OUR SAN FERNANDO AREA COLLISION ATTORNEYS KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH – WE’RE HERE TO HELP

Few things are as jarring as the sound of a car collision. Vehicle crashes don’t just wreck automobiles, they wreck lives, too. In an instant, with no warning whatsoever, life can end or be forever changed in a serious car crash. And there’s a long road ahead for survivors.

When you’ve been injured in a car accident, the last thing you want is even more stress following what you’ve already gone through. 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 expenses piling up and lost wages complicating things all the more.

The emotional trauma can be unnerving. Anxiety, depression, difficulty sleeping, nightmares, and memory or concentration issues plague you. If you can’t return to work and provide for yourself or your family, that can leave you bored, listless, and depressed.

If you can’t move very well due to injuries sustained in the accident, that lost independence and self-reliance can have you feeling as if you’ve become a burden to friends and family helping you through this time.

Understandably, this is a very challenging time in one’s life. One that shouldn’t be left in the hands of a claims adjuster at an insurance company. Not without someone on your side. Someone like us.


OUR SAN FERNANDO CAR ACCIDENT LAWYERS WILL GET YOU EVERY PENNY YOU’RE OWED

Don’t let a car wreck jeopardize your future and put your finances at risk. Whether you were involved in a serious motor vehicle collision (MCV) or a small fender bender, seek the counsel of our auto accident attorneys in San Fernando today at (818) 334-5711.

For years, M.R. Parker Law has successfully fought for the rights of automobile accident victims. And we’ve won A LOT! Getting good deserving people – those suffering from someone else’s negligence – the compensation they deserve. Don’t let insurance companies take advantage of you by convincing you that your claim is worth anything less than it is.

THE INSURANCE COMPANIES AREN’T YOUR FRIENDS

The insurance company isn’t your friend. Marketing campaigns might say, “Like a good neighbor” or “You’re in Good Hands” but insurance companies are mostly concerned about their bottom line. They look to write you out a quick check for an amount that sounds fair but is well-below what you truly deserve.

They’re not concerned about getting you a settlement that’s large enough to pay for your recovery and losses. They’re more interested in padding their own profit margin. They want to settle your claim as fast as they can, paying out 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 many legitimately nice people in the insurance industry. Just never lose sight of the fact they’re NOT on your side, no matter how nice they come off. They’re not working for you. WE ARE!


TALK TO A SAN FERNANDO CAR ACCIDENT INJURY LAWYER BEFORE YOU SPEAK TO AN INSURANCE COMPANY

If you’ve been injured in an automobile accident, you really have to talk to a dedicated auto accident lawyer immediately. The longer you wait, the more detrimental it is to your case.

When an insurance company asks for your statement of events, they’re picking apart your responses for words they can use against you. They’ll try to make it seem as if you’ve admitted some degree of fault for the accident. Something to justify any low ball settlement they offer. This is why you need our legal advice BEFORE you provide them with any statement.

We provide a FREE consultation and anyone that walks through our doors is treated like family. The experienced and knowledgeable San Fernando personal injury attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC will shield you from having to deal with the insurance company while getting you the full compensation you deserve.

And, again, we work on a contingency fee, which means we don’t make money until we get money for you!

SAN FERNANDO RIDESHARING ACCIDENT LAWYERS


San Fernando Rideshare Accident Lawyers

Lyft & UBER Accident Attorneys in San Fernando, CA | M.R. Parker Law, PCIf you or a member of your family has been hurt in a car accident involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can seek financial compensation for your medical bills, ongoing physical therapy, and lost wages. The ridesharing era has certainly made getting around in San Fernando much easier. Drinking and driving has decreased thanks in part to ridesharing's surge in popularity. It has also 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. Even worse, insurance companies often don't know the insured party has been using their car for ridesharing. This means they might be unwilling to fully compensate victims.

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

This is why you need the San Fernando Lyft and Uber accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC by your side. Uber and Lyft are huge publicly-traded companies worth billions of dollars. Unlike a lot of motorists 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 things like whether or not their driver was signed into the app and accepting rides at the time of the collision occurred.

Considering how much insurance Uber and Lyft drivers carry, anyone injured in an accident involving 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 injured passengers in a ridesharing car, regardless of whether or not their driver was 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 attorneys in San Fernando.

San Fernando High Speed Collision Lawyers

High Speed Car Collision Attorney in San Fernando, CA | M.R. Parker Law, PCDriving over the speed limit – or driving too fast for road conditions – is second behind distracted driving as the leading cause of most car collisions.

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

When you get behind the wheel of a car you're taking a leap of faith. You're trusting those you share the road with. You're trusting that they are responsible drivers and demonstrate enough reasonable care to avoid collisions. A driver that speeds is neglecting this responsibility and puts everyone at risk - especially bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians.

If you’ve been hurt in a high-speed crash in San Fernando, and it can be proven the other party was speeding, you may be entitled to a payout.

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

San Fernando Rollover Accident Lawyers

Vehicle Rollover Accident Attorneys in San Fernando, CA | M.R. Parker Law, PC

Rollover accidents commonly happen when a driver has lost control of their car and it trips over something - usually uneven pavement, a curb, tree stump, or an object.

Most vehicle rollovers involve SUVs or pickup trucks. SUVs are the vehicles that typically come to mind when one hears about a rollover accident. The reason for this is 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 passengers and cargo.

The majority of rollover accidents are single-vehicle accidents - however, rollovers can also occur in multi-vehicle collisions, particularly if the collision's impact is in the side.

While rollover accidents account for fewer than 3% of all vehicle accidents, they make up more than one-third of car accident fatalities. This is often attributed to there being partial or full ejection from the vehicle.

If you've been injured in a rollover accident, contact auto accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC to determine the worth of your case.

Texting While Driving Accidents

Texting While Driving Accident Attorneys in San Fernando, CA

Distracted driving is a major cause of auto accidents. Crashes caused by distracted driving range from very serious - it is the number one cause of highway fatalities and wrongful death lawsuits - to minor rear-end accidents or fender-benders.

According to research, sending or receiving a tex message increases the risk of a collision 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. If driving 55 mph, that equates to driving the length of a football field with a blindfold on.

In California, it's illegal for someone operating a motor vehicle 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 most immediately think of when a distracted driver is mentioned, there are other common forms of distracted driving still prevalent. They include: looking at directions on an electronic navigation system like GPS or Google Maps, talking on a handheld cellphone, messing with a radio or CD player, doing makeup, vaping or smoking, taking selfies or recording a video. and eating as they are driving.

If you've been involved in an accident caused by distracted driving, connect with M.R. Parker Law, PC today to discuss compensation for your injuries.

Someone who survives a car crash with an intoxicated driver often has severe injuries they must live with. This includes both physical pain and mental distress or emotional trauma.

Victims of drunk driving accidents can pursue financial compensation. Not only can the standard compensation be pursued – things like medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering – but punitive damages could also conceivably be paid out. Judges and jurors don’t go easy on drunk drivers and the payout in DUI cases can be very significant.

  • Hourly Pay or Weekly/MonthlySalary
  • Bonuses and Commission
  • Sick Leave and Vacation Pay
  • Overtime Pay
  • Self-Employment Wages

Most property damage tied to a car accident is handled by insurance companies. You really shouldn't need an attorney to help with the insurance claims process. That said, if the insurance company refuses to pay out benefits you're owed, or denies your claim with no reasonable basis, they're acting in "bad faith" and this is possible grounds for a lawsuit.

If you need some extra help getting what you feel you're owed from the insurance company, consider speaking with one of the attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC.
