Accidents Involving Seniors
According to an investigation done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2017, 18% of all traffic deaths in 2016 were people 65 years of age and older. A 2019 study from AAA (The Automobile Association of America) found that per mile traveled, fatal crash rates increase starting at age 75 and go up sharply after age 80. And while they determined that this is primarily 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 greater risk. If you or a family member in the San Clemente, 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 go over your possible solutions.It is well known that as we get older we begin to lose many of our skills. Our hearing can lessen, as can our vision, energy level, cognitive ability, and reflexes. The inability - or slowed ability - to react to a hazardous or dangerous situation can be the difference between avoiding an accident completely or becoming part of the accident studies. With the development of enhanced medical technologies and the proper nutrition, people are living for a longer period and have more active daily routines. Subsequently, there are more older drivers on the road, and subsequently there are more accidents involving older 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 San Clemente, 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.
Failure to Yield Accidents
People all over the San Clemente, CA area "fail to yield" on a consistent basis, resulting in many accidents. "Failure to yield" is exactly what it appears to be: someone fails to yield the right of way to someone else, resulting in an accident.Failure to yield accidents are quite common in San Clemente, CA and typically occur at intersections, with an inordinate amount of accidents due to illegal left-hand turns. Failure to yield accidents also commonly occur at blinking red lights when a vehicle fails to make a complete stop, flashing yellow lights, and when drivers aggressively merge onto freeways and/or when lanes merge.Whereas failure to yield accidents are typically more minor, they may result in property damage and personal harm, which may contribute to loss of earnings because of lost time at work and disability. We have seen our share of failure to yield cases at Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC and have a great deal of experience litigating these cases. Allow us to represent you if you need legal counsel who will fight for your rights to the fullest extent of the law. Call (877) 278-6890 today.
Texting While Driving Accidents
Texting driving is the worst conceivable thing you can do, and is not only dangerous, it is quite widespread. A 2019 Driver Knowledge study determined that 1 out of every 3 people text while driving, even though texting while driving will increase the chances 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 results in accidents on a regular basis. If you or a loved one or family member have been in a traffic accident while texting, or while the other driver was texting, you unquestionably need to contact us. Our track record for taking care of San Clemente, CA area drivers is exemplary, and with the considerable nature of this violation you need an advocate who is not only competent with texting while driving accidents, but more importantly, their litigation.
Motorcycle Accidents
In 2018, 8.02% of US households owned motorcycles. (Motorcycle Industry Council, 2019)Although motorcycles account for only 0.6% of all motor vehicle miles traveled, motorcycle drivers result in 14% of all traffic deaths and 17% of all occupant (driver and passenger) fatalities, (NHTSA, 2019) and while 20% of passenger vehicle accidents lead to personal injury or loss of life, 80% of motorcycle accidents lead to injury or loss of life. Also, motorcyclist deaths were much more apt to take place in the city than in non-urban areas (60% vs. 38%). (IIHS, 2019)If you know anyone who was involved with or killed in a motorcycle accident, there is no more ideal legal team in San Clemente, CA than Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC to help you.

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 are exposed to several of the exact same problems as motorcyclists, but at decreased rates of speed. Cyclists typically are not as noticeable as cars and/or trucks, they aren't as secure on 2 wheels as a car is on four wheels, and a crash including a bicycle has a very high percent likelihood of resulting in physical injuries. 81% of pedestrian fatalities in 2018 happened in urban environments, and 40% of pedestrian fatalities among individuals 70 and older in 2018 took place at intersections, compared with 22% for those younger than Age 70. (IIHS, 2019).If you were in an accident involving a bicycle, a pedestrian, or a motorcycle you are going to need to have a knowledgeable lawyer or attorney. You need Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC.

Teenage and Inexperienced Driver Accidents
As you can likely imagine, the more practice somebody may get when driving, the more self-assured they grow to be and the more efficient driver they come to be. Regrettably, teenage and inexperienced drivers must "practice" on the road with the rest of us, and they frequently 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 tailgate than older 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 percentage in speed related fatal accidents (32% and 22%) in contrast to any other age bracket in 2016, and that speeding was a consideration in 31% of Teen driver deaths. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) found that per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are practically three times more likely to be in a deadly accident than drivers aged 20+, and that car accidents are the leading cause of loss of life for US teenagers.Granted, no one starts off as a good driver; all of us needed practice, and many of us are continuing to learn! But teenagers who do not have practical experience are obviously more inclined to getting into car or truck accidents. Despite all of the data showing that teenage drivers can make a handful of inferior choices, the fact is that they are on the streets with us, and their abilities affect you and your loved ones.If you or someone you know has been involved with an automobile accident connected with a teen or new/novice driver, you need to connect with Law Offices of John C.

Emergency Vehicle Accidents
Unfortunately, men and women responding to auto accidents are also subject to collisions of their own. In 2018, 168 people died in crashes connected with emergency vehicles. The majority of these fatalities were occupants of non-emergency vehicles (56%); deaths among pedestrians, emergency vehicle drivers, and emergency vehicle passengers each amounted to about 13% to 14% of the fatalities. When first responders are attempting to get some place very quickly, crashes can occur. If you or a loved one were injured 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 scene of collisions; tow trucks for example. While you may possibly think about tow trucks as the people who show up to help clean up the consequences of a vehicle accident or assist an incapacitated car or truck, accidents involving tow trucks occur more often than you would envision, and can be the source of appreciable physical damage to vehicles, along with severe injuries to people. Like large over-the-road trucks (semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.) tow trucks are massive, bulky, quite heavy and not very maneuverable. Their size and diminished mobility contribute to the damage they can do, and when you insert a towed-vehicle into the situation you increase the risk of accidents even further.Department of Transportation cars and trucks and other service provider vehicles (tow trucks, power company vehicles, freeway repairs and maintenance vehicles, etc.) are all around us, and yet we normally 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 represent risks on the roads.You should call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC immediately at (877) 278-6890 if you are involved with a collision with a business vehicle.
