Reseda High Speed Collision Attorney

Driving beyond the speed limit – or driving too fast for road conditions – is second behind distracted driving as the leading cause of most car crashes.

Speed increases the force of impact. The faster you're driving at the time of the collision, the greater the force of the crash. This usually means more serious injuries and more fatalities. Speeding also contributes to much more property damage.

When you’re behind the wheel, you're taking a leap of faith. You're trusting those you share the road with. You're trusting that they are responsible drivers and put forth enough reasonable care to avoid a wreck. A driver that speeds neglects this responsibility and puts everyone at risk - especially motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians.

If you’ve been hurt in a high-speed crash in Reseda, and it can be proven the other party was speeding, you might be entitled to compensation.

Let the high-speed collision attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC fight to maximize your compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income, pain, suffering, and emotional distress.

Reseda Rear-End Car Accident Attorneys

It's one of the most common accidents. You come to a complete stop and the driver behind you doesn't stop. Your car is hit from behind.

Although rear-end accidents are less serious than a major collision, injuries are prevalent and could be a nagging problem if not immediately tended to. Injuries after your car is rear-ended include whiplash - which happens when a person's head moves backward and then forward again with great force, mild or severe concussions, spinal injuries like herniated discs or hyperextension, and lockjaw or TMJ symptoms.

Since rear-end collisions typically don't result in EMTs or ambulances, many people just go home following a rear-end accident and don't follow-up with a physician. Symptoms sometimes don't become noticeable until hours or days later. If you develop any symptoms, get a checkup as soon as possible.

If you've been rear-ended and injured, contact the rear-end collision lawyers at M.R. Parker Law, PC today for a free evaluation of your case. Often, rear-end accidents can be attributed to other factors like driving too fast for conditions or distracted driving.

Reseda Rideshare Accident Attorneys

If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can pursue financial compensation for your medical expenses, ongoing physical therapy, and lost wages. The rideshare era has certainly made going from place to place in Reseda much easier. Drinking and driving has decreased thanks in part to ridesharing's surge in popularity. It has also provided many people with a new income stream in the gig economy of today.

But as the ridesharing industry grows, so have the number of collisions involving Uber and Lyft drivers. Worse yet, insurance companies often do not know the insured party is using their car for ridesharing. This means they're not always willing to fully compensate victims.

Since ridesharing is a relatively new phenomenon, the legal waters when it comes to Lyft and Uber car crashes are murky at best.

This is why you’ll need the Reseda Lyft and Uber accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC by your side. Uber and Lyft are major publicly-traded companies that have pulled in billions of dollars. Unlike a lot of motorists carrying only state minimum liability coverage of $15,000 for injury or death on their car insurance, Uber and Lyft drivers have a $1 million insurance policy. But rideshare companies will look at things like whether or not their driver was signed onto the app and accepting rides at the time of the accident/incident occurred.

Considering how much insurance Uber and Lyft drivers carry, anyone injured in a collision with a ridesharing driver could be entitled to more compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and pain, suffering and emotional trauma tied to the wreck. This applies to passengers injured in a ridesharing vehicle, regardless of whether or not their driver was at-fault.

Accidents Caused By Texting & Driving

A major cause of car accidents is distracted driving. Accidents brought on by distracted driving range from very serious - a high number of roadway/highway fatalities, as well as wrongful death lawsuits, are due to distracted drivers - to minor rear-end accidents or fender-benders.

According to studies, sending or receiving a tex message raises the risk of a car accident by as much as 25 times.

Studies have also concluded that the average driver takes their eyes off the road for 4.6 seconds 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 against the law for someone driving a car 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 and driving is what many of us immediately think of when a distracted driver is mentioned, there are other instances of distracted driving still prevalent. They include: looking at directions on an electronic navigation system like GPS or Google Maps, talking on a handheld cellphone, messing with a radio or CD player, doing makeup, smoking or vaping, taking selfies or recording a video. and eating as they are driving.
