We were recommended to Eason & Tambornini by my brother-in-law after he had a great experience with them, and we're glad we reached out. We worked with Eric and Francesca, who were both incredibly nice to work with, responsive, patient, and always helpful throughout the entire process. They took care of everything for us and made the whole experience as easy and stress-free as possible. I also really appreciated that there were no upfront costs and that their payment was simply taken out of the final settlement. We had a great experience overall and would definitely recommend them.
Worked with them for a car accident and I was satisfied with the professionalism and the persistence of standing up for me. Would recommend!
We are incredibly grateful for everything this firm did for my dad. They guided us through the entire process, took the time to explain everything, and made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. A special shout-out to Alex for always taking our calls, being patient, and making sure my dad understood everything, especially since English isn’t his first language. We truly appreciate all the hard work and dedication. Highly recommend!
My family and I worked with Eason & Tambornini after a car accident and I’m so grateful we found them. The aftermath of the accident was stressful and overwhelming but from the moment we reached out they were there to support us. I especially want to recognize Francesca. She was absolutely wonderful to work with—always easy to communicate with, incredibly helpful, and most importantly so understanding and compassionate. She made everything feel manageable without ever making us feel overwhelmed. Her kindness and genuine care really stood out to us. I appreciate their hard work and dedication to our case & I would absolutely recommend Eason & Tambornini.
I was injured in a hit and run accident which left me in a state of shock. I called Eason and Tambornini. Within a few days, I was visited by Chris and assured they would be with me all the way. By the time I met Kristen, she was well into processing and compiling documents and clearly assured me I would receive the best of care. I felt full inclusion from day one. You can trust the team at Eason Tambornini for all your needs. Thanks to you
Mine was a difficult case involving 4 separate insurance companies. My attorney was patient, persistent, knowledgeable, firm, and resourceful. Excellent - well pleased!
Everyone was very easy to talk to, friendly and helpful.
The SIBTF Process I needed to stop working because of job related injuries. After receiving my workers compensation settlement, I worried about getting another job that could supplement my retirement. Staff at Eason & Tamborini explained that I might be eligible for the SIBTF program. SIBTF is a complicated process. Eason & Tamborini walked me through the requirements and handled the paperwork. It was worth the wait. They kept me updated regarding new developments. When a settlement was reached, I was surprised to learn that I would not have to take on a new job to supplement my retirement. The SIBTF checks I receive each month are a huge help. Special thanks to Omar, Erin, Elideth, Miraslav, Wendy and others who worked hard to make this possible. Thank you.
Very professional and friendly experience. Will use and recommend this law firm for any future needs. Rando Rodriguez is truly the best and all of his associates as well.
I really want to emphasize how incredible this team is, from Seth - the lawyer who handled my case, Becca the legal assistant or Michelle who I believe was apart of the support staff; the same result every time: incredible communication and follow through. From the moment that I met Seth, he was clear on what his role was, How the case would proceed forward, And gave clear guidance on what I should do. He explained the legal theory around the case, And as a result, resolved my matter getting more than 200% more than we had expected. To say that he was a great lawyer would be an understatement. He was also an incredible human. His story and called to action for why he got into this business resonate throughout his work. I would recommend anyone use this firm if you find yourself in any personal injury related matter. Thank you again Eason and Torbornini. And thank you Seth.

Sacramento Bicycle Accident Attorneys

How much does a Sacramento bicycle accident lawyer cost?

Sacramento bicycle accident attorneys at Eason & Tambornini operate on a pure contingency fee basis, meaning there are zero upfront legal costs and you pay nothing unless we secure a financial settlement or verdict. This fee structure guarantees injured cyclists immediate access to seasoned trial advocates without worsening their current financial strain.

What is the statute of limitations for a bicycle accident claim in Sacramento?

Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, you have a strict two-year deadline from the exact date of the bicycle accident to file a formal lawsuit. Missing this statutory window acts as a permanent bar to recovery, stripping away your legal standing to pursue compensation regardless of how clearly negligent the driver was.

What is the difference between tangible and intangible losses in a cycling crash?

To prevent auto insurance adjusters from minimizing your long-term recovery, our legal team aggressively quantifies both categories of damages: tangible losses represent concrete, verifiable financial receipts like medical bills and lost wages, while intangible losses account for subjective, non-economic damages such as chronic physical pain, emotional trauma, and diminished quality of life.

Overcoming the “Mortgage Gap” and Pure Comparative Negligence

A catastrophic cycling injury introduces a brutal financial reality known as the mortgage gap. While your income drops to zero, rent, mortgage payments, and daily expenses pile up alongside out-of-pocket medical deductibles. Insurance adjusters exploit this exact stress point, stretching out the claims timeline to pressure you into accepting a lowball settlement.

Compounding this pressure is California’s pure comparative negligence system. Insurance defense lawyers frequently try to shift a portion of the blame onto the cyclist. Under this rule, your final financial recovery is reduced by your assigned percentage of fault. Our role is to technically dismantle these comparative-fault arguments using accident-reconstruction data, ensuring your net recovery is maximized.

High-Risk Infrastructure and Local Traffic Corridors

Sacramento’s mild climate and rising fuel costs have drastically increased the volume of daily bicycle commuters. However, the city’s aging infrastructure has not kept pace with this growth, leading to exceptionally high casualty rates. In fact, federal highway data ranks Sacramento County eighth deadliest nationwide for cyclists, averaging 3.2 fatalities per 100,000 residents.

Our legal team regularly investigates collisions tied directly to specific local design hazards:

  • North B & 12th Streets:High-volume commercial truck traffic and tight turning areas that routinely create blind-spot hazards for cyclists.
  • Fruitridge Rd.& Stockton Blvd: Wide, multi-lane intersections where high-velocity cross-traffic frequently fails to yield to straight-moving cyclists.
  • West El Camino & Truxel Rd:Suburban retail congestion leading to unpredictable lane changes and aggressive merging.
  • Florin Rd.& Power Inn Rd: Industrial corridors where heavy machinery traffic intersects with commuter lanes, leaving cyclists highly vulnerable to severe impact.
  • Northgate Blvd.& San Juan Rd: Lack of protected bike lanes combined with high speed limits, creating extreme risks for rear-end collisions and side-swipes.
