Quick Question
Top-Rated Construction Accident Attorneys in Sacramento.
How much does a Sacramento construction accident lawyer cost?
Sacramento construction accident attorneys at Eason & Tambornini handle injury cases on a contingency fee contract, meaning there are zero upfront costs; you pay nothing out of pocket. Our legal fees are paid strictly as a percentage of your final insurance settlement, workers’ comp award, or court verdict.
What is the statute of limitations for a construction accident claim in Sacramento?
The statute of limitations under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 is clear: You have two years to file a third-party negligence lawsuit. However, basic workers’ compensation claims often require you to notify your employer within 30 days, making immediate legal action critical.
What is the difference between tangible and intangible losses for injured workers?
Tangible losses come with receipts, like emergency room bills, X-ray invoices, and documented lost wages from missed work. Intangible losses do not. These types of damages compensate for subjective, personal losses without a fixed price tag and are therefore harder to calculate. They include permanent physical pain, emotional trauma, and loss of life quality.
Protecting Against the “Mortgage and Rent Gap” Trap
Insurance adjusters know you have a gap between your income and your bills after an accident that has left you unable to work. They may delay your claim on purpose to entice you to accept a lowball offer—one that doesn’t come close to covering your long-term expenses. We will protect you against this trap.
Under California law, you generally cannot sue your direct employer for a job accident; your basic remedy is limited to workers’ compensation benefits. However, if your injury was caused by a careless general contractor, a separate subcontractor, a property owner, or a faulty equipment manufacturer, you can file a “Third-Party Liability” claim.
High-Risk Local Worksite Settings
Construction workers face physically threatening environments daily, with electrocutions, falls, machinery accidents, and being struck by an object among the deadliest. In fact, the construction industry consistently drives roughly 17% of all occupational fatalities in California. With ongoing local growth, serious accidents happen regularly across several major Sacramento construction zones:
- Commercial Property Sites: Crane failures, electrical injuries, and high-altitude falls at major commercial sites near Golden One Arena and Downtown Sacramento.
- Industrial and Transit Corridors: Heavy equipment accidents and OSHA violations in the industrial neighborhoods bordering Jefferson and Harbor Boulevards.
- Suburban Housing Developments: Trench collapses and tool accidents within the expanding residential subdivisions off Arena Boulevard, Rancho Cordova, and East Roseville Parkway.

Pro Parking Tip: Avoid the highly inflated prices of private parking lots directly next to the courthouse building, which usually fill up completely before the early morning rush. Instead, park at the secure municipal City Hall Garage located at 10th and I Streets.
Courthouse Security Alert: Every visitor must clear the mandatory weapons screening at the main doors. Make sure to arrive at least 45 minutes early for your scheduled appearance. The 2026 morning calendar calls are extremely crowded, and walking in late will not help your case.
Do not let a quick insurance check or confusing employer paperwork keep you from the full compensation you are legally owed.
