Reseda High Speed Collision Attorney

Exceeding the speed limit – or driving too fast for road conditions – is second to only distracted driving as the leading cause of most car crashes.

Speeding increases the force of impact. The faster you're traveling at the time of the collision, the greater the force of the crash. This usually means more serious injuries and more deaths. Speeding also contributes to much more property damage.

When you get behind the wheel of a car you're taking a leap of faith. You're trusting those you share the road with. You're trusting that they are responsible drivers and put forth enough reasonable care to avoid an automobile accident. A driver that speeds is neglecting this responsibility and is putting everyone at risk - especially motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians.

If you’ve been hurt in a high-speed crash in Reseda, and it can be proven the other party was speeding, you may be entitled to compensation.

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

Rear-End Car Accident Lawyers in Reseda

It happens way too much. Your car comes to a full stop ,however, the car behind you doesn't stop. Your car is rear-ended.

Although rear-end accidents seem minor, injuries are prevalent and could be a nagging problem if not immediately tended to. Injuries after your car is rear-ended include whiplash - which happens when a person's head moves backward and then forward again with great force, mild or severe concussions, spinal injuries like herniated discs or hyperextension, and lockjaw or TMJ symptoms.

Since rear-end collisions typically don't result in EMTs or ambulances, many people just go home after they're in a rear-end collision and don't follow-up with a physician. Symptoms very commonly don't become noticeable until hours or days later. If you develop any symptoms, get a checkup 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 attributed 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 pursue financial compensation for your medical bills, ongoing physical therapy, and lost wages. The ridesharing phenomenon has certainly made getting around 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 a new source of income in today's gig economy.

However, as the ridesharing industry grows, so do 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 surrounding Uber and Lyft car accidents are still murky.

This is why you need the Reseda Lyft and Uber accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC in your corner. Uber and Lyft are major publicly-traded companies that have pulled in billions of dollars. Unlike a lot of motorists carrying only the minimum-required liability coverage of $15,000 for injury or death on their auto 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 occurred.

Considering the amount of insurance covering Uber and Lyft drivers, anyone injured in a collision with a ridesharing driver might be entitled to more compensation for medical costs, lost income, and pain, suffering and emotional trauma resulting from the accident. This applies to passengers injured in a rideshare car, regardless of whether or not their driver was at-fault.

Accidents Caused By A Distracted Driver

A major cause of car accidents is distracted driving. Accidents caused by distracted driving range from very serious - a high number of roadway/highway fatalities, as well as wrongful death lawsuits, are due to distracted drivers - to minor rear-end accidents or fender-benders.

According to statistics, sending or receiving a tex message 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. 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 operating a motor vehicle to use their cell phones to make a call, talk without a hands-free setup, and read or type out a text message while driving.

Although texting and driving is what all of us immediately think of when a distracted driver 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, using a handheld cell phone, messing with a radio or CD player, doing makeup, smoking or vaping, taking selfies or recording a video. and eating while driving.
