High Speed Crash Attorneys in Reseda

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

Speed increases the force of impact. The faster you're traveling at the time of the crash, the greater the force of the crash. This generally means more serious injuries and more fatal car accidents. Speed also contributes to much more property damage.

When you drive you're taking a leap of faith. You're trusting those you're sharing the road with. You're trusting that they drive responsibly and put forth enough reasonable care to avoid collisions. A driver that speeds is neglecting this responsibility and puts everyone at risk - especially pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists.

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

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

Reseda Rear-End Car Accident Attorneys

It happens way too much. Your car comes to a complete stop ,however, the vehicle 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 being rear-ended include whiplash - also known as a neck sprain or a neck strain, mild or severe concussions, spinal injuries like herniated discs or hyperextension, and lockjaw or TMJ symptoms.

Since rear-end collisions don't usually 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, visit a doctor 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 Lawyers

If you or a member of your family has been hurt in an accident involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can seek financial compensation for your medical expenses, ongoing rehabilitation, and lost wages. The rideshare phenomenon has certainly made getting around in Reseda much easier. 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.

But as the ridesharing industry grows, so do the number of collisions involving Uber and Lyft drivers. Worse yet, insurance companies often don't know the insured party has been using their car 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 murky at best.

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 major 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 insurance, Uber and Lyft drivers have a $1 million insurance policy. But rideshare companies will look at varying details like whether or not their driver was signed into the app and accepting rides at the time of the accident/incident took place.

Considering how much liability coverage Lyft and Uber drivers carry, anyone injured in a car wreck caused by a ridesharing driver might be entitled to more compensation for medical costs, lost income, and pain, suffering and emotional trauma resulting from the wreck. This applies to a passenger injured in a ridesharing vehicle, regardless of whether their driver was or wasn’t at-fault.

Texting & Driving Accidents

Distracted driving is a major cause of different types of auto accidents. 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 statistics, sending or receiving a tex message increases 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. If driving 55 mph, that equates to driving the length of a football field with a blindfold on.

In California, it's against the law for drivers 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 while driving is what many of us instantly think of when a distracted driver is mentioned, there are other common forms of distracted driving still prevalent. These include: looking at directions on an electronic navigation system like GPS or Google Maps, using a handheld cellphone, messing with a radio or CD player, doing makeup, vaping or smoking, taking selfies or recording a video. and eating while driving.
