Daisy, Alex & Jazmine were very attentive and made sure I was informed at all times during my case, I will definitely work with them again if I had to. They are a very professional establishment.
I had a wonderful experience at Eason & Tambornini's Law. Kyle Tambornini was my attorney. He was down to earth, friendly, and thorough. My case settled for much more than the original offer. This wouldn't have been possible without this office. If I ever need an attorney in the future, I'm calling him!
Thank you Seth and Francesca!
I can't say enough great things about this law firm. They were able to accomplish more for us than even the police could, and we are so grateful for their dedication. From the very beginning, they treated both me and my husband with respect and genuine care. They kept us informed every step of the way, always making sure we felt supported and understood. Their professionalism and compassion truly set them apart, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal help.
Eric, Shelley, and Francesca were so amazing with guiding me through my case. My case took a while but Shelley or Francesca were consistently prompt in responding to me and reassuring me that I was not forgotten. Eric always made sure that I understood the process and was very prepared. I would highly recommend Eason & Tamborini for anyone looking for legal help.
I had a great experience with them. The whole team was very helpful. Erin gave me really good advise and very knowledgeable. Thank you
After being rear-ended on the freeway, I initially began navigating medical care, assessments, and referrals through my health providers. As the process became more complex, I realized I needed an attorney who could advocate for the care, resources, and support I deserved.

I spoke with several other law offices before ultimately choosing Eason & Tambornini—and I am incredibly grateful that I did.

When I first called the office, attorney Kyle Tambornini personally answered the phone. What stood out immediately was that the conversation didn’t feel like a typical intake call. Kyle took the time to truly listen. He demonstrated genuine empathy, care, and concern for what I had experienced. It felt less like a business transaction and more like speaking with someone who sincerely wanted to help and advocate on my behalf.

From that moment forward, the entire team reflected the same level of professionalism, compassion, and expertise.

Kristen Vaught, my paralegal, was absolutely exceptional. She became a trusted guide and steady source of support throughout the entire process. Kristen was always accessible, whether it was answering questions, meeting impromptu when concerns arose, or simply providing reassurance during what can be a very stressful experience. Her responsiveness, kindness, and attention to detail made a tremendous difference.

I also had the privilege of working with attorney Kistofor Helm, who handled my case with remarkable skill and professionalism. He guided me through every stage, including preparing me for my deposition, with confidence and clarity. His strategic insight and astute counsel were invaluable. At one point, when I was ready to settle early, he took the time to explain the importance of patience and leverage in the process. Because I trusted his expertise and guidance, the case ultimately resulted in a far more favorable outcome than I initially expected.

The combination of legal expertise, strategic advocacy, and genuine human care is what truly sets Eason & Tambornini apart.

If you are looking for a law firm that is highly skilled, trustworthy, compassionate, and deeply committed to their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Eason & Tambornini. Their team not only delivers exceptional legal representation—they walk alongside you with integrity and care every step of the way.
Daisy was very helpful and professional throughout my adventure. E&T. she is an asset to your firm. You are fortunate to have her!
Kyle and his team did a great job
This law firm advocates on behalf of their clients and community. After my consultation with Omar, I felt more confident moving forward with my worker's compensation case. I am grateful for the help that was provided.
I’m genuinely happy with the result and the way the process was handled.
A big shoutout to Attorney Eric Wills — your steady guidance, clear communication, and strong leadership made a huge difference. You kept things moving, explained every step, and made the whole experience feel manageable.
And an equally big thank you to Francesca Casique, whose patience, consistency, and dedication stood out every single day. Her communication, follow‑through, and support made a complicated process feel smooth and organized.
Thank you for being such a reliable, professional team. I’m grateful for the work you put in and the outcome we achieved together.

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.
