Accidents Involving Seniors
As mentioned in research done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2017, 18% of all traffic fatalities in 2016 were people 65 years of age and older. A 2019 study from AAA (The Automobile Association of America) reported that per mile traveled, fatal crash rates escalate starting out at age 75 and go up dramatically after age 80. And while they determined that this is primarily due to an increased risk of injury and medical issues, not an increased risk of crashes, if they are driving the other car you may be at a higher risk. If you or a family member in the Norwalk, 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 look at your possible remedies.It is widely known that as we grow old we begin to lose many of our skills. Our hearing can lessen, as can our eye-sight, energy level, cognitive ability, and response time. The failure - or delayed ability - to respond to a risk or high risk situation can be the difference between evading an accident completely or becoming part of the accident data. With the development of better medical technology and diet, people are living much longer and have more active life styles. Subsequently, there are more elderly motorists on the road, and as a result there are more accidents involving senior 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 Norwalk, 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 assessment and to go over your possible solutions.
Failure to Yield Accidents
People all over the Norwalk, CA area "fail to yield" on a day to day basis, resulting in numerous accidents.

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 vigorously merge onto roads and/or when lanes merge.Whereas failure to yield accidents are often more minor, they can still result in property damage and bodily harm, which may bring about loss of revenue because of lost time at a job and disability.

Driving While Texting Accidents
Texting driving is the worst conceivable thing you can do, and is not only dangerous, 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 risk of crashing a startling 23 times. And while 47 out of 50 states have banished texting while driving, it still occurs, and it still generates accidents on a frequent basis.

(Motorcycle Industry Council, 2019)While motorcycles make up only 0.6% of all vehicle miles traveled, riders 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 bring about injury or death, 80% of motorcycle accidents result in personal injury or death. Also, motorcyclist deaths were much more likely to happen in metropolitan than in rural 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.Cyclists deal with many of the exact same issues as motorcyclists, but at lower rates of speed. Bicyclists are usually not as noticeable as cars and/or trucks, they aren't as steady on two wheels as a car or truck is on four wheels, and a traffic accident involving a bike has a extremely high percentage likelihood of leading to bodily injury. 81% of pedestrian fatalities in 2018 took place in urban areas, and 40% of pedestrian fatalities among people 70+ in 2018 took place at intersections, in contrast to 22% for those younger than Age 70.

Teenage and Inexperienced Driver Accidents
As you can likely imagine, the more training anyone is getting driving, the more self assured they grow to be and the higher quality driver they end up. Sadly, Teen and brand new drivers must "practice" on the road 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 much more likely to violate the speed limit and follow at closer distances than more mature drivers. That same report found that Teens do not consider driving at 5 to 10 mph above the speed limit to be dangerous.The NHTSA found that drivers ages 15-20 had the greatest percentage in speed related fatalities (32% and 22%) compared to any other age-group in 2016, and that speeding was a component in 31% of Teen driver fatalities. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) discovered that per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are nearly 3 x more likely to be involved in a deadly accident than drivers aged 20+, and that motor vehicle accidents are the primary reason of death for US teens.Granted, no one begins as a fantastic driver; we all needed practice, and many of us are still learning! But Teens who do not have experience are clearly more vulnerable to getting into car or truck crashes. Irrespective of all of the stats indicating that Teen drivers can make a handful of bad judgments, the hard truth is that they are on the road with us, and their abilities affect you and your loved ones.If you have been involved with an accident connected with a teenage or new/unskilled driver, you need to call Law Offices of John C.

Emergency Vehicle Accidents

The lions share of these deaths were occupants of non-emergency vehicles (56%); deaths among pedestrians, emergency vehicle drivers, and emergency vehicle passengers each accounted for about 13% to 14% of the deaths.

Commercial Vehicle Accidents
There are also other vehicles that respond to the scene of collisions; tow trucks for example. While you may think about tow trucks as the men and women who show up to assist clear away the consequences of an accident or assist an disabled car or truck, accidents involving tow trucks occur more often than you would imagine, and can cause considerable physical damage to vehicles, in addition to severe injury to individuals. Like large over-the-road commercial transport trucks (semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.) tow trucks are massive, bulky, heavy and not very maneuverable. Their size and lack of mobility contribute to the physical damage they can do, and when you add a towed-vehicle into the mix you elevate the possibility of accidents even further.Department of Transportation cars and trucks and other support vehicles (tow trucks, power company trucks, highway repairs and 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 big, mobile, and can present dangers on the roads.You should call Law Offices of John C.
