The sound of an automobile accident is perhaps one of the most jarring experiences of one’s life. Car crashes wreck not only cars but lives as well. In an instant, from out of nowhere, human life can end or be forever changed in a serious motor vehicle crash (MVC). For survivors, the road ahead is long and full of challenges.
The days and months following a car collision are a difficult time. You’re dealing with injuries from the accident. Medication. Rehabilitation. You’re unable to carry out daily tasks and activities. You’re without a car. Most likely you’re unable to work and provide for you and your family. You’re relying more on others to take care of you. Often battling depression. Perhaps even PTSD if you keep replaying the accident over and over in your head. Medical bills pile up. As does the financial strain the longer you’re out of work.
Understandably, this is a very trying time in someone’s life. One that shouldn’t be left in the hands of a insurance company’s claims adjuster.

Woodland Hills Drunk Driving Attorneys
Were you or someone you love hit by a drunk driver in Woodland Hills? What follows this negligent act and reckless behavior can be devastating.
About one-third of fatalities on U.S. highways and roads are the result of drunk driving. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol isn’t just against the law, it’s a breach of moral conduct that jeopardizes the lives of others. Someone driving under the influence has difficulty focusing, muscle impairment, problems with coordination, mental confusion, a lack of alertness, and a delayed response time.
Someone who survives a car crash with an intoxicated driver often has severe injuries they must live with. This includes both physical pain and mental distress or emotional trauma.
A victim of a drunk driving accident can pursue financial compensation. Not only can the standard compensation be pursued – things like medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering – but punitive damages could also conceivably be paid out. Jurors and judges don’t go easy on drunk drivers and the settlement amount in DUI cases can be very significant.
If you’ve been hurt in an accident brought on by a drunk driver, contact the Woodland Hills drunk driving accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC for a free consultation.
WOODLAND HILLS LYFT & UBER CAR ACCIDENT LAWYERS
Woodland Hills Rideshare Accident Lawyers
If you or a member of your family has been injured in a car wreck involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can pursue financial compensation for your medical expenses, ongoing rehabilitation, and lost wages. The rideshare era has certainly made getting from place to place in Woodland Hills much easier. Drinking and driving has decreased thanks in part to ridesharing's surge in popularity. It's also provided many people with an additional income source in the gig economy of today.
But as the rideshare industry grows, so do the number of wrecks involving Uber and Lyft drivers. Even worse, insurance companies often don't know the insured party has been 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 Woodland Hills 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 just the minimum-required 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 whether or not their driver was signed onto the app and accepting rides when 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 resulting from the wreck. This includes a passenger injured in a rideshare vehicle, regardless of whether their driver was or wasn’t 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 Woodland Hills.

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 the state of California, it's illegal 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 and 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 Google Maps or GPS, using a handheld cellphone, fiddling around with a radio or CD player, doing makeup, vaping or smoking, taking selfies or recording a video. and eating as they are driving.
