Accidents Involving Seniors

As outlined by 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 study from AAA (The Automobile Association of America) reported that per mile traveled, lethal crash rates rise starting out at age 75 and go up sharply after age 80. And while they concluded that this is principally 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 higher risk. If you or a family member in the Seal Beach, 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.

The failure - or delayed ability - to respond to a risk or high risk scenario can be the difference between avoiding an accident altogether or becoming part of the accident data. With the development of superior medical innovation and diet, people are living much longer and have more active lifestyles. Subsequently, there are more older motorists 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 Seal Beach, 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 talk about your potential remedies.

Failure to Yield Accidents

Drivers all over the Seal Beach, CA area "fail to yield" on a day to day basis, resulting in quite a few accidents. "Failure to yield" is precisely what it sounds like: someone fails to yield the right of way to someone else, bringing about an accident. Failure to yield accidents are quite common in Seal Beach, CA and regularly occur at intersections, with an excessive amount of accidents due to illegal left-hand turns. Failure to yield accidents also sometimes occur at flashing red lights when a car or truck fails to make a complete stop, blinking yellow lights, and when drivers vigorously merge onto highways and/or when lanes merge. While failure to yield accidents are typically more minor, they may result in property damage and personal injuries, which may bring about loss of earnings because of lost time at a job and disability. We've seen our share of failure to yield cases at Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC and have loads of experience trying these cases. Allow us to work for you if you need an attorney who will fight for your rights to the fullest extent of the law. Call (877) 278-6890 today.

Driving While Texting Accidents

Texting driving is the worst conceivable thing you can do, and is not only hazardous, 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 increases the risk of crashing a startling 23 times. And while 47 out of 50 states have prohibited texting while driving, it still occurs, and it still causes accidents on a frequent basis. If you or a loved one or family member have been in a car accident while texting, or while the other driver was texting, you absolutely need to contact us. Our reputation for assisting Seal Beach, CA area drivers is exemplary, and with the significant nature of this offense you need a team of legal professionals who is not only seasoned 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)While motorcycles account for only 0.6% of all vehicle miles traveled, motorcyclists result in 14% of all traffic deaths and 17% of all occupant (driver and passenger) fatalities, (NHTSA, 2019) and while 20% of passenger car crashes result in an injury or loss of life, 80% of motorcycle accidents result in injury or loss of life. Also, motorcyclist fatalities were far more apt to take place in the city than in non-urban 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 encounter many of the same challenges as motorcyclists, but at reduced rates of speed. Bicycles usually aren't as noticeable as passenger cars and/or trucks, they aren't as secure on only two tires as a car or truck is on 4 tires, and a collision involving a bicycle has a extremely high percentage likelihood of contributing to bodily damage. 81% of pedestrian deaths in 2018 happened in metropolitan areas, and 40% of pedestrian deaths among someone 70+ in 2018 took place at intersections, as opposed to 22% for those younger than 70. (IIHS, 2019).If you were in an accident involving a bicycle, a walker, or a motorcycle you are going to need a seasoned personal injury lawyer. You need Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC.

Teenage and Inexperienced Driver Accidents

As you can potentially imagine, the more training somebody is getting when driving, the more self-assured they grow to be and the more effective driver they come to be. Sadly, Teen and brand new drivers must "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 speed and follow at unsafe distances than seasoned drivers. That same report revealed that Teens normally 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 percentage in speed-related fatal crashes (32% and 22%) in comparison to any other age-group in 2016, and that driving too fast was an issue 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 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than drivers aged 20 and older, and that motor vehicle crashes are the leading reason of death for US teens. Granted, no one begins as an outstanding driver; we all needed practice, and several of us are continuing to learn! But Teens who don't have experience are obviously more susceptible to getting into car or truck accidents. Irrespective of all of the statistics showing that teenage drivers can make a lot of poor judgments, the hard truth is that they are on the highway with us, and their conduct affects you and your loved ones.

Emergency Vehicle Accidents

Regrettably, people responding to car accidents are also subject to collisions of their own. In 2018, 168 people died in crashes connected with emergency vehicles. The the vast 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.

‍

Commercial Vehicle Accidents

There are also other vehicles that respond to the location of accidents; tow trucks for example. While you might possibly think about tow trucks as the people who show up to assist tidy up the consequences of a crash or assist an incapacitated car or truck, accidents involving tow trucks occur more often than you would envision, and can cause significant physical damage to vehicles, together with serious accidental injury to people. Like large over-the-road vehicles (semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.) tow trucks are massive, bulky, quite heavy and not very agile. Their size and lack of mobility contribute to the physical damage they can do, and when you add a towed-vehicle into the situation you increase the chances of accidents even further. Department of Transportation cars and trucks and other support vehicles (tow trucks, electric power company trucks, freeway repairs and maintenance trucks, etc.) are everywhere you go, and yet we normally do not notice them as much because we are so used to seeing them.

‍
