I would like to thank Eason and Tamborini, especially Rando Rodriguez (my attorney), but most importantly Omar Cardenas (Legal Assistant). They helped me through my workers compensation case. Throughout this journey, Omar was really helpful, always there to answer any question and explained things thoroughly, not only did he explain them in English but most important in Spanish which he is well knowledgeable. They always had an answer for every question. Rando and Omar were there with me since the beginning to the end, they always treated me with respect. I hope no one has to go through a case like this but if they do, I recommend this law firm because they take their cases really seriously. They make their clients feel like they are not alone and treat them as if they are part of their family.Rando y Omar gracias por todo, dios los bendiga.

Amazing place. Eric Wills was amazing. He helped me with my personal injury case. I went to several lawyers and something about Eric drew me to pick him out of the bunch. He was very insightful, thorough, and professional. Eric talked to me and work with me to help me with my needs and was able to get the full amount of my request for the case.

I had a workers compensation attorney representing me for 15 years that was completely dragging his feet all the way on my three case's so horribly I finally had to dismiss him from my case's because he couldn't seem to settle them after all those year's gone by. I was then fortunate enough to obtain Eason & Tambornini to represent me on my case's and they were able to settle my case's without any problems what so ever. I would and actually already have recommended Eason & Tambornini to family and friends who need good representation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Eason & Tambornini and the entire law firms team.Sincerely,Daniel F.

Kristofor's professionalism and expertise made everything run smoothly and efficiently. I would confidently choose him again as my lawyer.

I had the pleasure of working with Eason and Tamborini Law for my father’s car accident case, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Attorney Seth Bradly is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also truly dedicated to his clients. He took the time to explain every step of the legal process to me, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed throughout. His expertise and attention to detail made a challenging situation much easier to navigate. Prior to hiring Seth we had contacted other law firms in the area and felt as if all they truly cared about was their payout. Seth came highly recommended by a friend who was very pleased with her representation and outcome of her case.A special mention goes to Francesca, Seth's assistant, who was always prompt, professional, and genuinely caring. She kept everything organized and was quick to respond to any questions I had, making the whole experience seamless. Francesca was very helpful throughout the entire process and my family and l can’t thank her enough for always being so kind and understanding.If you’re looking for a law firm that combines expertise with exceptional client service, Eason and Tamborini is the way to go.

Great professionals and I am very grateful for the way they treated me and handled my case.

I have so many good things to say about Eason and Tamborini! I would highly recommend anyone who would want the best representation to contact them! My experience has been amazing from start to finish. I would like to thank Matt, Kristopher, and especially Kristen. Kristen is an amazing person and truly cares about making sure you feel represented and cared for. There was never a time where I felt my questions weren’t being answered in a timely manner and I really cannot thank the legal team enough. It was a long year and some months, but I am more than satisfied with the outcome and truly feel there would not have been better representation for my case. Do yourself a favor and get represented by people who genuinely care about your well being and the outcome of your case! If I could rate them 10 stars I would!!

Dangers in Sacramento, California

In 2022, more than 5.3 million people in Sacramento utilized bicycles or scooters as transportation. With Sacramento’s mild weather most of the year, in addition to the rising cost of fuel, our legal staff speak to people daily who have started using bicycles as their usual mode of travel to and from work. With all of the benefits, there are still some drawbacks. Bicyclists are not protected from injury as they would be in a car, which makes it a more dangerous way to get around.

Our lawyers know from experience how dangerous the roads can be for cyclists. According to data compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2022, Sacramento County ranked eighth deadliest among the nation’s counties, with 3.2 deaths per 100,000 people.

FAQ: What are the most common crashes in Sacramento?

Our lawyers encounter many types of biking accidents. Unfortunately, injuries and fatalities are not uncommon without safety elements like airbags and seat belts. The most common accidents our legal team sees include:

A bicyclist is struck by a car while on the side of the road, including in a bike lane
A bicyclist is struck by a vehicle while crossing an intersection
A bicyclist gets rear-ended by a car while stopped at a light or other crossing

Accidents Caused by Equipment Defects

Collisions don’t always involve a vehicle or even another bicycle. Our lawyers have represented many clients whose accidents were due to bike manufacturing defects. Hundreds of parts are recalled every year due to defective:

Brakes
Tires
Frames
Suspensions
Gear

What types of maintenance can help prevent an accident?

Our personal injury lawyers in Sacramento see many situations where basic upkeep could have prevented an incident. Regardless of the condition of your bike, if you have been hurt in an accident and a car is involved, you have a right to be compensated if someone else is at fault.

Here is a short list of essential maintenance that our legal team recommends every bike owner should perform regularly:

Store your bike in a dry place that is free from moisture or rain
Check your brakes and brake pads regularly for wear
Keep gear shifters and chain well lubricated
Before you ride, check for loose handlebars, pedals, and brakes
Check your tires every time you get off your bike to ensure you do not run over something that could cause a slow leak.
Never ride on tires that are not inflated; keep a tire repair kit when you ride.

Safety In and Around Sacramento

Many cyclists don’t realize that bikes have as much right to be on the road as cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles. Our law firm often represents clients who think they may have done something to cause an incident when they haven’t. However, with their right to share the road also come responsibilities; in other words, bicycles must obey all traffic laws about them. Conversely, drivers of vehicles must know what they must do to protect cyclists. The legal experts at Eason & Tambornini understand bicycle safety and encourage clients to adhere to all laws.

FAQ: What are some ways to avoid a crash?

Whether you ride your bike regularly as a mode of transportation to and from work or just occasionally for recreation, on the streets or local bike trails, it is essential always to follow the rules of the road and adhere to all safety laws and recommendations about bikes. Some of the most common pieces of advice that our lawyers recommend to clients include:

Ride your bicycle in the same direction as the flow of traffic
Stay in designated bike lanes whenever possible
Obey all traffic laws and rules, including making a complete stop at stop signs, stoplights, and detour warnings.
Stay alert and scan the road to see potentially hazardous situations
Use all your senses when riding; don’t use your cell phone or wear headphones
Always use hand signals to let drivers know when you are changing lanes or turning

Sacramento Bicycle Accident Attorneys Explain Injurie Types

When a bicycle and a 2,000-lb. In a car collision, the driver may not have any injuries, but for the cyclist, the potential for injuries is massive. Additionally, not all wounds heal at the same rate, and some don’t heal at all; fatalities for bicyclists are much higher than for cars when it comes to car vs. vehicle wrecks. Some of the more common injuries that bicyclists suffer include:

Broken bones
Concussions
Head and neck trauma
Facial and dental
Internal bleeding
Organ damage
Road rash

FAQ: How are damages calculated for injuries?

Calculating damages resulting from bicycle accidents varies greatly. Here are some of the most common factors our lawyers consider when determining damages:

Medical expenses associated with the accident
Lost wages due to being unable to work
Property damage, including helmet or clothing
Non-economic damages (pain and suffering) awarded as a result of physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life
Permanent disability or disfigurement damages
Insurance coverage of both the cyclist (if applicable) and the other party’s insurance
Legal fees incurred while pursuing a claim or lawsuit can also be factored into damages

What is the first step to take following a bicycle accident?

If you have been in a severe accident, you should be seen by a doctor. Often, internal injuries and even sprains or fractures can go unnoticed at first. Once you have been cared for by a medical professional, it’s a good idea to call an attorney immediately. You don’t want to start talking to lawyers or representatives from the other party’s insurance company before consulting an attorney. Remember, insurance companies will try to limit the amount they pay; therefore, they are not working for your best interests. Our lawyers will fight aggressively for you and handle negotiations with the other party’s law firm and insurance company.
