Woodland Hills Lawyers for DUI Accidents
Have you or someone you love been hit by a drunk driver in Woodland Hills? The aftermath of this this terrible act of negligence and reckless behavior can be devastating.
Approximately one-third of fatalities on U.S. roads and highways are caused by drunk driving. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol isn’t just illegal, it’s a moral breach of conduct that endangers the lives of others. A driver while intoxicated or high has trouble focusing, muscle impairment, problems with coordination, mental confusion, a lack of alertness, and a delayed response time.
Someone who survives being hit by a drunk driver often has very bad injuries to deal with. This includes both physical pain and emotional trauma or mental distress.
Victims of drunk driving accidents can seek financial compensation. Not only can the standard compensation be pursued – things like medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering – but punitive damages could also conceivably be paid out. Judges and jurors can be hard on drunk drivers and the settlement amount in DUI cases can be very significant.
If you’ve been injured in a car wreck caused 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 ACCIDENT LAWYERS
Woodland Hills Rideshare Accident Attorneys
If you or someone you love has been hurt in a car accident involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can pursue financial compensation for your medical expenses, ongoing physical therapy, and lost wages. The rideshare era has certainly made getting around in Woodland Hills much easier. Drinking and driving has decreased thanks in part to ridesharing's surge in popularity. It has additionally provided many people with a new income stream in today's gig economy.
However, as the ridesharing industry grows, so have the number of collisions involving Uber and Lyft drivers. Worse yet, insurance companies often do not know the insured party has been using their car for ridesharing. This means they might be unwilling to fully compensate victims.
Since ridesharing is so new, the legal waters when it comes to Lyft and Uber car crashes are murky at best.
This is why you’ll need the Woodland Hills 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 many drivers carrying just the minimum-required liability coverage of $15,000 for injury or death on their car insurance, 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 costs, lost wages, and pain, suffering and emotional trauma resulting from the accident. This includes injured passengers 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 lawyers in Woodland Hills.

Although texting and driving is what many of us instantly think of when distracted driving 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, 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 as they are driving.
