Talk to us BEFORE giving any statement to an insurance company. Our attorneys are very familiar with how insurance companies work to get around paying out on claims. A few of our attorneys have previously worked for major insurance companies. We know the ins and outs used to pay out as little as possible in claims.
One trick is they’ll ask a a bunch of loaded questions to trick you into admitting you actually caused or contributed to the accident. Questions like:
“I understand the other vehicle ran the red light and hit you, but is there more you could’ve done to avoid the accident?”
“I understand that it was raining at the time of the accident. Do you think slick roads played a role in the accident?”
They’re looking to trip you up into saying anything they could use to justifiably lessen the the compensation you can recover for your losses and injuries.
Let’s talk and you can start to refer them to us when they call. We offer a no-obligation FREE consultation. Ultimately, you may not even need a Santa Clarita car accident attorney. However, not exploring it can cost you thousands of dollars. Let’s discuss your case and assess its worth.
INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND
Marketing campaigns might say, “Like a good neighbor” or “You’re in Good Hands” but insurance companies primarily care about their bottom line. Their interests are prioritized, not yours.
An adjuster might initially come off empathetic and attentive. They seem sincere. As if they’re on your side. Working on your behalf to get you a quick settlement. But much of their motivation, when they offer you a quick settlement, is to keep you from talking to a personal injury lawyer. Because they know that the lawyer is going to seek a larger settlement amount.
As a company, they want to collect as much as they can in premiums and pay as little as they can in claims. They want to write you out a quick check and send you on your way. A check for an amount that they persuade you into thinking is reasonable but is significantly less than what you really deserve.
As your attorneys, we’re working for you. You’re our client. And we don’t get paid until we get money for you!
Don’t let an insurance company make you a victim a second time around by convincing you to take a lowball settlement amount.

SANTA CLARITA LYFT & UBER CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS
Santa Clarita Rideshare Car Accident Attorneys
If you or someone you love has been hurt in a collision involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can seek financial compensation for your medical expenses, ongoing rehabilitation, and lost wages. The ridesharing era has certainly made getting around in Santa Clarita 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 a new income stream in the gig economy of today.
But as the ridesharing industry grows, so do the number of wrecks involving Uber and Lyft drivers. Worse yet, insurance companies often don't know the insured party is using their vehicle for ridesharing. This means they might be unwilling to fully compensate victims.
Since ridesharing is a relatively new phenomenon, the legal waters around Lyft and Uber auto accidents are murky at best.
This is why you need the Santa Clarita 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 motorists carrying only state minimum liability coverage of $15,000 for injury or death on their auto policy, Uber and Lyft drivers carry $1 million in liability insurance + uninsured/underinsured coverage. 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 collision took place.
Considering how much insurance Uber and Lyft drivers carry, anyone injured in a car wreck caused by a ridesharing driver could be entitled to more compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain, suffering and emotional trauma tied to the accident. This applies to a passenger injured in a ridesharing vehicle, 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 Santa Clarita.

DISTRACTED DRIVING ATTORNEYS IN SANTA CLARITA
Accidents Caused By Texting While Driving
A major cause of car accidents is distracted driving. Accidents caused by distracted driving range from very serious - many roadway fatalities and wrongful death lawsuits are due to distracted driving - to minor rear-end accidents or fender-benders.
According to research, sending or receiving a tex message increases the risk of crashing by as much as 25 times.
Studies have also concluded that the average driver takes their eyes off the road for 4.6 seconds to send or read a text message. When driving 55 miles per hour, that equates to driving the length of a football field blind.
In California, it's against the law for someone driving an automobile 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 while driving is what many of us immediately think of when distracted driving is mentioned, there are other instances of distracted driving still prevalent. They include: following the directions on an electronic navigation system like GPS or Google Maps, 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 as they are driving.
If you've been hurt in an accident with a distracted driver, M.R. Parker Law, PC can help get you compensated for any expenses and pain or suffering incurred.

Santa Clarita Attorneys for Drunk Driver Accidents
Were you or someone you love hit by a drunk driver in Santa Clarita? What follows this terrible act of negligence and reckless behavior can be devastating.
About one-third of fatalities on U.S. roads and highways are tied to drunk driving. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol isn’t just against the law, it’s a breach of moral conduct that risks the lives of others. A driver under the influence has difficulty focusing, impaired muscle coordination, mental confusion, a lack of alertness, and a slowed reaction time.
Someone who survives a car crash with an intoxicated driver often has very bad injuries to deal with. This includes both bodily injury and mental distress or emotional trauma.
Victims of drunk driving accidents can seek financial compensation. Not only can the standard compensation be pursued – things like medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering – but punitive damages could also conceivably be paid out. Jurors and judges don’t go easy 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 an impaired driver, contact the Santa Clarita drunk driving accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC for a free consultation.
Santa Clarita Lawyers for High Speed Collisions
Driving beyond the speed limit – or driving too fast for road conditions – is second to only distracted driving as the leading cause of most car collisions.
Speeding increases the force of impact. The faster you're driving at the time of the collision, the greater the force of the crash. This generally means more serious injuries and more deaths. Speed also contributes to much more 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 drive responsibly and put forth enough reasonable care to avoid collisions. A driver that speeds neglects this responsibility and is putting everyone at risk - especially bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians.

Most vehicle rollovers involve SUVs or pickup trucks. SUVs are most commonly involved in rollover accidents. This is due to their mass being distributed higher off the road relative to the vehicle's width. The gravity's center is further increased when there's additional cargo and passengers.
Most rollover accidents are single-vehicle accidents - however, rollovers can also happen in multiple-vehicle accidents, particularly if the vehicle is struck from the side.
Although rollovers account for less than 3% of all vehicle accidents, one-third of car accident deaths come in rollovers. This is often attributed to there being partial or full ejection from the vehicle.
