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.

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

What is the statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim in Sacramento?

Under California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, the statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim in Sacramento is typically two years from the date of the deceased person’s passing. Make no mistake: This legal deadline is critical. If you fail to file a claim within this period, you may lose the right to pursue compensation through the court system.

How much will it cost to hire a wrongful death lawyer in Sacramento?

A Sacramento wrongful death lawyer at Eason & Tambornini costs nothing upfront because we handle claims on a strict contingency fee contract. This means your fees depend on whether or not you win a settlement. We completely advance all court filing fees, accident reconstruction costs, and medical investigator debts. We only collect a fee as a fixed percentage taken directly from your final successful jury verdict or insurance settlement. If you don’t win, you don’t pay, period.

Where and How Wrongful Death Occurs in Sacramento

Sacramento’s geography, a mix of massive industrial hubs and busy commute pathways, poses specific hazards to residents and visitors to the state’s capital every day. We have handled many cases involving fatal incidents occurring in known hotspots throughout the city:

Freeway Accidents: Traveling along Interstate 80 and the Business 80/Hwy 50 split experience high speeds through heavy merging, which often leads to tragedy.
Workplace Accidents: Accidents at distribution centers or construction sites, such as the Power Inn Road industrial area or the downtown Sacramento rail yards, are common.
Notoriously Dangerous Intersections: Other fatal car accidents are frequently seen at busy intersections like Fair Oaks Boulevard and Howe Avenue, or the busy junctions in Midtown.
Public Recreation Areas: Discovery Park, Ancil Hoffman Park, and walking paths along the Sacramento River have all seen fatal accidents over the years.

Wrongful Death Claim Process: Understanding How They Work

California has strict laws that ensure the parties responsible for negligent and intentional acts pay the price, not innocent families. To win, a legal team will gather necessary documentation, such as a police report, that will help them establish the following:

Duty of Care: The responsible party had a legal duty to provide a safe environment (like a driver who is careful to follow traffic laws on a busy street like Watt Avenue in North Sacramento).
Breach of Duty: The responsible party violated their duty, such as a distracted driver texting while driving.
Causation: The specific breach of duty was the proximate cause of the person’s death.
Damages: The surviving family members suffered tangible and intangible losses

Recoverable Damages in Sacramento Wrongful Death Claims

Two types of damages can be pursued: tangible and intangible. A simplified explanation of tangible vs. intangible losses is to think of what you can prove with a receipt (economic losses) versus what you feel in your daily life (non-economic).

Tangible or Economic Losses: Examples include funeral expenses, medical bills related to the fatal injury, and loss of future income.
Intangible or Non-Economic Losses: Examples include loss of companionship, emotional trauma, and loss of consortium for a spouse.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in California?

Specific people (survivors of the deceased) are allowed to file a wrongful death claim. This includes immediate family, dependents, and others (such as siblings or parents) if no other legal heirs exist.
