Accidents Involving Seniors
As outlined by a report done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2017, 18% of all traffic deaths in 2016 were among people 65 years of age and older. A 2019 report from AAA (The Automobile Association of America) reported that per mile traveled, deadly crash rates rise starting out at age 75 and increase dramatically after age 80. And while they determined that this is mainly due to an heightened risk of injury and medical complications, not an increased risk of crashes, if they are driving the other car you may be at a additional risk. If you or a family member in the Marina del Rey, CA area have been in an accident involving a senior citizen, or if you are over 65 and have been in an accident, contact Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free assessment and to look at your possible solutions.It is well recognized that as we age we begin to lose many of our skills. Our hearing can lessen, as can our visual acuity, energy level, cognitive ability, and reactions. The failure - or slowed ability - to react to a risk or unsafe situation can be the difference between steering clear of an accident entirely or becoming part of the accident studies. With the advent of improved medical innovation and nutrition, people are living much longer and have more active lifestyles. Consequently, there are more older vehicle operators on the road, and thereby there are more accidents that involve elderly drivers. According to Consumer Reports, in 2017 over 3.5 million Americans age 85+ held a driver's license. If you or a family member in the Marina del Rey, CA area have been in an accident involving a senior citizen, or if you are over 65 and have been in an accident, contact Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free appointment and to take a look at your potential solutions.
Failure to Yield Accidents
Drivers all over the Marina del Rey, CA area "fail to yield" on a day to day basis, resulting in numerous accidents.

Failure to yield accidents also frequently occur at blinking red lights when a car or truck fails to come to a complete stop, flashing yellow lights, and when drivers aggressively merge onto highways and/or when lanes merge.While failure to yield accidents are often more minor, they can still result in property damage and personal harm, which may contribute to loss of earnings because of lost time at work and disability.

Texting While Driving Accidents
Texting driving is the worst possible thing you can do, and is not only hazardous, it is quite prevalent. 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 prohibited texting while driving, it still takes place, and it still can cause accidents on a consistent basis. If you or a loved one or family member have been in an accident while texting, or while the other driver was texting, you definitely need to contact us.

Motorcycle Accidents
In 2018, 8.02% of US households owned motorcycles. (Motorcycle Industry Council, 2019)While motorcycles make up 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) deaths, (NHTSA, 2019) and while 20% of passenger vehicle crashes lead to injury or dying, 80% of motorcycle crashes end in personal injury or loss of life. Also, motorcyclist deaths were much more likely to take place in metropolitan than in outlying areas (60% vs. 38%).

Bicycle and Pedestrian 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.Bicyclists experience many of the very same problems as motorcyclists, but at reduced speeds. Bicyclists usually are not as visible as passenger cars and/or trucks, they aren't as stable on 2 wheels as a car or truck is on four tires, and a collision involving a bike has a extremely high percent probability of resulting in bodily injury. 81% of pedestrian fatalities in 2018 occurred in urban locations, and 40% of pedestrian fatalities among men and women 70+ in 2018 took place at intersections, compared to 22% for those younger than 70. (IIHS, 2019).If you were in an accident involving a bike, a jogger, or a motorcycle you are going to need a professional lawyer. You need Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC.

Teenage and Inexperienced Driver Accidents
As you can potentially imagine, the more practice anyone is getting behind the wheel, the more secure they become and the more efficient driver they grow to be. Regrettably, Teen and new drivers are required to "practice" on the road with the remainder of us, and they typically 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 follow at closer distances than seasoned drivers. That same report revealed 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 greatest representation in speed related fatal crashes (32% and 22%) in comparison to any other age group in 2016, and that speeding was a component in 31% of Teen driver deaths. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) found that per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are essentially 3 x more likely to be involved in a fatal accident than drivers aged 20+, and that car accidents are the leading reason of death for US teens.Granted, no one starts as an excellent driver; every one of us required practice, and a number of us are continuing to learn! But teenagers who don't have experience are obviously more vulnerable to getting into car or truck accidents. Irrespective of all of the data showing that Teen drivers can make a handful of poor judgments, the hard truth is that they are on the highway with us, and their tendencies affect you and your loved ones.If you have been involved in a major accident which involves a teen or new/unskilled driver, you need to call Law Offices of John C.

Emergency Vehicle Accidents
Regrettably, men and women responding to accidents are also subject to collisions of their own. In 2018, 168 people died in crashes involving emergency vehicles. The vast majority of these deaths were occupants of non-emergency vehicles (56%); fatalities among pedestrians, emergency vehicle drivers, and emergency vehicle passengers each amounted to about 13% to 14% of the deaths.

Call (877) 278-6890 today to set up your initial consultation.
Commercial Vehicle Accidents
There are also other vehicles that respond to the scene of collisions; tow trucks for instance. While you might possibly think about tow trucks as the men and women who make an appearance to help to clean up the consequences of an auto accident or assist an incapacitated car or truck, accidents involving tow trucks occur more often than you would imagine, and can cause considerable damage to vehicles, not to mention serious accidental injury to individuals. Like large over-the-road vehicles (semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.) tow trucks are big, bulky, quite heavy and not very maneuverable. Their size and decrease in mobility contribute to the damage they can do, and when you put a towed-vehicle into the mix you elevate the risk of accidents even further.Department of Transportation vehicles and other support vehicles (tow trucks, electric power company vehicles, freeway routine maintenance trucks, etc.) are just about everywhere, and yet we usually do not notice them as much because we are so acquainted with seeing them. The fact is, however, that they are heavy, mobile, and can present hazards on the roadways.You should call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC as soon as possible at (877) 278-6890 if you are involved in an accident with a business vehicle.
