Accidents Involving Seniors

As mentioned in a study 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 escalate starting out at age 75 and go up sharply after age 80. And while they concluded that this is principally due to an heightened risk of 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 Cerritos, 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 remedies.It is well-known that as we age we begin to lose many of our abilities. Our hearing can lessen, as can our eyesight, energy level, cognitive ability, and reactions. The failure - or delayed ability - to respond to a hazardous or high risk situation can be the difference between avoiding an accident completely or becoming part of the accident studies. With the development of superior medical innovation and diet, people are living a lot longer and have more active lifestyles. As a result, there are more older drivers on the road, and hence there are more accidents that involve elderly 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 Cerritos, 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.

Failure to Yield Accidents

Drivers all over the Cerritos, CA area "fail to yield" on a day to day basis, resulting in many accidents.

Failure to yield accidents also quite often occur at blinking red lights when a car or truck fails to make a complete stop, blinking yellow lights, and when drivers assertively merge onto highways and/or when lanes merge.Whereas failure to yield accidents are often more minor, they can still result in property damage and bodily injury, which may result in loss of revenue because of lost time at a job and disability.

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 banished texting while driving, it still happens, and it still can cause accidents on a routine basis.

(Motorcycle Industry Council, 2019)Although motorcycles account for only 0.6% of all motor vehicle miles traveled, motorcycle drivers account for 14% of all traffic fatalities and 17% of all occupant (driver and passenger) deaths, (NHTSA, 2019) and while 20% of passenger vehicle accidents bring about injury or loss of life, 80% of motorcycle accidents account for injury or loss of life.

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.Bicyclists are exposed to many of the same situations as motorcyclists, but at reduced rates of speed. Bicycles aren't as visible as passenger cars and/or trucks, they aren't as stable on 2 tires as a car is on four tires, and a traffic accident including a bicycle has a very high percentage likelihood of leading to physical injuries. 81% of pedestrian fatalities in 2018 occurred in urban areas, and 40% of pedestrian fatalities involving someone 70 and older in 2018 happened at intersections, in comparison to 22% for those younger than Age 70.

Teenage and Inexperienced Driver Accidents

As you can likely imagine, the more training anyone gets behind the wheel, the more secure they grow to be and the more effective driver they grow to be. Sadly, Teen and new drivers are required to "practice" on the road with the remainder of us, and they often have a lot to learn! A 2019 Texas A&M Transportation Institute study concluded that Teens are much more likely to speed and follow at closer distances than older drivers. That same report found that Teens normally 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%) in contrast to any other age bracket in 2016, and that driving too fast was an issue in 31% of Teen driver fatalities. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) determined that per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are practically three times more likely to be involved in a life threatening crash than drivers aged 20 and older, and that motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of loss of life for US teens.Granted, no one starts as a fantastic driver; the majority of us required practice, and a number of us are still learning! But Teens who are lacking practical experience are obviously more inclined to getting into car accidents. In spite of all of the data indicating that Teen drivers can make some poor decisions, the fact is that they are driving on the road with us, and their abilities affect you and your loved ones.If you or someone you know has been associated with a vehicle accident involving a teenage or new/unskilled driver, you need to get in touch with Law Offices of John C.

Emergency Vehicle Accidents

Unfortunately, men and women responding to crashes are also subject to accidents of their own. In 2018, 168 people were killed in accidents connected with emergency vehicles. The 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.

Commercial Vehicle Accidents

There are also other vehicles that respond to the location of car accidents; tow trucks for instance. While you may possibly think about tow trucks as the men and women who show up to help to tidy up the consequences of a crash or assist an disabled car or truck, accidents involving tow trucks occur more often than you would envision, and can be the source of significant physical damage to vehicles, not to mention severe injuries to individuals. Like large over-the-road commercial transport trucks (semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.) tow trucks are massive, bulky, heavy and not very agile. 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 elevate the risk of accidents even further.Department of Transportation vehicles and other specialty vehicles (tow trucks, electric power company vehicles, road maintenance trucks, etc.) are 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, on the move, and can represent potential risks on the roads.You should call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC as soon as possible at (877) 278-6890 if you are involved in a vehicle accident with a commercial vehicle.
