Matthew Eason and Kyle Tambornini
As the founding partners of the firm, Matthew Eason and Kyle Tambornini have practiced law for more than 30 years.

Responsibilities of a Car Accident Attorney
At your free consultation, our Placerville car accident attorneys will explain the process of filing a claim and everything they will handle for you. Some of the more common tasks that car accident attorneys handle include
- Determining fault
- Tracking down police reports
- Investigation and collection of evidence
- Requesting medical reports and doctors’ statements
- Negotiating with insurance companies
- Preparing for and representing clients in court if a case is not settled out of court
Seeing a Doctor Following a Car Accident
Our Placerville personal injury attorneys have seen cases where injuries have surfaced even after several days or more following a car accident. A car accident that seems or even is minor in terms of property damage may cause difficult-to-detect injuries of the neck and spine. At your free consultation, we will ask if the proper medical professionals have thoroughly evaluated you, and if not, we will recommend some to you. Additionally, medical records are essential to determining a full and fair settlement, so if you have already seen a doctor and received treatments for your injuries, we will request all available reports and records.
Car Accident Claim vs. Lawsuit
A claim and a lawsuit can be used to secure maximum compensation following a car accident. Our skilled, aggressive car accident attorneys serving Placerville know how to leverage both to get the best settlement possible for clients.
A car accident claim is a demand for money. Typically, this demand is made by an attorney through the at-fault party’s insurance company. On the other hand, a lawsuit is a formal legal action initiated with the court if a settlement cannot be reached out of court.
Car Accident Claims that Go to Trial
Approximately 95% of the car accident claims our Placerville car accident lawyers represent are settled out of court through negotiations. If a claim cannot be settled, your attorney will discuss the possibility of going to court. If you and your attorney decide to proceed with a court trial, your job will be minimal; our car accident attorneys will prepare the case and prepare you.
No Payment Until a Claim is Settled
Regardless of whether a car accident claim is settled and secured out of court or through a trial, you pay no fees whatsoever until you win. This contingency fee model is standard and ensures everyone can access legal representation. You still pay nothing if we decline to take your case during your free initial consultation. It is important to note, however, that the goal of our Placerville car accident attorneys is to win the maximum and fairest settlement possible, not the easiest one to arrive at.
