be filed by a victim who is hurt because of the negligence or carelessness of someone else. Unfortunately, thousands of Florida slip and fall accident victims are eligible to make these claims every year after suffering injuries caused by property owners who failed to use reasonable care to warn of hazards or remove dangerous conditions from their property.
The following are some of the dangerous conditions that can cause injury and may be the basis for a premises liability claim:
Property owners have an obligation to maintain their premises in a reasonable and safe manner. When grocery stores, restaurants, apartments, and other businesses fail to properly protect visitors from slip and fall or trip and fall accidents, they can be held responsible for the damage caused by their negligence.
Thomas Demas represents people throughout the North Florida area who have suffered a personal injury resulting from a slip and fall or trip and fall accident. Our firm handles claims against individuals and businesses whose negligent property maintenance, failure to warn, failure to inspect, or failure to repair has caused a personal injury.
Examples of businesses that may be subject to a slip and fall claim include:
If you have been injured in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident on a commercial or residential property, we can help. Before talking to the insurance company, contact Mr. Demas and know your rights as it relates to the injury you've sustained. Mr. Demas has the knowledge and experience to handle your case with the highest level of competence and professionalism.
Product Liability
When a product fails to perform as promised and causes an injury, illness, or loss of life, legal action must be taken quickly to seek justice for the injured and their families. These cases are increasing in recent years, as many more products are manufactured overseas where the controls and restrictions in manufacturing are less stringent than in the U.S.
If you or a loved one has been harmed as a result of the above errors, Thomas Demas in Lake City, Florida can help you.
