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 care first and foremost about their bottom line. They look to offer a quick payout for an amount that sounds fair but is well-below the amount you truly deserve.
They’re not interested in getting you a settlement that’s sufficient enough to cover your recovery and losses. They’re looking to instead pad the company’s profit margin. They’re looking to settle your claim as soon as they can, for as little as possible, before you work with a car accident lawyer who will secure you a bigger settlement.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t nice insurance adjusters. There are many legitimately nice people in the insurance industry. Just remember they’re NOT on your side, no matter how nice they may seem. They’re not working for you. WE ARE!

DISTRACTED DRIVING ATTORNEYS IN TARZANA
Accidents Caused By A Distracted Driver
Distracted driving is a major cause of different types of auto accidents. Accidents caused 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, texting while driving ups the risk of a car accident 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. If driving 55 mph, that equates to driving the distance of a football field with your eyes covered.
In the state of California, it's against the law for someone operating a motor vehicle to use their cell phones to make a phone 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. These include: looking at directions on an electronic navigation system like Google Maps or GPS, talking on a handheld cell phone, fumbling around with a radio or CD player, putting on makeup, vaping or smoking, taking selfies or recording a video. and eating as they are 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.

Tarzana Rideshare Car Accident Laywers
If you or a loved one has been hurt in an accident involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can pursue financial compensation for your medical bills, ongoing rehabilitation, and lost wages. The ridesharing era has certainly made getting around in Tarzana much easier. Drinking and driving has decreased thanks in part to ridesharing's surge in popularity. It has also provided many people with an extra income source 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 has been using their car for ridesharing. This means they might be unwilling to fully compensate victims.
Since ridesharing is a relatively new phenomenon, the legal waters around Lyft and Uber auto accidents are murky at best.
This is why you need the Tarzana Lyft and Uber accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC in your corner. Uber and Lyft are huge publicly-traded companies that have pulled in billions of dollars. Unlike a lot of motorists carrying just 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 when the accident/incident 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 costs, lost income, and pain, suffering and emotional trauma tied to the wreck. 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 Tarzana.
