About Kyle K. Tambornini

Kyle K. Tambornini is a Senior Trial Attorney and co-founder of Eason & Tambornini, A Law Corporation, in Sacramento, California. With more than 34 years of legal experience and hundreds of court and jury trials to his credit, Kyle has built a reputation as a dedicated advocate for individuals injured in construction accidents, motor vehicle collisions, trucking accidents, and workplace incidents.

Before representing injured individuals, Kyle practiced as an insurance defense attorney. That experience gave him firsthand insight into how insurance companies evaluate, defend, and resolve claims. Recognizing the challenges injured people often face when pursuing compensation, he chose to focus his practice on helping those who have been harmed by the negligence of others.

In 1996, Kyle co-founded Eason & Tambornini with longtime friend and law school classmate Matthew R. Eason. Since the firm’s founding, Kyle has remained committed to providing clients with personal attention, honest guidance, and strong legal representation during some of the most difficult times in their lives.

In addition to representing clients, Kyle regularly speaks at continuing legal education programs and workshops for attorneys on workers’ compensation and personal injury matters. He also advocates for legislation and public policies designed to protect the rights of injured workers and consumers throughout California.

Areas of Practice

Notable Results

Throughout his decades of trial work, Kyle has recovered millions of dollars for his clients. He is widely recognized for taking on highly technical, high-stakes cases that other firms turn down or pressure clients to settle early. Notable case highlights include:

$5,700,000 Workers’ Compensation Settlement: A landmark settlement widely credited as one of the largest workers’ compensation case resolutions in Sacramento history, securing vital medical and financial support for life.
$5,000,000 Catastrophic Injury Settlement: Obtained for an electrical engineer who suffered a life-altering brain injury after delays in emergency medical intervention following a workplace cardiac event. The claim focused on failures in emergency response procedures and access to timely lifesaving care.
$3,900,000 Construction Accident Settlement: Secured for a worker who suffered catastrophic injuries after a fall from scaffolding at a residential construction project. The claim involved unsafe worksite conditions, inadequate training, and failures to provide required fall protection.

$1,200,000 Construction Site Fall Settlement: A complex personal injury case involving a catastrophic fall from a commercial job site. The client was heavily pressured by his original legal counsel to settle the matter for a mere $30,000. Recognizing the true extent of the structural liability and permanent injury, the client terminated his previous counsel and retained Kyle. Within less than a year, Kyle aggressively litigated the case and resolved it for forty times the original valuation.
