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.

The communication and hard work this firm puts in for us is entirely worth working with them.
I had such a great experience with Eason & Tambornini. The process took some time, but I can honestly say it was absolutely worth the wait. They never rushed the process just to get the case settled and continued negotiating to get the best outcome possible for both me and my daughter. I especially want to thank Francesca Casique and Seth Bradley. Francesca was amazing throughout the entire process. She kept me updated, answered all of my questions (and I had plenty!), explained things in a way I could understand, and always made me feel comfortable reaching out. Seth continued to advocate for us and pushed for more even when the insurance company was ready to be done. In the end, I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. The patience paid off, and I truly appreciate the time, effort, and care they put into both of our cases. I would absolutely recommend Eason & Tambornini to anyone looking for a personal injury attorney. Thank you Francesca, Seth, and the entire team!
I had the pleasure of discussing my case with their attorney, Mark Steinberg. He helped me understand the process and what to expect moving forward. He, patiently, took the time necessary to answer all of my questions. His expertise was evident....all the way, a pleasant and knowledgeable individual !!
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.

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.
