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

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

By definition, a personal injury claim arises when someone gets hurt due to someone else’s negligence. It’s best to let a highly experienced personal injury attorney decide. One of our personal injury attorneys in South Lake Tahoe can listen to the facts and offer a professional opinion.

What to Do After an Accident if You’ve Been Hurt

South Lake Tahoe Personal Injury AttorneysFirst, be sure to seek medical treatment, even if you think you are not seriously hurt. This is important because pain may be delayed until after the initial shock of an accident wears off. Also, document the incident by gathering the other party’s contact information and the names and contact info of witnesses and property or store managers if you are hurt in a public place. Most importantly, do not speak to insurance companies until you have consulted an attorney.

What is my personal injury claim worth?

A personal injury case’s settlement amount or value depends on many factors, including accrued medical bills, future medical costs, and pain and suffering. Loss of wages and loss of future income are also factored into this. Our South Lake Tahoe personal injury attorney can provide a more accurate estimate at your free consultation.

Personal Injury Claims and Going to Trial

Most personal injury claims are settled out of court. However, trial preparation may be necessary if a settlement cannot be negotiated successfully or if responsibility is disputed.

South Lake Tahoe personal injury attorney legal fees and personal injury claims

Our personal injury attorneys in South Lake Tahoe charge no fees until a settlement is won, even if your case goes to trial. This contingency fee structure is standard practice, so people without an attorney can get the help they need. That is why we are careful about whether we accept a case. If we accept a case, we intend to win, and our successful track record reflects that.

Personal Injury Claims Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim varies by state; in California, the statute of limitations for personal injury is typically two years from the date of the accident or injury. However, there are exceptions to this rule. For this reason, it is essential to consult a personal injury attorney right away to talk about your situation.

Insurance Companies and Personal Injury Settlements

Our South Lake Tahoe personal injury attorneys understand that offering a low settlement is in the insurance company’s best interest. After all, their legal team must look out for the insurance company’s bottom line, not yours. This is why it is essential to have a legal team of your own in place. No matter the number, consulting with a personal injury attorney before accepting an offer is necessary.

If an insurance company tries to rush you into a decision, it’s a red flag. This is especially true if you are not healed or do not know the long-term extent of your injuries or your employment status.

How should I prepare for a free consultation with a South Lake Tahoe personal injury attorney?

When you make your appointment with one of our South Lake Tahoe personal injury attorneys, you will be given a list of what to bring. This list will include any relevant documents, such as medical records, accident reports, insurance information, and any correspondence related to the incident. If you don’t have the police report, don’t worry; we can request and secure that for you.

Common Personal Injury Claim Damages

  • Damages in personal injury claims often involve one or more of the following, depending on the details of a claim:
  • Medical expenses: past, current and future costs of treatment, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, etc.
  • Lost wages: income lost due to being out of work and/or inability to hold the same or any job in the future
  • Property damages
  • Pain and suffering: compensation for emotional and physical distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life: inability to enjoy or participate in normal daily activities
  • Others depending on the situation

Average Duration of Personal Injury Claims

The time it takes to complete a personal injury claim can vary widely depending on the case’s complexity, the injuries’ severity, and whether the case goes to trial. Some insurance companies’ legal teams are eager to close claims, while others may stall or otherwise prolong a settlement. Our experienced South Lake Tahoe personal injury attorneys have encountered countless examples of both scenarios and know how to handle them.
