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.

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.
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.

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.
