Sacramento Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys

Over $400 Million Recovered for Our Clients

The Sacramento spinal cord injury attorneys at Eason & Tambornini have handled countless cases involving victims of spinal cord injuries caused by truck, vehicle, and motorcycle accidents, falls, construction sites, and other trauma. Spinal cord injuries can range from temporary pain and loss of movement to complete, permanent paralysis. In many cases, injuries are some of the most devastating types of injuries the human body can suffer, leading to loss of bodily function, inability to earn a living, and severe emotional distress for victims and families.

Many injury victims require partial, lifelong care and, in some cases, full-time or round-the-clock care and monitoring. However, like any injury, no two injuries are exactly alike or happen under the same circumstances. So, our legal team offers a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your situation. If we believe you have a viable claim and take your case, you will not pay any fees unless and until the case is settled in your favor.

No injury victim should feel pressured into settling their case without an attorney to look out for their best interests, especially with injuries as severe as those associated with spinal cord trauma.

We are proud members of the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce, Sacramento County Bar Association, Capitol City Trial Lawyers Association (CCTLA), and the State Bar of California.

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

Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) happens as a result of traumatic injury that bruises, partially tears, or completely tears (severs) the spinal cord. SCI is a common cause of permanent disability and death in children and adults.

Our lawyers have helped countless clients who have been injured through various means, including:

  • Car, motorcycle, truck, and pedestrian accidents
  • Sports injuries
  • Diving and other sports-related injuries
  • Falls
  • Trampoline accidents
  • Gunshots or stabbings
  • Infections
  • Construction site injuries

As our personal injury lawyers in Sacramento will tell you, no two cases are identical. However, because they can have such devastating impacts on a victim’s life, catastrophic spinal cord injury cases often result in high settlements. Suppose you have been in an accident resulting in a spinal cord injury. In that case, you should call our office immediately and schedule a free consultation to speak to a spinal cord injury lawyer who can advise you about whether you might have a valid claim. There is no obligation and no consultation fee.

Typically, the first several months following a spinal cord injury will involve many doctor appointments for testing, X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and other procedures to determine the extent of your injuries. Additionally, the first year following an injury is typically the most expensive due to the many medical appointments and surgeries needed. This is yet another reason why it is essential to call a lawyer right away if you have been involved in an accident and doctors suspect an SCI.

Once your injury is understood and your condition has been stabilized, your doctor will advise you about rehabilitation. Changes to your life may include structural changes to your home to accommodate a wheelchair and modifications to your automobile if necessary and possible.

Throughout all of this, your spinal cord injury lawyer will handle the details of your claim so that you can focus on healing.

Settling Too Early: A Common Mistake Our Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys See

One of the most common mistakes our legal staff see is a client who wants to settle their case too early, including before the full extent of their injuries is known. A spinal cord injury victim may show few symptoms at first, or symptoms may come and go, leading victims to falsely believe they are getting better. Unfortunately, injuries can worsen if not treated properly from the beginning.

The Structure of the Spinal Cord

sacramento spinal cord injury attorneysThe spinal cord is a long tubular collection of nerve tissues and cells that, along with the brain, collectively make up the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is responsible for assembling information from all body parts and coordinating actions that the body performs, from moving fingers to walking. The body suffers tremendously when the central nervous system is impacted or damaged.

Our law firm takes these cases seriously because the consequences can be lifelong. Suppose you have been partially or fully paralyzed or have suffered some other type of spinal cord trauma. In that case, our law firm can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Common Types of Spinal Cord Injuries

Most injuries, including cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), lumbar (lower back), and sacral (tailbone area), seen by our lawyers, are caused by blunt trauma resulting from a car or truck accident, a fall, or a construction site accident. Various actions can injure the spinal cord, including twisting, stretching, pressure, laceration/severing, or abrupt movement.

Some injuries result from a disc (the pad between each vertebra) moving out of its normal position, either partially or fully. Other injuries may cause pinching or compression of a nerve or misalignment. Extreme injuries include the shattering or fracture of a disc or the spinal cord being severed completely.

The Costs of Spinal Cord Injuries for the Victims

  • According to the Spinal Cord Injury Network, the costs associated with spinal cord injuries are devastatingly high for the victims and their families:
  • First-Year Costs: $380,000 – over $1.6 million, depending on the location of the injury
  • Second and Subsequent-Year Costs: Depending on the severity, costs range from $50,000 to $200,000
  • Lifetime Costs: Based on the type of spinal cord injury and age at the time of injury, costs can range from $1.5 million to over $5 million

Symptoms of Spinal Cord Injuries

Typical symptoms associated with a spinal cord injury vary widely but may range from muscle weakness or localized pain to total body paralysis. Usual signs of a significant injury include shooting pains through an arm or leg, tingling in arms, legs, or fingers, no feeling at all, and an inability to move one’s arms and legs.

Our Sacramento spinal cord injury attorneys explain treatments for spinal cord injuries.

Injuries are challenging for medical professionals to treat effectively. However, research is ongoing, and as lawyers who have worked with many victims, we have seen some significant developments. Some of the most common treatments for spinal cord injuries include:

  • Spinal surgery: Doctors sometimes remove fluid, tissue, bone fragments, or foreign objects that affect the spinal cord. Other types of surgery include fusing broken spinal bones or inserting spinal braces to stabilize the injured area.
  • Traction: As one of the first treatments for injuries, traction can be successful for certain types of SCIs. It usually immobilizes the legs, stabilizing the spine and allowing the vertebrae to return to proper alignment.
  • Epidural Injections: These steroid treatments are often performed within several hours of the injury to reduce damage to nerve cells and decrease inflammation.
  • Physical therapy: Physical therapy is a conservative approach focusing on muscle strengthening and mobility.

Chiropractic care is also a conservative alternative to surgery. It focuses on realigning the spine through hands-on adjustments (movements) initiated by the practitioner.

Spinal Cord Injury Litigation

Our Sacramento spinal cord injury attorneys have successfully handled countless spinal cord cases. In addition to proving that the car accident, truck accident, construction site accident, or other trauma caused the injury, our attorneys work with physicians who classify spinal cord injuries and ensure that our clients receive the proper treatment.

Our legal staff is highly skilled at conveying the extent of the injury and its impact on the victim’s life to the insurance company, judge, and, when necessary, the jury. Securing a fair settlement depends on ensuring that all parties understand how the spinal cord injury has changed the victim’s life in the present and how it will continue to impact them in the future.
