OUR SAN FERNANDO AREA COLLISION ATTORNEYS KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH – WE WANT TO HELP
Few things are as jarring as the sound of a car collision. Automobile collisions don’t just wreck vehicles, they wreck lives, too. In mere seconds, with no warning whatsoever, life can end or be forever altered in a serious automobile accident. And there’s a long road ahead for survivors.
When you’re injured in an auto wreck, the last thing you need is extra stress following what you’ve already gone through. You are already hurt, traumatized, and dealing with auto repairs or having to find a new car. Then you’ve got the medical expenses piling up and lost income, missed time at work compounding things even more.
The emotional distress can be concerning. Panic disorder, depression, trouble sleeping, nightmares, and memory or concentration problems wear at you. If you can’t return to work and provide for yourself or your family, that can leave you feeling like you lack purpose.
If you can’t get around easily due to injuries sustained in the accident, that lost independence and self-reliance can leave you feeling as if you’ve become a burden to friends and family assisting you through this period.
Needless to say, this is a very trying time in someone’s life. One you shouldn’t leave in the hands of a claims adjuster at an insurance company. Not without someone on your side. Someone like us.
OUR SAN FERNANDO CAR ACCIDENT LAWYERS WILL GET YOU EVERY PENNY YOU’RE OWED

Getting good deserving people – those suffering from someone else’s negligence – the compensation they deserve. Don’t let insurance companies take advantage of you by convincing you that your claim is worth anything less than it is.
THE INSURANCE COMPANIES AREN’T YOUR FRIENDS
Insurance companies aren’t your friend. The marketing slogans may say, “Like a good neighbor” or “You’re in Good Hands” but insurance companies are mostly concerned about their bottom line. They look to write out a fast check to your name for an amount that sounds reasonable but is significantly less than what you really deserve.
They’re not looking to get you a settlement that’s sufficient enough to pay for your recovery and losses. They’re more concerned with padding their own profit margin. They’re looking to settle your claim as quickly as possible, paying out as little as possible, before you bring in a car accident lawyer who will land you a bigger settlement.
That’s not to say you won’t talk to a nice insurance adjuster. There are plenty of legitimately nice people in the insurance industry. Just keep in mind they’re NOT on your side, no matter how nice they come off. They’re not working for you. WE ARE!
TALK TO A SAN FERNANDO CAR ACCIDENT INJURY ATTORNEY BEFORE YOU SPEAK TO AN INSURANCE COMPANY
If you’ve been injured in a car collision, you need to schedule an appointment with a dedicated auto accident lawyer immediately. The longer you hold off, the more it hurts your case.
When an insurance company asks for your statement of events, they’re picking apart your responses for words they can use against you. They’ll attempt to make it seem as if you’ve admitted a degree of fault for the collision. Something to justify any low ball settlement they offer. This is why you need our legal advice BEFORE you provide them with any statement.
We provide a FREE case review and anyone that walks through our doors is treated like family. The experienced and knowledgeable San Fernando car accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC will shoulder the burden for you while making sure you get the full compensation you deserve.

SAN FERNANDO LYFT & UBER ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS
San Fernando Rideshare Accident Attorneys
If you or someone you love has been hurt in an accident involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can seek financial compensation for your medical bills, ongoing rehabilitation, and lost income. The ridesharing era has certainly made going from place to place in San Fernando much easier. Drinking and driving has decreased thanks in part to ridesharing's surge in popularity. It's additionally provided many people with an extra source of income in today's gig economy.
However, as the ridesharing industry grows, so have the number of wrecks involving Uber and Lyft drivers. Even worse, 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 a relatively new phenomenon, the legal waters around Lyft and Uber auto accidents are still murky.
This is why you’ll need the San Fernando Lyft and Uber accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC in your corner. Uber and Lyft are huge publicly-traded companies valued at 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 insurance, 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 into the app and accepting rides at the time of the accident/incident took place.
Considering how much liability coverage Lyft and Uber drivers carry, anyone injured in a car wreck caused by a ridesharing driver could be entitled to more compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain, suffering and emotional trauma tied to the accident. This includes passengers injured in a rideshare car, 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 San Fernando.

San Fernando High Speed Crash Attorneys
Exceeding the speed limit – or driving too fast for road conditions – is second behind distracted driving as the leading cause of most car collisions.
Speeding increases the force of impact. The higher the speed at the time of the crash, the greater the force of impact. This generally means more serious injuries and more deaths. Speed also contributes to higher dollar property damage.
When you drive 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 a wreck.

San Fernando Rollover Car Accident Attorneys
Rollover accidents typically happen when a driver has lost control of their vehicle and it trips over something - generally uneven pavement, a curb, tree stump, or an object.
Most vehicle rollovers involve SUVs or pickup trucks. SUVs are most commonly involved in rollover accidents. The reason for this is their mass being distributed higher off the road in relation to the the width of the video. The center of gravity is further increased when there's additional passengers and cargo.
Most rollover accidents are single-vehicle accidents - however, rollovers can also occur in multi-vehicle collisions, especially if the vehicle is hit from the side.
Although rollovers account for less than 3% of all car accidents, one-third of car accident deaths come in rollovers. This is often attributed to there being partial or full ejection from the vehicle.
If you've been injured in a rollover, contact auto accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC to determine the worth of your case.
SAN FERNANDO TEXTING WHILE DRIVING LAWYER
Accidents Caused By Texting While Driving
A major cause of car accidents is distracted driving. Crashes caused by distracted driving range from very serious - it is the number one cause of highway fatalities and wrongful death lawsuits - to minor rear-end accidents or fender-benders.
According to studies, sending or receiving a tex message increases the risk of crashing 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. If driving 55 mph, that equates to driving the distance of a football field with a blindfold on.
In the state of California, it's against the law 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 a distracted driver is mentioned, there are other common types of distracted driving still prevalent. They include: looking at directions on an electronic navigation system like GPS or Google Maps, using a handheld cell phone, messing with a radio or CD player, putting on makeup, smoking or vaping, taking selfies or recording a video. and eating while driving.
If you've been injured in an accident with a distracted driver, contact M.R. Parker Law, PC to discuss legal help for your injuries.
