Sacramento personal injury law firm Demas Law Group, P.C. announced that two of its trial attorneys, founder John Demas and litigation attorney Tim Spangler, will serve as featured speakers at the upcoming Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC) Napa/Sonoma Travel Seminar. The event takes place March 13–14 at The Meritage Resort in Napa, California, bringing together hundreds of trial lawyers from across the state for continuing legal education programs focused on the latest developments in personal injury litigation, trial strategy, and complex civil cases.
John Demas will speak and moderate the session "Auto Litigation: Product Liability, Damages, and Reconstruction." The program will explore advanced litigation strategies used in serious car accident cases, including vehicle defect claims, accident reconstruction analysis, and proving damages in catastrophic injury cases. Demas has been invited to speak at numerous legal education events and previously addressed the CAOC seminar on emerging trends in auto accident litigation. He has also been a featured speaker at professional events hosted by organizations such as the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA).
Tim Spangler will speak during the session "Nuances of Litigation Against Government Entities of All Kinds." The presentation will examine the complex legal issues that arise when public agencies, municipalities, and law enforcement entities are involved in injury litigation, including emergency vehicle immunity, claims against public universities and institutions, and cases involving dangerous roadway conditions. With more than 25 years of experience as a civil litigator, Spangler brings a unique perspective from his prior roles in insurance defense, as trial counsel, and as former chief counsel for the Sacramento Regional Transit District.
Hosted jointly by the Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC) and the Capitol City Trial Lawyers Association (CCTLA), the annual seminar represents a significant opportunity for legal professionals to enhance their practice. The participation of experienced attorneys like Demas and Spangler contributes to the overall quality of continuing legal education available to California trial lawyers.
