DISTRACTED DRIVING LAWYERS IN SHERMAN OAKS
Texting While Driving Accidents
In Sherman Oaks
Distracted driving is a major cause of auto accidents. Crashes brought on by distracted driving range from very serious - there are many highway fatalities and wrongful death lawsuits linked to distracted driving - to minor rear-end accidents or fender-benders.
According to statistics, sending or receiving a tex message raises the risk of a car crash by as much as 25 times.
Studies have also concluded that 4.6 seconds is the average time a driver takes their eyes off the road to send or read a text message. When driving 55 miles per hour, that equates to driving the distance of a football field blind.
In California, it's illegal for someone driving an automobile to use their cell phones to make a call, talk without a hands-free setup, and read or type out a text message while driving.
Although texting while driving is what many of us immediately think of when distracted driving is mentioned, there are other instances of distracted driving still prevalent. They include: following the directions on an electronic navigation system like Google Maps or GPS, talking on a handheld cellphone, messing with a radio or CD player, putting on makeup, smoking or vaping, taking selfies or recording a video. and eating as they are driving.
If you've been hurt in an accident with a distracted driver, M.R. Parker Law, PC can help get you compensated for any expenses and pain or suffering incurred.

SHERMAN OAKS LYFT & UBER ACCIDENT LAWYERS
Sherman Oaks Rideshare Accident Attorneys
If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can pursue financial compensation for your medical bills, ongoing physical therapy, and lost wages. The ridesharing era has certainly made getting around in Sherman Oaks much less of a hassle. Drinking and driving has decreased thanks in part to ridesharing's surge in popularity. It has additionally provided many people with a new source of income in the gig economy of today.
However, as the rideshare industry grows, so have the number of wrecks involving Uber and Lyft drivers. Worse yet, insurance companies often do not know the insured party is using their vehicle for ridesharing. This means they're not always willing to fully compensate victims.
Since ridesharing is so new, the legal waters surrounding Uber and Lyft car accidents are murky at best.
This is why you need the Sherman Oaks Lyft and Uber accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC in your corner. Uber and Lyft are huge publicly-traded companies worth billions of dollars. Unlike a lot of drivers carrying only the minimum-required liability coverage of $15,000 for injury or death on their auto policy, Uber and Lyft drivers carry $1 million in liability insurance + uninsured/underinsured coverage. But rideshare companies will look at varying details like if their driver was signed onto the app and accepting rides when the collision took place.
Considering how much liability coverage Lyft and Uber drivers carry, anyone injured in a collision with a ridesharing driver could be entitled to more compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain, suffering and emotional trauma tied to the accident. This applies to injured passengers in a ridesharing vehicle, regardless of whether or not their driver was at-fault.
The car accident lawyers at M.R.Parker Law, PC specialize in Lyft and Uber accidents. Contact us today for a free consultation with one of our Lyft/Uber accident attorneys in Sherman Oaks.

Have you or a loved one been involved in a collision with a drunk driver in Sherman Oaks? The aftermath of this this terrible act of negligence and reckless behavior can be devastating.

High Speed Collision Lawyers in Sherman Oaks
Exceeding the speed limit – or driving too fast for road conditions – is second to only distracted driving as the leading contributing factor to most auto crashes.

When you’re behind the wheel, you're taking a leap of faith. You're trusting those you're sharing the road with. You're trusting that they drive responsibly and demonstrate enough reasonable care to avoid an automobile accident. A driver that speeds neglects this responsibility and is putting everyone at risk - especially motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Let the high-speed collision lawyers at M.R. Parker Law, PC fight to get you maximum compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income, pain, suffering, and emotional trauma.
