Accidents Involving Seniors
According to a report done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2017, 18% of all traffic fatalities in 2016 were among people 65 years of age and older. A 2019 report from AAA (The Automobile Association of America) found that per mile traveled, lethal crash rates rise starting out at age 75 and rise dramatically after age 80. And while they determined that this is primarily due to an more significant risk of personal injury and medical issues, not an increased risk of crashes, if they are behind the wheel of the other car you may be at a increased risk. If you or a family member in the Fillmore, CA area have been in an accident involving a senior citizen, or if you are a Senior driver and have been in an accident, contact Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free appointment and to go over your potential solutions.It is widely known that as we grow older we begin to lose many of our skills. Our hearing can decrease, as can our eye-sight, energy level, cognitive ability, and reflexes. The inability - or slowed ability - to respond to a risk or dangerous situation can be the difference between evading an accident completely or becoming part of the accident studies. With the advent of better medical technology and the proper nutrition, people are living much longer and have more active lifestyles. Consequently, there are more senior drivers on the road, and subsequently there are more accidents involving senior drivers. According to Consumer Reports, in 2017 over 3.5 million Americans 85 and older held a driver's license. If you or a family member in the Fillmore, CA area have been in an accident involving a senior citizen, or if you are a Senior driver and have been in an accident, contact Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free consultation and to discuss your potential solutions.
Failure to Yield Accidents
Drivers all over the Fillmore, CA area "fail to yield" on a day to day basis, resulting in numerous accidents. "Failure to yield" is precisely what it appears to be: someone fails to yield the right of way to someone else, contributing to an accident.Failure to yield accidents are quite common in Fillmore, CA and regularly occur at intersections, with an excessive amount of accidents resulting from left-hand turns. Failure to yield accidents also frequently occur at flashing red lights when a car or truck fails to come to a complete stop, blinking yellow lights, and when drivers aggressively merge onto highways and/or when lanes merge.Whereas failure to yield accidents are typically more minor, they may still result in property damage and bodily trauma, which may contribute to loss of revenue because of lost time at a job and disability. We have seen our share of failure to yield cases at Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC and have lots of expertise trying these cases. Allow us to work for you if you need a lawyer who will fight for your rights to the fullest extent of the law. Call (877) 278-6890 today.
Driving While Texting Accidents
Texting behind the wheel of a moving vehicle is the worst potential thing you can do, and is not only hazardous, it is quite commonplace. A 2019 Driver Knowledge study determined that 1 out of every 3 people text while driving, even though texting while driving will increase the possibility of crashing a startling 23 times. And while 47 out of 50 states have banished texting while driving, it still occurs, and it still results in accidents on a regular basis.

Motorcycle Accidents
In 2018, 8.02% of US households owned motorcycles. (Motorcycle Industry Council, 2019)Even though motorcycles are responsible for only 0.6% of all motor vehicle miles traveled, motorcyclists account for 14% of all traffic fatalities and 17% of all occupant (driver and passenger) fatalities, (NHTSA, 2019) and while 20% of passenger car accidents result in an injury or dying, 80% of motorcycle accidents result in injury or death. Also, motorcyclist fatalities were much more apt to occur in the city than in non-urban areas (60% vs. 38%).

Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Accidents involving pedestrians and bicyclists can be even more complicated than vehicle-to-vehicle accidents because the other party may or may not have insurance.Cyclists deal with quite a few of the very same challenges as motorcyclists, but at reduced rates of speed. Bicyclists aren't as noticeable as cars and/or trucks, they aren't as steady on two wheels as a car is on four tires, and a crash involving a bicycle has a very high percentage likelihood of leading to bodily trauma. 81% of pedestrian fatalities in 2018 occurred in metropolitan areas, and 40% of pedestrian deaths involving men and women 70+ in 2018 happened at intersections, compared to 22% for those younger than Age 70. (IIHS, 2019).If you were in an accident involving a bicycle, a walker, or a motorcycle you are likely to really want a qualified legal professional. You need Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC.

Teenage and Inexperienced Driver Accidents
As you can probably imagine, the more practice a person gets driving, the more self assured they grow to be and the more comfortable driver they grow to be. Unfortunately, Teen and inexperienced drivers have to "practice" on the roads with the remainder of us, and they usually have a lot to learn! A 2019 Texas A&M Transportation Institute study determined that Teens are more likely to violate the speed limit and tailgate than older drivers. That same report found that Teens do not consider driving at 5 to 10 mph above the speed limit to be hazardous.The NHTSA found that drivers ages 15-20 had the highest representation in speed related fatal collisions (32% and 22%) compared to any other age-group in 2016, and that driving too fast was a component in 31% of Teen driver deaths. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) determined that per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are essentially 3 times more likely to be in a fatal crash than drivers aged 20+, and that motor vehicle accidents are the leading reason of death for US teenagers.Granted, no one starts off as an excellent driver; every one of us needed practice, and many of us are continuing to learn! But teenagers who do not have practical experience are obviously more vulnerable to getting into car accidents. Despite all of the data indicating that teenage drivers can make a lot of inferior decisions, the hard truth is that they are driving on the road with us, and their performance affects you and your loved ones.If you or someone you know has been associated with a car accident connected with a teenage or new/inexperienced driver, you need to get in touch with Law Offices of John C.

Emergency Vehicle Accidents
Sadly, people responding to auto accidents are also exposed to collisions of their own. In 2018, 168 people died in accidents involving emergency vehicles. The vast majority of these fatalities were occupants of non-emergency vehicles (56%); fatalities among pedestrians, emergency vehicle drivers, and emergency vehicle passengers each accounted for about 13% to 14% of the fatalities. When first responders are making an attempt to get somewhere very quickly, accidents can occur. If you or a loved one were wounded in an accident involving an ambulance, police car, firetruck, or other emergency vehicle, our law firm, Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC can assist you. Call (877) 278-6890 today to set up your initial consultation.
Commercial Vehicle Accidents
There are also other vehicles that respond to the location of collisions; tow trucks for example. While you may think about tow trucks as the people who show up to help clear up the consequences of a crash or assist an incapacitated car or truck, accidents involving tow trucks occur more frequently than you would imagine, and can cause considerable damage to vehicles, as well as serious injury to people. Like large over-the-road vehicles (semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.) tow trucks are massive, bulky, heavy and not very maneuverable. Their size and lack of mobility play a role in the destruction they can do, and when you add a towed-vehicle into the mix you increase the possibility of accidents even further.Department of Transportation vehicles and other specialty vehicles (tow trucks, electric power company trucks, freeway repairs and maintenance vehicles, etc.) are just about everywhere, and yet we usually do not notice them as much because we are so comfortable with seeing them. The fact is, however, that they are large, mobile, and can represent dangers on the roads.You should call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC right away at (877) 278-6890 if you are involved in a vehicle accident with a business vehicle.
