Sacramento Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys

Protecting the Most Vulnerable Accident Victims

The last thing anyone wants to hear a doctor say while standing over their hospital bed is “spinal cord injury.” But according to national statistics, dozens of people in our region will hear those words each year. In fact, Sacramento likely sees 80 to 90 new cases of traumatic spinal cord injuries every year. The impact of a wreck on the Business 80 Elvas Freeway bottleneck or a heavy equipment failure at an industrial job site in South Sacramento can have the same effect on the delicate human spine: bruising, dislocation, or even severing. It’s an immediate medical crisis.

Whether the victim is a household’s sole source of income or not, your household will be up against the massive bills resulting from long-term treatment, surgeries, and rehabilitation. At Eason & Tambornini, our Sacramento spinal cord injury attorneys cut through red tape and stalling tactics of insurance adjusters to address the crushing financial realities of permanent paralysis and long-term care.

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.

How much does a Sacramento spinal cord injury lawyer cost?

sacramento spinal cord injury attorneysYou pay nothing until you win a settlement. If you don’t win, you don’t pay. A Sacramento spinal cord injury lawyer at Eason & Tambornini operates entirely on a contingency fee basis. We advance all litigation expenses, including filing fees and neurological expert witness costs. Our firm collects legal fees only as an agreed-upon percentage subtracted directly from your final successful insurance recovery or jury verdict.

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

The statute of limitations for a spinal cord injury claim in Sacramento is exactly two years from the day of the accident under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1. If you miss it, you will lose your right to seek compensation, period.

What is the difference between tangible and intangible losses in a spinal cord injury case?

If it’s on paper, it’s likely a tangible loss. Tangible losses are documented financial costs. Lost wages, emergency room bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, medicines, etc., all come with receipts or documentation and are therefore tangible losses. Intangible losses include the hardship of enduring pain and suffering, loss of function, and the profound changes to your independent quality of life.

The High Cost of Early Settlement Offers: Don’t Fall For Blame-Shifting

The first calendar year after a catastrophic spinal cord injury is the most punishing financially. And insurance adjusters know it. They will exploit your stress and pressure you to settle, even before the extent of your injuries and long-term outlook is known. We won’t let this happen to you.

Blame-shifting, with California’s pure comparative negligence rules in mind, is one of the first tactics insurance companies will use to minimize payouts systematically. For example, they will argue you caused your own injury by speeding through the Interstate 5 and Business 80 interchange or failing to follow safety protocols on a construction site. If they convince a judge that you are 30% at fault, your final recovery drops by that same amount.

We compile indisputable physical evidence, video surveillance, accident reports, and witness statements, and call on accident reconstruction experts to keep your liability baseline at zero.

High-Risk Sacramento Region Infrastructure

Spinal cord trauma is closely tied to specific high-density shipping routes and commercial zones throughout the Sacramento region:

  • The Capital City Freeway Grid: Tight lanes and erratic lane changes near the raw split of Highway 50 and Business 80 generate violent, high-speed rear-end collisions that shatter cervical and thoracic vertebrae.
  • Interstate 80 Freight Corridors: Heavy commercial truck traffic passing through North Highlands and commercial hubs increases the likelihood of high-impact collisions capable of severing the spinal cord.
  • Industrial Development Zones: Ongoing warehouse construction projects in South Sacramento pose significant risks of falls from scaffolding and crushing injuries from heavy equipment.

Sacramento Emergency Care

To get the compensation you deserve, you must have thorough medical evaluations immediately. Proving the exact source of spinal trauma requires comprehensive evaluations from specialists, imaging, and physical exams.

Sacramento County Civil Court Proceedings

When insurance corporations refuse to fund lifetime care plans, we take cases to trial in the local civil court system, and our contingency fee structure remains in place.

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

Parking Strategy: Avoid the expensive, gridlocked private parking lots directly across from the main entrance doors. Use the city-owned City Hall Garage at 10th and I Streets for a lower daily parking rate and less congestion.

Courthouse Entry Security Screening: All trial attendees must clear a mandatory weapons screening checkpoint at the G Street entrance. Lines regularly back up before morning calendars, so allow 45 minutes for this process.
