Distracted Driving Accidents
It is extremely tough to remain 100% focused on driving. Whether it's in-car disruptions (young children, music, cellular phones, dogs and cats, etc.) or something outside your vehicle (the view, automobile traffic, other vehicles, billboards, wildlife, etc.), diversions occur.Regrettably, being distracted while driving is one of the most dangerous things you can do. The most frequent (62%) cause of distracted driving crashes is being lost in thought or letting your mind wander. (TeenSafe, 2018)Anything that can draw your eyes away from the road is dangerous. In the Hawaiian Gardens, CA area there are plenty of distractions, and if one of them leads to you getting in a car accident, you know who to call: Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC at (877) 278-6890.
Roll Over Incidents
Rollovers typically occur due to the higher center of gravity in certain vehicles, primarily SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) and large trucks. Rollovers can occur when a driver turns the vehicle too sharply or quickly and the vehicle's center of gravity suddenly shifts. This shift might cause the tires to suffer a loss of contact with the ground and the vehicle to flip over. For obvious reasons, rollover accidents can be exceptionally harmful. A combined 7,488 passenger vehicle occupants were killed in rollover accidents in 2016. 28% of these didn't involve any other collision. (IIHS, 2018)As the popularity of SUVs increases, so does the percentage of SUV-related traffic accidents. Unfortunately, the fatality rates involving SUVs is much higher than that of other vehicles. According to a 2019 IIHS study, 42% of SUV occupant deaths occurred in rollovers while only 20% of passenger deaths in non-SUV cars occurred in rollovers. The IIHS 2018 study says that while car occupant deaths have declined 46% since 1975, SUV occupant deaths have risen ten-fold.The physical design and style of SUVs are such that they have a higher center of gravity than ordinary passenger cars and therefore are more vulnerable to rollovers. Since the roof structure of most vehicles is not designed to support the weight of the vehicle, the damage sustained in a rollover can crush the roof and cause massive and catastrophic injuries to the passengers inside the vehicle.Rollover accidents are also commonplace with large trucks and trucks with trailers (semis). The same 2019 IIHS study notes that in 2018 45% of large truck occupant deaths occurred in rollovers
Side Impact Collisions
There are two varieties of side impact crashes: the "sideswipe" and the "T-bone."Sideswipes typically occur when 2 (or more) automobiles are moving in the same direction and the driver's side of one of the vehicles collides with the passenger side of the other vehicle. Sideswipes can cause substantial damage to both vehicles, including structural problems and complications that cannot instantly be viewed but could render the car or truck quite unsafe. Other times the damage is so significant that the car or truck is not operational and could be a complete loss. In either event, our legal team will guide you through the process of dealing with the insurance providers and any liability challenges that may arise.The other form of side impact accident is the "T-bone" and can have much more dangerous results. T-bone collisions take place when the front of one vehicle hits the side of the other vehicle (like a "T"). T-bone accidents are almost always more serious than sideswipes because the energy in a sideswipe is more of a "glancing blow" whereas a T-bone transfers all of the power and momentum from one vehicle into the side of the other vehicle. The power of a T-bone collision often brings about drastic injuries to the passengers of both vehicles, and can often result in somebody's loss of life or permanent disability. If you or someone you love have been the victim of any type of car accident, we want to talk to you. Our legal experts will help you ascertain if there are legal and financial remedies available to you for your pain and suffering. Call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC at (877) 278-6890 for a free, no obligation consultation.
Head On Accidents
Thankfully, head on crashes make up only a slight percent of driving collisions. Head-on crashes occur far more frequently in remote areas than urban areas, making up 13% of all non-urban lethal crashes, while only comprising 7% of deadly crashes in metropolitan areas. (NHTSA)Due to the intensity of the majority of head-on crashes, EMTs and/or an ambulance is nearly always dispatched to the scene of the automobile accident, bringing about considerable healthcare bills in conjunction with the legal, property damage, and damage to the vehicles involved. As you can imagine, these types of catastrophes can transform the focus of one's daily life physically, psychologically, and economically. You need an advocate; someone who knows legal strategy and who will battle for you. If you are part of a head-on collision - or any car accident for that matter - you need to call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC at (877) 278-6890 for a no-cost consultation.

Freeway Traffic Accidents
High-speed crashes are terrifying. Because of the laws of physics, the more quickly you (or the opposing vehicle) is traveling, the more substantial the chance for loss of vehicular control, damages, and/or personal trauma when your vehicles collide. Even a slight "bump" at high speed can lead to a devastating result if it makes you lose control of your vehicle. The degree of accidents on the freeway - and their higher than average speeds - lead to more major accidents and consequently more extensive damage and insurance claims. To recover the highest settlement if you are involved with an interstate (or any) accident in the Hawaiian Gardens, CA area, you should call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC. We can be reached by calling (877) 278-6890 or by going to our "Contact" page. Your initial discussion is free of charge and carries no obligation, and you won't pay us anything unless we win your case and you receive a settlement.Fatalities and life threatening injuries are often the outcome of freeway accidents. Once again, due to the higher speeds and actual physical forces involved, the harm to people and vehicles is generally greater than a "fender bender" on a residential street. The potential extent of highway accidents multiplies when you take into account all of the large commercial transport trucks, commercial vehicles, 18 wheelers, and tractor-trailers that seem to take over the highways. Due to their bulk and lack of maneuverability, larger vehicles cannot stop as easily or make tight turns without the risk of rollover. This issue is compounded at the more substantial rates of interstate traffic.Motorcycles are also a problem because they be inclined to "open up" their throttles when they get on the freeway, and they can seemingly appear from thin air.Regardless of whether it involves a truck, a motorcycle, or another passenger vehicle, freeway traffic accidents are usually disastrous, and you need assistance if you are to recover from the physical, psychological, emotional, and financial side effects of your involvement. Contact us today at (877) 278-6890.
Accidents Due to Weather Conditions
According to a 2019 study performed by the Federal Highway Administration, about 21% of motor vehicle crashes are weather-related.
- 70% of weather-related crashes happen on wet pavement
- 46% during rainfall
- 18% during snow or sleet
- 16% on snowy or slushy pavement
- 13% on icy pavement
- 3% in fog
The Weather Channel reported in 2018 that weather related automobile traffic accidents kill more people annually than large-scale weather disasters.

Unquestionably a contributing variable is that it takes 10 times longer to stop on snow and ice than it does on dry pavement (GEICO Insurance, 2018).
