Animal Attack Liability and Insurance Litigation

A dog attack that comes out of nowhere in a South Sacramento park or North Highlands changes your life in an instant.

At Eason & Tambornini, our Sacramento dog bite attorneys simplify and push back on the confusing insurance defense arguments.

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.

Justin Drake and his team were very kind and very efficient as well as through. We had nothing but good conversations about my case and Justin did go above and beyond for me. I had a Workmans compensation case and I would highly recommend Justin and I’d hire him again if I needed to. I’d like to add Christi Willams was gracious, speedy, and knowledgeable and a wonderful part of the team. TR

I would just like to say that this process was a long and hard fought one but from start to finish Justin Drake our attorney and his team Yurica and Eli made it as easy and seamless as possible. They were there for us every step and went to bat for us. If you are needing experienced, knowledgeable and caring staff look no further than Eason and Tambornini. The workers compensation industry is a joke and often time not beneficial to us the workers, it’s nice knowing there is people out there that will advocate for you when often you’re taken advantage of.

Incredibly kind and professional answers to all my questions always met with the perfect answer. I was always treated with respect and never felt disconnected from the whole process. Everyone is a really good communicator which made everything so much easier that the staff is outstanding and super friendly, they definitely know what they’re doing. I’d go there again if I had a problem I was very impressed and give them a whole five stars and I thank them for all their hard work. Outstanding group of people thank you for all your help. I’m so grateful.

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

How much does a Sacramento dog bite lawyer cost?

Sacramento dog bite 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 taken directly from your final successful insurance settlement or court trial verdict.

What is the statute of limitations for a dog bite claim in Sacramento?

Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, you have a strict two-year deadline from the exact date of the dog bite to file a formal lawsuit. Missing this statutory window serves as a permanent bar to recovery, destroying your legal standing to pursue compensation regardless of the severity of your scars.

What is the difference between tangible and intangible losses in an animal attack case?

Tangible losses are those supported by paperwork and receipts: emergency room invoices, estimates for future reconstructive surgery, and documented lost wages. Intangible losses compensate for personal damages that don’t come with a receipt, including the reality of living with permanent facial or limb disfigurement, severe nerve pain, and ongoing psychological trauma.

Handling the Stress of the “Mortgage Gap” and California’s Strict Liability

When you are healing from dog bite injuries and not working, rent or mortgage payments and daily bills do not let up. Homeowners, renters, and landlord liability insurance adjusters understand this stress, and they often delay the negotiation process to indirectly pressure you into accepting a lowball settlement. We will protect you from this trap.

To protect your recovery, our legal team draws on California’s strict liability dog-bite laws. Under California Civil Code § 3342, a dog owner is held legally responsible if their animal bites someone in a public place or lawfully in a private place—regardless of whether the dog has ever shown aggression before.

Pure Comparative Negligence in California Dog Bite Claims

Insurance defense lawyers frequently try to shift blame under California’s pure comparative negligencerules. They will argue that you provoked the animal, ignored warning signs, or trespassed on their property in Midtown Sacramento or in the suburbs of Citrus Heights or Orangevale. If an adjuster successfully pins a percentage of fault on you, your final financial award is reduced by that exact amount. Our attorneys build bulletproof evidence records to defeat these deflection tactics to keep your assigned fault at zero.

High-Risk Local Neighborhoods and Insurance Variables

Animal attacks happen across all areas of the city, but local animal control records point to a higher volume of severe encounters within specific geographic zones:

South Sacramento:Residential areas where unconfined or loose stray dogs create sudden safety hazards on public walkways.
North Highlands (Watt Avenue Corridor):High-traffic commercial and industrial perimeters prone to off-leash perimeter incidents.
Midtown Sacramento:Densely populated urban neighborhoods where high concentrations of pets in public spaces lead to failure-to-control situations.

Sacramento Medical & Legal Resources

Securing a comprehensive medical evaluation immediately after an attack is the most critical step to establish clear legal causation and prevent dangerous infections. You might think you are fine, but once the adrenaline wears off and the pain sets in, it’s a whole new situation. Additionally, dog bites can be extremely dangerous and lead to severe infections very quickly.
