Sacramento Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Anti-Rider Bias and Highway Liability Litigation

A severe motorcycle crash on North Sacramento’s commuter lanes or busy suburban boulevards when you least expect it, changes everything for a rider. While you try to heal from road rash, shattered joints, or head trauma, auto insurance adjusters often try to find ways to pin the blame on you. At Eason & Tambornini, we get between the insurance companies and you to stop that unfair treatment. Our Sacramento motorcycle accident attorneys aggressively pursue the money needed to cover your lost wages and mounting medical bills so you can heal and get back to a normal life.

I had such a great experience with Eason & Tambornini. The process took some time, but I can honestly say it was absolutely worth the wait. They never rushed the process just to get the case settled and continued negotiating to get the best outcome possible for both me and my daughter. I especially want to thank Francesca Casique and Seth Bradley. Francesca was amazing throughout the entire process. She kept me updated, answered all of my questions (and I had plenty!), explained things in a way I could understand, and always made me feel comfortable reaching out. Seth continued to advocate for us and pushed for more even when the insurance company was ready to be done. In the end, I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. The patience paid off, and I truly appreciate the time, effort, and care they put into both of our cases. I would absolutely recommend Eason & Tambornini to anyone looking for a personal injury attorney. Thank you Francesca, Seth, and the entire team!
I had the pleasure of discussing my case with their attorney, Mark Steinberg. He helped me understand the process and what to expect moving forward. He, patiently, took the time necessary to answer all of my questions. His expertise was evident....all the way, a pleasant and knowledgeable individual !!
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.

Sacramento Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

How much does a Sacramento motorcycle accident lawyer cost?

Sacramento motorcycle accident attorneys at Eason & Tambornini handle injury cases on a contingency fee contract, meaning there are no upfront costs and 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 motorcycle accident claim in Sacramento?

Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, you have a strict two-year deadline. After that, you may be permanently barred from pursuing compensation from the at-fault parties.

What is the difference between tangible and intangible losses after a motorcycle crash?

Tangible losses are supported by receipts, invoices, and other documentation. For example, emergency room bills, future surgical estimates, and documented lost wages from missed work. Intangible losses are less clear-cut. They don’t have price tags because they are subjective. They take into consideration how living with permanent physical pain and emotional trauma affects and impacts your life.

Bad Faith Tactics and the “Mortgage or Rent Gap”

Insurance adjusters love to play games with motorcycle claims. When a bad wreck leaves you facing a massive financial gap because you are missing work shifts, the car insurance company may intentionally delay the payout process. They do this because they know your rent and daily bills do not pause, and they want you to get desperate enough to accept a much lower settlement. Intentionally stalling insurance payouts is illegal in California. We will protect you from that practice.

Combatting Anti-Rider Bias

To make matters worse, riders face a huge obstacle known as anti-rider bias. Insurance defense lawyers and adjusters automatically assume that if you ride a motorcycle, you must have been speeding or acting recklessly. They routinely use this stereotype to shift blame onto you under California’s pure comparative negligence rules. They might claim you were unsafely lane-splitting. Under these fault rules, if an adjuster successfully blames you for 30% of a crash, your final financial award is slashed by exactly 30%. Our legal team stops that finger-pointing by using physical scene evidence, helmet camera logs, and witness statements to keep your assigned fault at zero.

High-Traffic Commuter Corridors and Motorcycle Risks

Sacramento’s busy roadways present daily dangers for riders, especially during congested morning and evening commute hours. Our injury legal team regularly investigates liability and gathers evidence for crashes across these primary local danger zones:

  • The Business 80 and Interstate 5 Interchange: A chaotic bottleneck point where distracted drivers suddenly switch lanes, cutting off riders and causing severe rear-end impacts.
  • Narrow Urban Streets (e.g., East Sacramento Grid): High-density surface streets where drivers turning out of tight avenues fail to check their blind spots, leading to devastating side-impact collisions.
  • North Sacramento Commercial Corridors: Industrial trucking routes where large commercial vehicles block rider visibility and cause severe failure-to-yield accidents.

Sacramento Medical & Legal Infrastructure

Securing comprehensive medical charting immediately after a crash is the most critical step to protect your health and prove clear legal causation to an auto insurance carrier.

Emergency & Trauma Care Facilities

  • UC Davis Medical Center (Level 1 Trauma Unit): 2315 Stockton Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95817 – (916) 734-2011
  • Sutter General Hospital: 2801 L St, Sacramento, CA 95816 – (916) 887-0000
  • Kaiser Permanente Sacramento Medical Center: 2025 Morse Ave, Sacramento, CA 95825 – (916) 973-5000

Sacramento County Civil Court Logistics

Most motorcycle injury claims are settled directly with insurance companies out of court. However, if the insurer refuses to cover your medical costs or lost wages fairly because of rider bias, our trial attorneys file a formal lawsuit within the local civil system.

  • Courthouse Name: Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye Courthouse
  • Street Address: 500 G Street, Sacramento, CA 95814
  • Civil Clerk’s Office Phone: (916) 874-5522
  • Operating Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM

Parking Tips for the Courthouse: Avoid the pricey private parking lots immediately surrounding the courthouse building, which consistently fill up before the early morning rush. Instead, park at the secure municipal City Hall Garage located at 10th and I Streets.

Security Screening Alert: Every visitor must clear the mandatory weapons screening at the main (and only) entrance. Make sure to build in a minimum 45-minute time buffer before your scheduled appearance. Due to recent administrative adjustments, the 2026 morning calendar calls are highly crowded, and walking in late can severely prejudice your standing with the judge.

Do not allow an auto insurance representative to pressure you into a quick, low settlement before you know the true physical and financial cost of your injuries. Call Eason & Tambornini today at (916) 438-1819 to review the facts of your situation with an experienced Sacramento motorcycle accident lawyer.
