Reseda High Speed Collision Attorney

Driving beyond the speed limit – or driving too fast for road conditions – is second behind distracted driving as the leading cause of most auto crashes.

Speeding increases the force of impact. The faster you're driving at the time of the collision, the greater the force of the collision. This usually means more serious injuries and more fatal car wrecks. Speeding also contributes to significantly more dollars in property damage.

When you drive you're taking a leap of faith. You're trusting those you share the road with. You're trusting that they drive responsibly and put forth enough reasonable care to avoid a wreck. A driver that speeds is neglecting this responsibility and puts everyone at risk - especially pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists.

Let the high-speed collision attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC fight to maximize your compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, pain, suffering, and emotional distress.

Reseda Rear-End Car Accident Attorneys

It's quite too common. Your car comes to a complete stop but the driver behind you doesn't stop. Your car is hit from behind.

Although rear-end accidents seem minor, injuries are prevalent and could bring permanent pain or discomfort if not immediately tended to. Injuries after being rear-ended include whiplash - a strain or tear of ligaments and muscles in the neck, mild or severe concussions, spinal injuries like herniated discs or hyperextension, and lockjaw or TMJ symptoms.

Since rear-end collisions don't typically result in EMTs or ambulances, many people just go home after their car has been rear-ended and don't go to an Emergency Room or Urgent Care to be examined. Symptoms might not appear until hours or days later. If you develop any symptoms, visit a doctor right away.

If you've been rear-ended and injured, contact the rear-end collision lawyers at M.R. Parker Law, PC today for a free evaluation of your case. Often, rear-end accidents can be tied to other factors like driving too fast for conditions or distracted driving.

Reseda Rideshare Car Accident Attorneys

If you or a loved one has been hurt in a car wreck involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can seek financial compensation for your medical bills, ongoing rehabilitation, and lost income. The ridesharing phenomenon has certainly made getting from place to place in Reseda 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 income source in the gig economy of today.

But as the ridesharing industry grows, so do the number of collisions involving Uber and Lyft drivers. Even worse, insurance companies are often unaware the insured party is using their vehicle for ridesharing. This means they're not always willing to fully compensate victims.

Since ridesharing is so new, the legal waters when it comes to Lyft and Uber car crashes are still murky.

This is why you’ll need the Reseda 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 motorists carrying only the minimum-required 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 varying details like if their driver was signed into the app and accepting rides when the accident/incident occurred.

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 wreck. This includes injured passengers in a rideshare car, regardless of whether their driver was or wasn’t at-fault.
