SHERMAN OAKS TEXTING WHILE DRIVING ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS
Texting While Driving Accidents
In Sherman Oaks
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 research, texting while driving ups 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. When driving 55 miles per hour, that equates to driving the length of a football field with no vision.
In the state of California, it's against the law for someone driving a car 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 most 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, vaping or smoking, 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 ATTORNEYS
Sherman Oaks Rideshare Accident Lawyers
If you or a member of your family has been hurt in a car accident involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can seek financial compensation for your medical expenses, ongoing physical therapy, and lost income. The rideshare era has certainly made getting from place to place in Sherman Oaks much less of a hassle. Drinking and driving has decreased thanks in part to ridesharing's surge in popularity. It's additionally provided many people with a new source of income in the gig economy of today.
But as the rideshare industry grows, so do 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 still murky.
This is why you need the Sherman Oaks Lyft and Uber accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC by your side. Uber and Lyft are major publicly-traded companies valued at 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 when the collision took place.
Considering how much insurance Uber and Lyft drivers carry, anyone injured in a car wreck caused by a ridesharing driver might be entitled to more compensation for medical expenses, 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.
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.
