Reseda High Speed Collision Lawyers

A driver that speeds neglects this responsibility and puts everyone at risk - especially motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Reseda Rideshare Car Accident Lawyers

If you or a loved one has been hurt in a collision involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can pursue financial compensation for your medical expenses, ongoing rehabilitation, and lost wages. The rideshare era has certainly made getting around in Reseda much easier. Drinking and driving has decreased thanks in part to ridesharing's surge in popularity. It has additionally provided many people with a new income stream in today's gig economy.

But as the ridesharing industry grows, so have the number of accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers. Worse yet, insurance companies often don't know the insured party has been using their vehicle for ridesharing. This means they're not always willing to fully compensate victims.

Since ridesharing is a relatively new phenomenon, the legal waters surrounding Uber and Lyft car accidents are murky at best.

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 huge publicly-traded companies that have pulled in billions of dollars. Unlike many drivers carrying just state minimum 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 varying details like if their driver was signed into the app and accepting rides when the accident/incident took place.

Considering how much liability coverage Lyft and Uber drivers carry, anyone injured in an accident involving a ridesharing driver might be entitled to more compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain, suffering and emotional trauma resulting from the wreck. This includes passengers injured in a rideshare vehicle, regardless of whether or not their driver was at-fault.

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 distance of a football field with a blindfold on.

In the state of 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 instantly think of when a distracted driver is mentioned, there are other common types of distracted driving still prevalent. These include: following the directions on an electronic navigation system like GPS or Google Maps, using a handheld cellphone, messing with a radio or CD player, doing makeup, smoking or vaping, taking selfies or recording a video. and eating as they are driving.
