Davis Workers’ Compensation Attorneys

How much does a Davis workers’ compensation lawyer cost?

Davis workers’ compensation attorneys at Eason & Tambornini operate on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning there are no out-of-pocket costs and no bill unless we win a settlement. Fees in California are regulated by law, providing members of the Davis community immediate access to senior trial expertise regardless of their current financial stability.

This “No Win, No Fee” model is designed to eliminate the financial barrier to justice. If you don’t win, we don’t get paid, period. Every attorney’s fee must be signed off by a workers’ compensation judge who reviews the work performed and the results achieved to ensure the charge is reasonable.

• No Upfront Costs: You don’t pay for the initial consultation or the costs of opening your file.
• Case Costs are advanced: We cover the expenses of securing medical evidence from facilities like Sutter Davis Hospital, so you don’t have to.
• The 5710 Fee Exception: If the insurance company wants to question you under oath in a deposition, they are often required to pay for your attorney’s time separately under Labor Code Section 5710. The insurer pays this specific fee, and it does not come out of your final settlement.

What is the statute of limitations for a Davis workers’ compensation claim?

In California, workplace injury claims for benefits have a strict one-year deadline, called the statute of limitations. However, you must report the injury to your Davis employer within 30 days to preserve your right to immediate medical care.

What is the difference between tangible and intangible losses in a work injury?

Tangible losses include quantifiable costs such as medical bills from Sutter Davis and disability payments for lost wages. Intangible losses, such as pain and suffering, are not recoverable in a standard workers’ compensation claim but may be pursued through a third-party personal injury lawsuit at the Yolo County Superior Court.

We have some of the highest rankings from Martindale-Hubbell: AV Preeminent, a rating system that evaluates fellow attorneys for legal expertise and ethical standards.

1. Our Davis personal injury attorneys fight for the medical evidence that matters. Proving long-term disability requires more than just a doctor’s note; it requires specific expert testimony that meets the latest state regulations.
2. Specialized advocacy for UC Davis and agricultural workers. Whether you’re a facilities staff member at the University or a technician in the Yolo County ag-tech corridor, you face unique occupational hazards.
3. We pursue every available dollar. This includes temporary and permanent disability payouts, and we also push for supplemental job-displacement vouchers. Your financial stability during recovery is our only priority.
