When I came out of surgery and finally woke up, Kyle Tambornini was right there, thanks to my older brother who called Kyle at Eason and Tambornini while I was in surgery. Kyle was right there assuring me that, himself and his amazing team/staff are going to do everything they can to make sure that I get everything that I was going to need to recover from this tragic accident.

I would highly recommend this law firm. I have sent three of my friends here who have all settled their cases. Just remember that these kind of cases are not handled overnight , so you need to be patient if you want the best outcome for your injury. I picked this law firm due to the decent reviews I had heard so many bad stories about other law Firms and lawyers while watching my friends go through some pretty horrible injuries at work. I didn't get exactly what i felt my injury deserves but close
Enough. Rando was my lawyer. He communicated well and fought a good fight for me. He didn't force me to take any settlements Or anything of that nature Which I heard happens a lot. Thank you guys I appreciate the hard work.

Rando Rodriguez is professional, knowledgeable, and very patient. We won our case with a 100% outcome. Yurika Rodriguez., legal Assist., was professional and kind always. Excellent legal team

Had a great experience at Eason & Tambornini! They made the paperwork process super easy, and everyone was really nice. Huge shoutout to Andreina Valerio for being so helpful, kind and caring. Definitely recommend!

My Worker's Compensation case was extremely complex and has been ongoing for 23 years. I had multiple lawyers and advocates throughout those years who were not able to help me. We reached out to Kyle K. Tambornini, and in a short time, he solved my case! Kyle is extremely competent and well-versed in legal matters. A true professional. He cares about his client's needs and wishes, yet he is always open and honest through every single step of the way. Kyle's Russian‐speaking Assistant, Alexandr, was a tremendous support to us as well. If you are struggling with a tough case and you are at a loss on what to do or who to turn to, Eason & Tambornini is the way to go! With Eason & Tambornini, you are in good hands. Kyle and Alexandr, my family and I are deeply grateful for your expertise and invaluable help!

Very helpful. They said since it's just property damage, it's not worth getting a lawyer. BUT, the attorney still took time to explain the next steps I should do

Rando Rodriguez, Andreina, and their team at Eason & Tambornini provided outstanding service throughout my dad’s SIBTF claim. Their dedication and proactive approach ensured a quick and smooth process with the Worker Comp's SIBTF office. I truly appreciate their attention to detail and commitment to getting things done efficiently. I highly recommend Eason & Tambornini for anyone in need of expert assistance with workers' comp and SIBTF claims.

Kris Helm and his entire team are AMAZING! They worked hard and efficiently to help me out when I was involved in a not-at-fault vehicle accident. Everything went so smooth and it really felt like I was able to recover while they worked on my case ! Definitely recommend! 🙌👏

Wrongful Death vs. Accidental Death

The specific circumstances of your loved one’s death determine how it is classified – wrongful death or accidental death. A primary criterion is the presence of intent (e.g., if someone acted recklessly or with negligence to inflict harm or cause death on purpose).

As a hypothetical example, suppose the driver of a car on the Dixon-Davis Bike Route, a known roadway shared by cyclists and vehicles, loses control due to distracted driving, such as texting. If that driver veers off the roadway, striking and killing a cyclist, it could be considered negligence and therefore warrant a wrongful death claim. Now, if a driver suffered a heart attack while driving, veered off the same roadway, and caused a cyclist’s death, the cause of death would likely be categorized as accidental.

How are settlement amounts calculated in wrongful death claims?

Several factors contribute to the settlement amount, including the deceased’s age, income, future earning capacity, and health at the time of the accident. The value of the deceased person’s lost benefits for their dependents would also be factored in, including pension, social security, health insurance, etc.

How Do Wrongful Death Cases Occur?

Wrongful death claims may result from a variety of situations and scenarios, including vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, product liability accidents, and premises liability accidents.

What are California’s Wrongful Death Laws and Statutes?

California Code of Civil Procedure § 377.60: As the primary statute governing wrongful death actions in California, this civil code determines when a claim can be filed and which type of damages may be recoverable.

Key Principles Present in Wrongful Death Cases: When someone’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct results in the death of another, certain surviving family members can seek compensation under Civil Procedure § 377.60.

What is the difference between economic vs. non-economic damages in wrongful death cases?

Economic damages are financial injuries associated with a dollar amount. They may include the cost of funerals, burials, or other financial injuries. Economic damages would also include financial support provided by the deceased person, calculated based on past earnings and contributions to the household. Lawyers depend on expert witnesses, such as accountants or financial planners, to determine these damages.

Non-economic damages are those that are not associated with a dollar amount and, as a result, are more complicated to calculate and prove. Considerations include: loss of emotional support such as love and companionship; loss of physical support and protection; loss of spiritual or moral guidance; and for spouses, loss of sexual relationships.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in California

As a way to hold responsible parties accountable for their actions, specific family members may pursue wrongful death claims under California law. Those family members include:

Spouse or domestic partner of the deceased
Surviving children of the deceased
Other: Under certain conditions, a parent or sibling may file a wrongful death claim if the deceased had no immediate family members.
