Eason and Tambornini, A Law Corporation ROCKS! I have been represented by Kyle Tambornini since approximately 2016 on a few cases, and I can confidently say that Kyle and his entire team are exceptional. When I look back on the years they worked with me, one thing stands out clearly: Kyle never promised me anything he could not guarantee. What he did promise was that he would work hard for me, and he absolutely followed through. To have your attorneys number and have him answer when you have questions has been such a satisfaction, I can’t explain to you the comfort it made me feel. Kyle and his team guided me through every step of each case with patience, clarity, and professionalism. They made sure I understood what was happening, what my options were, and what the next steps would be. I never felt lost or confused because they were always there to explain everything in a way that made sense. Thanks to their dedication, persistence, and teamwork, I was awarded a settlement far larger than I ever expected. Their commitment to doing things the right way and fighting for the best possible outcome truly paid off. If you want a law firm that is honest, hardworking, and genuinely invested in your success, Eason and Tambornini is the team you want in your corner. First post many years ago: So far so good, not a lot of communication but it may be stuff I DONT UNDERSTAND. I can tell you that doctors talk highly of this place meaning they must take care of their customers...
This was the second car accident case Eason and Tambornini has handled for me. From the very beginning Eric and Francesca were very professional and helpful with every question I had. In both cases they always kept me in the loop of what was going on, which I really appreciated. The settlement checks were also very generous and I can’t thank them enough. I would highly recommend this law firm for any car accident case. You will not be disappointed if you decide to use this law firm. Thank you again for all your hard work.
Our experience with the team at Eason & Tambornini was exceptional. From the the very beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and cared about my concerns. They kept me informed throughout the entire process,answered my all questions promptly, and fought hard. Especially, want to thanks to Alex Dariychuk who assisted me with the all the paperwork, was patient, professional and always answered my questions. His support made the process much less stressful and helped everything go smoothly. Thanks again Eason & Tambornini A Law Corporation team!
Eason & Tamborini exceeded my expectations. Kristen and the entire team treated me with respect, communicated clearly, and worked diligently to obtain the best possible outcome for my case. The process was smooth, and I always felt like my concerns were being taken seriously. Highly recommended
I found myself no longer able to work due to injuries related to my job. I was unsure of what to do. I researched a number of workers compensation firms and ended up hiring Eason and Tamborini A Law Corporation. From the first moment I sat down withJennifer Eason and Erin Sharp, they eased my mind and made me feel like I was taken care of. I received the medical attention I needed. Follow up Dr. visits protected me from further injury. While working with Jennifer and Erin, I met with their coworker Omar, who was supportive and explained the process and each legal action. In addition to my workers compensation case, he researched and recommended that I file for the SIBTF trust fund due to my complicated medical background. Other assistants at the firm was offered by Elideth and Wendy, Navigating the whole process can be intimidating, so I appreciated that both of the attorneys (Jennifer and Erin) as well as their assistants (Elideth and Wendy) kept me updated and were always very informative. I highly recommend this firm. They treat clients with dignity, actually communicate and produce results.
I really recommend this office they are very helpful and professional they doing great job
This team has great communication and follow up. They really represent you at a high level, and gets you the results you deserve! I highly recommend for anyone that needs legal service to got with this group!
Honestly when my case started there were a couple people at the firm who dropped the ball on my case, which was very unfortunate. However once I got Caleb and Jazmine handling my case I feel that they did way more than the last 2 that i had to deal with. Caleb and Jazmine went above and beyond to help me and my case which has been dragging for 5 years. I do recommend this law firm. Just make sure Caleb and Jazmine are assigned to your case.
I was new to this city shortly before needing their help. And when I contacted them for my injury, they felt safe and reassured me that they would have my back and support me. And they did. 5 years later and they helped me with any and all of my questions, concerns, etc. Thank you to Justin, Daisy, Caleb and the whole crew♡

Sacramento Construction Accident Attorneys FAQs

Our Sacramento construction accident attorneys have successfully represented construction workers and, in some cases, family members if the victim has died as a result of their injuries in claims arising all over the Sacramento region, from scaffolding falls in Downtown Sacramento, crane accidents, heavy equipment failures throughout the North Sacramento region, employer negligence, contractors’ dangerous acts, OSHA violations, electrical injuries, and many other similar claims and locations.

Every case is unique. If you have been in a construction accident, your best chance of success is to hire a construction accident attorney with experience in this area of law. Then, you can learn about your options for winning a fair settlement to which the law says you are entitled.

Once you have applied for workers’ compensation benefits and have an Eason & Tambornini lawyer on your side, we will ensure you understand how the process works. Additionally, we will help guide you through the necessary medical treatment, ensure paperwork deadlines are met, and process your temporary disability payments on time so your focus can remain on healing.

When appropriate, our construction accident attorneys will transition the case to the Superior Court, where the ability to recover damages due to your injuries is usually better. Your personal injury attorney will handle both the prosecution of your case and the lien issues, if any, to maximize your recovery.

Our attorneys have strong relationships with leading structured settlement companies, which ensures that any settlement is protected against taxes and creditors.

Suppose the person who caused the construction accident was a general contractor, sub-contractor, property owner, or someone other than your employer. In this case, you may have the right to sue for your injuries. This is sometimes called “Third Party Liability,” your construction accident attorney can explain it to you in more detail if they think you have a case. One more reason you should speak with a construction accident attorney as soon as possible following a construction accident is to find out if you have rights beyond a workers’ compensation claim.

The workers’ compensation system forum typically does not provide enough relief to an injured worker but covers many immediate necessities such as medical treatment and temporary disability payments. Although a third-party claim in the Superior Court can take significantly longer, it typically provides a better remedy.

Additional Information on Construction Accidents

Construction is one of the most hazardous industries in California and nationally. In 2021, 79 fatalities were reported in the private construction sector in the state, most resulting from slips and falls. Nationally, 20% of fatal workplace accidents – over 1000 – were reported.

Don’t Wait to Apply for Workers’ Compensation

Our Sacramento construction accident attorneys will tell you this: If you are injured on a construction site, you must immediately apply for workers’ compensation benefits. From preliminary medical findings to testing, X-rays, surgeries, and ongoing rehabilitation, if necessary, there is no reason to wait and every reason to get going. At every stage of the process, you will be waiting for doctor appointments, test results, etc. It would be best if you had financial support now.

How Construction Accident Cases Differ From Other Personal Injury Cases

Due to the changing physical environment of a construction site, it is critical to hire a construction accident attorney immediately so that investigators can be on the scene to preserve evidence. Weather, construction progress, and other factors can only lose necessary proof. Your best strategy is to contact a reputable and experienced construction accident attorney as soon as you have reported the accident to your employer. Regardless of where they occur, whether in the countless new subdivisions in the suburbs of Rancho Cordova or Folsom, or commercial property sites near Golden One Arena, construction accidents usually involve two legal authorities, two separate courts, and two separate evidence obligations: workers’ compensation and superior court for negligence claims.

Filing a Lawsuit Against Your Employer

Filing a lawsuit against your employer for a construction site injury depends on whether negligence can be proven and whether your employer is exempt from a suit under workers’ compensation laws.

Under California law, you typically cannot sue your employer for an accident; your remedy is only workers’ compensation benefits. However, there may be circumstances where the worker’s compensation system allows you to sue your employer for misconduct or extra penalties.

First-Party Claims vs. Third-Party Claims

First-party claims are those made against your insurance carrier or claims against an insurance policy specifically for your benefit, such as workers’ compensation. Your construction accident attorney can provide more detailed information about restrictions or exceptions.

A third-party claim typically refers to a claim or a personal injury lawsuit you file against someone else, such as subcontractors, general contractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers, in the case of faulty products.

Third-party claims do not have the same limitations as workers’ compensation claims, but you generally must prove negligence in a third-party claim.

Statute of Limitations

One of the main reasons why it is imperative to contact an aggressive and skilled construction accident attorney like ours is because of something called a ‘statute of limitations.’ Simply put, a statute of limitations is the deadline for filing a lawsuit. In California, most negligence lawsuits are required to be filed within a certain amount of time. While exceptions are occasionally made, once the statute of limitations on a case passes (“expires”), the legal claim is no longer valid.

The period during which you can file a lawsuit varies dramatically depending on the type of legal claim. For some of the personal injury claims arising from a construction accident, the statute of limitations expires two years from the date of the injury. For some workers’ compensation benefits, the claim may be as short as one year or five years. Likewise, if a government entity is involved, the period can be as short as 180 days. The bottom line is that the statute of limitations is often the most complex issue and should never be risked. You should contact an attorney immediately to ascertain the time limits for your case’s specific facts.
