Jennifer A. Eason, Senior Workers’ Compensation Trial Attorney
Over the past two decades, Jennifer’s practice has primarily focused on helping thousands of individuals who have been injured on the job. Since 1994, she has practiced almost exclusively within the workers’ compensation claims process. Jennifer has built a reputation as a compassionate and powerful advocate and is known by courtroom staff and defense counsel for her strategic thinking and effective representation. This has resulted in frequent referrals. She was recently named a 2017 Top Lawyer in Workers’ Compensation by Sacramento Magazine.
Jennifer’s litigation experience is extensive. She has aggressively represented clients at trial and argued on appeal. But, above all, she is devoted to helping individuals. Despite repeated offers, Jennifer has consistently declined to represent insurance companies or employers, opting only to represent injured workers. Jennifer is an active participant and supporter of the California Association of Applicants Attorneys, whose primary purpose is furthering the rights of Workers’ Compensation Applicants and other injured employees.
Although Jennifer possesses all the attributes of a demanding lawyer, she also cares deeply for her clients. She is empathetic to those injured and eager to help clients through the workers’ compensation claim process. Jennifer also understands the difficulties injured workers face and comprehensively deals with every aspect of a person’s claim, providing informed answers and obtaining maximum financial benefits. Jennifer’s extensive experience with the law qualifies her to be a fierce advocate for her client’s rights.
Personal Life
Jennifer moved to Sacramento in 1989 and served as a Junior League of Sacramento member from 1993 to 2001. She developed her love for volunteering and helping the community during this time. Before her children’s graduation, Jennifer was actively involved in their schools, serving as a room mom and spearheading successful fundraising events. These fundraisers included raising money to remodel a non-profit school facility to chairing Jesuit High School’s Christmas Tree Lane Gala event. Jennifer enjoys taking on a challenge and leading projects in her professional and personal life.
In college, Jennifer discovered her passion for the law and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Law and Society.
