Don’t be fooled by insurance adjusters who want you to believe you are just clumsy.

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.
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.

Is there a statute of limitations for a slip and fall claim in Sacramento?

Sacramento Slip and Fall AttorneysYes, and it’s two years, and the clock starts ticking on the day of your injury. California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 is clear: Missing this statutory filing deadline bars recovery. Your claim will be permanently dismissed regardless of the severity of your medical bills.

How much does it cost to hire a Sacramento slip and fall lawyer?

A Sacramento slip and fall lawyer at Eason & Tambornini costs nothing unless and until you win. So no upfront fees or out-of-pocket expenses. This allows everyone to get the experienced legal help they need. Our legal recovery fee is paid solely as a pre-agreed percentage that comes out of your final successful insurance settlement or court trial verdict.

What is the difference between tangible and intangible losses in a slip-and-fall/premises liability case?

The difference is paper. Tangible losses come with receipts: emergency room bills and documented lost wages from missed shifts are typical examples. Intangible losses are trickier to calculate because they can’t be added up with a calculator. Living with chronic back pain, hip mobility issues, and the mental and psychological trauma of being injured all fall under the label of “intangible.”

The Reality of Premises Liability and Shifting Blame in Sacramento

Property owners owe a strict duty of care to visitors under California law. Broken glass in a grocery store aisle or pooled water in the bathroom are examples of violations of the duty of care.

Corporate defense lawyers routinely employ California’s pure comparative negligence rules to escape liability. They will aggressively argue that you were distracted by your phone while walking through a midtown restaurant, ignored an obvious hazard, or wore improper footwear. If they successfully pin 40% of the blame on you, your final court award drops by that exact percentage. We use eyewitness testimony and comprehensive physical and digital evidence, such as surveillance video, to keep your fault baseline at zero.

High-Risk Regional Locations and Local Hazards

Property hazards crop up across the entire grid, but specific regional zones present consistent dangers to pedestrians and patrons:

  • Commercial Strips along Florin Road: High-volume retail stores where rapid stock turnover frequently results in abandoned packing debris, loose pallets, and liquid spills left in high-traffic customer walkways.
  • Old Sacramento Historic District: Uneven wooden planks and historic cobblestone streets are enormously prone to causing severe falls, trips, and injuries.
  • Arden-Arcade Shopping Centers: High-density strip or indoor walking mall parking lots with deteriorating asphalt and potholes are notoriously dangerous.

Sacramento Resources for Emergency Medical Care

Don’t put off getting a thorough medical evaluation, even if you don’t hurt immediately after a slip and fall. It could ruin your case. Defense adjusters will pounce and argue that your torn ligament occurred somewhere else if it is not documented within hours of the fall.

  • UC Davis Medical Center: 2315 Stockton Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95817
  • Sutter Medical Center: 2825 Capitol Ave., Sacramento, CA 95816
  • Kaiser Permanente Sacramento Medical Center: 2025 Morse Ave, Sacramento, CA 95825
