Daisy, Alex & Jazmine were very attentive and made sure I was informed at all times during my case, I will definitely work with them again if I had to. They are a very professional establishment.

I had a wonderful experience at Eason & Tambornini's Law. Kyle Tambornini was my attorney. He was down to earth, friendly, and thorough. My case settled for much more than the original offer. This wouldn't have been possible without this office. If I ever need an attorney in the future, I'm calling him!

Thank you Seth and Francesca!
I can't say enough great things about this law firm. They were able to accomplish more for us than even the police could, and we are so grateful for their dedication. From the very beginning, they treated both me and my husband with respect and genuine care. They kept us informed every step of the way, always making sure we felt supported and understood. Their professionalism and compassion truly set them apart, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal help.

Eric, Shelley, and Francesca were so amazing with guiding me through my case. My case took a while but Shelley or Francesca were consistently prompt in responding to me and reassuring me that I was not forgotten. Eric always made sure that I understood the process and was very prepared. I would highly recommend Eason & Tamborini for anyone looking for legal help.

I had a great experience with them. The whole team was very helpful. Erin gave me really good advise and very knowledgeable. Thank you

After being rear-ended on the freeway, I initially began navigating medical care, assessments, and referrals through my health providers. As the process became more complex, I realized I needed an attorney who could advocate for the care, resources, and support I deserved.

I spoke with several other law offices before ultimately choosing Eason & Tambornini—and I am incredibly grateful that I did.

When I first called the office, attorney Kyle Tambornini personally answered the phone. What stood out immediately was that the conversation didn’t feel like a typical intake call. Kyle took the time to truly listen. He demonstrated genuine empathy, care, and concern for what I had experienced. It felt less like a business transaction and more like speaking with someone who sincerely wanted to help and advocate on my behalf.

From that moment forward, the entire team reflected the same level of professionalism, compassion, and expertise.

Kristen Vaught, my paralegal, was absolutely exceptional. She became a trusted guide and steady source of support throughout the entire process. Kristen was always accessible, whether it was answering questions, meeting impromptu when concerns arose, or simply providing reassurance during what can be a very stressful experience. Her responsiveness, kindness, and attention to detail made a tremendous difference.

I also had the privilege of working with attorney Kistofor Helm, who handled my case with remarkable skill and professionalism. He guided me through every stage, including preparing me for my deposition, with confidence and clarity. His strategic insight and astute counsel were invaluable. At one point, when I was ready to settle early, he took the time to explain the importance of patience and leverage in the process. Because I trusted his expertise and guidance, the case ultimately resulted in a far more favorable outcome than I initially expected.

The combination of legal expertise, strategic advocacy, and genuine human care is what truly sets Eason & Tambornini apart.

If you are looking for a law firm that is highly skilled, trustworthy, compassionate, and deeply committed to their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Eason & Tambornini. Their team not only delivers exceptional legal representation—they walk alongside you with integrity and care every step of the way.

Daisy was very helpful and professional throughout my adventure. E&T. she is an asset to your firm. You are fortunate to have her!

Kyle and his team did a great job

This law firm advocates on behalf of their clients and community. After my consultation with Omar, I felt more confident moving forward with my worker's compensation case. I am grateful for the help that was provided.

I’m genuinely happy with the result and the way the process was handled.
A big shoutout to Attorney Eric Wills — your steady guidance, clear communication, and strong leadership made a huge difference. You kept things moving, explained every step, and made the whole experience feel manageable.
And an equally big thank you to Francesca Casique, whose patience, consistency, and dedication stood out every single day. Her communication, follow‑through, and support made a complicated process feel smooth and organized.
Thank you for being such a reliable, professional team. I’m grateful for the work you put in and the outcome we achieved together.

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.
