Reseda High Speed Collision Lawyers

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

Speeding increases the force of impact. The faster you're going 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 higher dollar property damage.

When you drive you're taking a leap of faith. You're trusting those you share the road with. You trust that they are responsible drivers and demonstrate enough reasonable care to avoid an automobile accident. 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 collision 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 maximize your compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, pain, suffering, and emotional distress.

Reseda Rear Impact Collision Lawyers

It happens very frequently, and it's happened to all of us at some point. You come to a full stop but the driver behind you doesn't stop. Your car is hit from behind.

Although rear-end accidents are less serious than a major collision, injuries are prevalent and could result in lifelong pain or discomfort 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 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 become noticeable until hours or days later. If you develop any symptoms, get a checkup as soon as possible.

If you've been rear-ended and injured, contact the rear-end collision attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC today for a free evaluation of your case. Many times, 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 someone you love has been hurt in a collision involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can pursue financial compensation for your medical expenses, ongoing physical therapy, and lost income. The rideshare era has certainly made getting from place to place in Reseda much easier. Drinking and driving has decreased thanks in part to ridesharing's surge in popularity. It's also provided many people with a new income stream in the gig economy of today.

But as the rideshare industry grows, so have the number of accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers. Even worse, insurance companies are often unaware 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 still murky.

This is why you'll benefit from having the Reseda 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 a lot of drivers carrying only the minimum-required liability coverage of $15,000 for injury or death on their auto policy, Uber and Lyft drivers have a $1 million insurance policy. But rideshare companies will look at things like if their driver was signed onto the app and accepting rides at the time of the accident/incident took place.

Considering how much insurance Uber and Lyft drivers carry, anyone injured in a collision with a ridesharing driver might be entitled to more compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and pain, suffering and emotional trauma tied to the accident. This applies to injured passengers in a rideshare vehicle, regardless of whether or not their driver was at-fault.
