You’re already banged up and dealing with injuries, having trouble carrying out day-to-day activities, and handling the loss of your car. Then you’ve got the medical bills piling up and lost time at work complicating things all the more.
The emotional distress can be troubling. Panic disorder, depression, trouble sleeping, nightmares, and memory or concentration problems plague you. If you aren’t able to return to work and provide for yourself or your family, that can that can leave you listless and depressed after awhile.

THE INSURANCE COMPANIES AREN’T YOUR FRIENDS
The insurance company isn’t your friend. Sure, the marketing slogans imply, “Like a good neighbor” or “You’re in Good Hands” but insurance companies primarily care about their bottom line. They look to quickly write out a check to your name for an amount that sounds reasonable but is significantly less than what you really deserve.
They’re not interested in getting you a settlement that’s large enough to pay for your recovery and losses. They’re more concerned with padding their own profit margin. They want to settle your claim as fast as they can, for as little as possible, before you bring in a car accident lawyer who will land you a bigger settlement.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t nice insurance adjusters. There are plenty of legitimately nice people in the insurance industry. Just never lose sight of the fact they’re NOT on your side, no matter how empathetic or understanding they may seem. They’re not working for you. WE ARE!

SAN BERNARDINO LYFT & UBER CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS
San Bernardino Rideshare Car Accident Lawyers
If you or someone you love has been injured in a car wreck involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can seek financial compensation for your medical bills, ongoing rehabilitation, and lost wages. The rideshare era has certainly made getting around in San Bernardino 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 an extra source of income in the gig economy of today.
However, as the rideshare industry grows, so do the number of wrecks involving Uber and Lyft drivers. Worse yet, 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 surrounding Uber and Lyft car accidents are still murky.
This is why you'll benefit from having the San Bernardino Lyft and Uber accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC in your corner. Uber and Lyft are major publicly-traded companies valued at billions of dollars. Unlike many drivers carrying just 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 varying details like if their driver was signed into the app and accepting rides at the time of the accident/incident occurred.
Considering how much liability coverage Lyft and Uber drivers carry, anyone injured in a car wreck caused by a ridesharing driver could be entitled to more compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and pain, suffering and emotional trauma tied to the wreck. This applies to a passenger injured in a ridesharing car, 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 San Bernardino.

San Bernardino High Speed Crash Attorneys
Driving over the speed limit – or driving too fast for road conditions – is second to only distracted driving as the leading cause of most auto crashes.
Speeding increases the force of impact. The higher the speed at the time of the collision, the greater the force of the crash. This generally means more serious injuries and more deaths. Speeding also contributes to significantly more dollars in property damage.
When you’re behind the wheel, you're taking a leap of faith. You're trusting those you're sharing the road with. You trust that they are responsible drivers and demonstrate enough reasonable care to avoid collisions. A driver that speeds neglects this responsibility and puts everyone at risk - especially bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians.
If you’ve been injured in a high-speed crash in San Bernardino, and it can be proven the other party was speeding, you might be entitled to compensation.

SAN BERNARDINO TEXTING WHILE DRIVING ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS
Accidents Caused By Texting While Driving
Distracted driving is a major cause of auto accidents. 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 studies, sending or receiving a tex message ups the risk of a collision 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. If driving 55 mph, that equates to driving the length of a football field with a blindfold on.
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 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 GPS or Google Maps, talking on a handheld cell phone, fiddling around with a radio or CD player, doing makeup, vaping or smoking, taking selfies or recording a video. and eating while driving.
If you've been injured in an accident with a distracted driver, contact M.R. Parker Law, PC to discuss legal help for your injuries.

Both could cause you to collide with other automobiles or hit a median, telephone pole, tree, or another object.
