Since 2010, M.R. Parker Law, PC have helped many Santa Clarita accident victims get the money they deserve. We’d love to speak with you about your case. Sooner rather than later. The longer you wait, the more detrimental it is to your case.
Talk to us BEFORE giving any statement to an insurance company. Our attorneys are well aware of how insurance companies work to get around paying out on claims. A few of us have previously worked for major insurance companies. We know the ins and outs used to pay out as little as they possibly can in claims.
One trick is they’ll ask a series of loaded questions to trick you into admitting you actually caused or contributed to the accident. Questions like:
“I understand the other car ran the red light and collided into you, but is there more you could’ve done to avoid the accident?”
“I understand that it rained on the day of the accident. Do you think slick roads played a role in the accident?”
They’re looking to trip you up into saying anything they could use to justifiably reduce the the compensation you can recover for your losses and injuries.
Let’s talk and you can start to refer them to us when they call. We offer a no-obligation FREE consultation. Ultimately, you may not even need a Santa Clarita car accident lawyer. However, not looking into it could cost you thousands of dollars. Let’s discuss your case and assess its worth.
INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND
Marketing campaigns might say, “Like a good neighbor” or “You’re in Good Hands” but insurance companies are mostly concerned about their bottom line. Their interests are prioritized, not yours.
An adjuster might initially seem empathetic and attentive. You’ll feel as if they’re truly working on your behalf to get you a fair and fast settlement.. But much of their motivation, in offering you a quick settlement, is to keep you from talking to a personal injury attorney. Because they know that the lawyer is going to seek a larger settlement amount.
As a company, they want to collect as much as they can in premiums and pay as little as possible in claims. They want to write you out a quick check and send you on your way. A check for an amount that they persuade you into thinking is fair but is significantly less than what you really deserve.
As your attorneys, we’re working for you. You’re our client. And we don’t get paid until we get money for you!
Don’t let an insurance company make you a victim a second time around by convincing you that their settlement offer is the best you’re going to get.

SANTA CLARITA LYFT & UBER ACCIDENT LAWYERS
Santa Clarita Rideshare Car Accident Attorneys
If you or someone you love has been hurt in a collision involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can pursue financial compensation for your medical expenses, ongoing physical therapy, and lost wages. The ridesharing phenomenon has certainly made getting from place to place in Santa Clarita much less of a hassle. Drinking and driving has decreased thanks in part to ridesharing's surge in popularity. It has also provided many people with an extra source of income in the gig economy of today.
However, as the ridesharing industry grows, so have the number of collisions involving Uber and Lyft drivers. Worse yet, insurance companies often don't 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 when it comes to Lyft and Uber car crashes are murky at best.
This is why you need the Santa Clarita Lyft and Uber accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC by your side. Uber and Lyft are huge publicly-traded companies that have pulled in billions of dollars. Unlike many drivers carrying only state minimum 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 things like if their driver was or wasn't signed into the app and accepting rides when the collision took place.
Considering how much insurance Uber and Lyft drivers carry, anyone injured in an accident involving 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 includes 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 lawyers in Santa Clarita.

Texting While Driving Accidents
Distracted driving is a major cause of auto accidents. Crashes caused 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, texting while driving raises the risk of crashing 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 with your eyes covered.
In 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 and driving is what most immediately think of when distracted driving is mentioned, there are other common forms of distracted driving still prevalent. They include: following the directions on an electronic navigation system like GPS or Google Maps, talking on a handheld cellphone, fiddling around with a radio or CD player, doing makeup, vaping or smoking, taking selfies or recording a video. and eating while driving.
If you've been involved in an accident caused by distracted driving, connect with M.R. Parker Law, PC today to discuss compensation for your injuries.
