Sacramento Pedestrian Accident Attorneys

Over $400 Million Recovered for Our Clients

From downtown to the suburbs, Sacramento is walkable. Pedestrian traffic is common, but the human body is no match for a vehicle. When a distracted driver hits a pedestrian, even at 20 m.p.h., the results can be devastating. The human body absorbs 100% of the impact force. Traumatic, life-altering injuries are common in pedestrian accidents. At Eason & Tambornini, our Sacramento pedestrian accident attorneys cut through the insurance company stall tactics, handle the medical evidence mapping, and build cases designed to force adjusters to pay for your complete recovery, protecting you in the short and long term.

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.
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.

How much does a Sacramento pedestrian accident lawyer cost?

Sacramento Pedestrian Accident AttorneysSacramento pedestrian accident attorneys at Eason & Tambornini operate on a strict contingency fee basis. This “no win, no fee” promise means no upfront costs or out-of-pocket bills. We get paid a percentage of your final successful insurance settlement or court trial verdict.

What is the statute of limitations for a pedestrian injury claim in Sacramento?

Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, a strict two-year deadline “clock” starts to tick the day you get hit. If the deadline passes, you lose your right to pursue compensation, regardless of your injuries.

What is the difference between tangible and intangible losses in a pedestrian case?

On the official Judicial Council of California Statement of Damages form, tangible losses are specific financial items, including concrete receipts such as emergency room bills and lost earnings. Intangible losses cover your personal, non-financial damages, including physical pain, suffering, inconvenience, and emotional distress. Tangible losses are calculated with a calculator; intangible losses are much harder to determine, which makes it critical to hire an experienced attorney. 

Defeating the “Mortgage 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.

California’s Comparative Negligence Rules

It’s a common insurance tactic to use California’s pure comparative negligence rules to shift blame your way. For example, if you stepped off the curb near Arden Fair Mall while you were looking at your phone, they may successfully argue that you were 25% or 30% responsible for your injuries. That same portion will be deducted from your final settlement.

High-Incident Sacramento Pedestrian Danger Zones

Statistics don’t lie. Sacramento’s surface streets pose daily dangers for people on foot. Wide commercial corridors, where the distance between marked crosswalks is long, don’t help. In our 30 years of practicing law in Sacramento and protecting victims of pedestrian accidents, we have a clear understanding of local roads and the issues they pose.

  • Commercial zones and intersections with multiple lanes, such as Stockton Boulevard and Florin Road, see a high number of failure-to-yield incidents, especially during evening hours.
  • Shopping and retail areas that are heavily traveled day and night, like those surrounding Arden Fair Mall, are frequently the scene of distracted drivers backing out of stalls or cutting through parking lanes, striking pedestrians.
  • Suburban commuter routes like the fast-moving Sunrise Blvd and Greenback Lane dramatically increase the severity of a physical impact.

Sacramento Medical & Legal Resources

Securing immediate medical charting (documentation) is the most critical step to protect your health and establish an official record of legal causation for your insurance file.
