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.
Quick Question
Top-Rated Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys in Sacramento.
How much does a Sacramento spinal cord injury lawyer cost?
You 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.
