Distracted Driving Accidents

It is very hard to remain 100% focused on driving. Whether it's in-car distractions (your children, music, mobile phones, pets, etc.) or something outside your vehicle (the scenery, traffic, other vehicles, billboards, wildlife, etc.), diversions occur.Unfortunately, being distracted while driving a motor vehicle 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 take your attention away from the road is dangerous. In the North Long Beach, CA area there are plenty of distractions, and if one of them leads to you getting in a collision, you know who to call: Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC at (877) 278-6890.

Roll-Over Crashes

Rollovers usually occur due to the higher center of gravity in particular vehicles, primarily SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) and large trucks. Rollovers can occur when a driver turns the vehicle too quickly and the vehicle's center of gravity shifts suddenly. This shift might cause the tires to suffer a loss of physical contact with the road and the vehicle to flip. For obvious reasons, rollover accidents can be extraordinarily dangerous. A combined 7,488 passenger vehicle occupants were killed in rollover crashes in 2016. 28% of these did not include any other collision. (IIHS, 2018)As the level of popularity of sports utility vehicles increases, so does the proportion of SUV-related traffic collisions. Unfortunately, the death 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 of SUVs are such that they have a higher center of gravity than ordinary passenger cars and therefore are more susceptible to rollovers. Since the roof structure of most vehicles is not designed to support the body weight of the vehicle, the impact sustained in a rollover can crush the roof and cause massive and catastrophic injuries to the passengers inside the vehicle.Roll-over 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 kinds of side impact crashes: the "sideswipe" and the "T-bone."Sideswipes typically occur when two (or more) automobiles are traveling in the same direction and the driver's side of one of the vehicles comes in contact with the passenger side of the other vehicle. Sideswipes can cause significant damage to both vehicles, including structural issues and complications that cannot instantly be spotted but could render the vehicle quite unsafe. Other times the damage is so substantial that the car is not operational and could be a complete loss. Either way, our legal team will guide you through the process of dealing with the insurance providers and any liability situations that may arise.The other kind of side impact accident is the "T-bone" and can have much more life threatening results. T-bone collisions happen when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of the other vehicle (like a "T"). T-bone accidents are almost always much worse than sideswipes because the momentum in a sideswipe is more of a "glancing blow" while a T-bone transmits all of the energy and force from one vehicle into the side of the other vehicle. The effect of a T-bone accident often translates to considerable trauma to the occupants of both vehicles, and can often result in somebody's loss of life or permanent disability.

Head On Collisions

Thankfully, head on accidents make up only a slight percent of traffic collisions. Head-on accidents take place most frequently in rural locations than urban areas, making up 13 percent of all rural lethal crashes, while only comprising 7% of fatal crashes in urban areas. (NHTSA)Due to the nature of the majority of head-on accidents, EMTs and/or an ambulance is nearly always dispatched to the scene of the automobile accident, generating extensive health related charges along with the legal, property damage, and damage to the motor vehicles involved. As you can imagine, these types of car accidents can change the focus of one's daily lifestyle physically, emotionally, and financially. You need a supporter; someone who knows legal strategy and who will fight for you.

Interstate Vehicle Accidents

High speed collisions are frightening. Due to the laws of physics, the faster you (or the opposing vehicle) is moving, the more significant the possibility for the loss of vehicular control, damages, and/or personal injury when your vehicles collide. Even a little "bump" at high speed can contribute to a catastrophic consequence if it makes you lose control of your car or truck. The severity of auto accidents on the interstate - and their greater accompanying speeds - lead to more substantial crashes and consequently higher damage and claims. To recover the highest settlement if you are involved with a freeway (or any) accident in the North Long Beach, 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 appointment 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 trauma are often the direct result of interstate accidents. Once again, due to the significant speeds and physical forces involved, the damage to people and vehicles is frequently more significant than a "fender bender" on a residential street. The possible seriousness of interstate accidents goes up when you take into account all of the large trucks, commercial vehicles, semitrailers, and tractor-trailers that seem to command the highways. Due to their mass and lack of maneuverability, heavier vehicles can't stop as rapidly or make tight turns without the risk of rollover. This issue is compounded at the higher rates of highway traffic.Motorcycles are also an issue because they have the tendency to "open up" their throttles when they get on the interstate, and they can seemingly appear from nowhere.Despite whether it involves a truck, a motorcycle, or another passenger vehicle, freeway crashes are oftentimes devastating, and you need assistance if you are to recuperate from the physical, emotional, psychological, and financial consequences of your involvement.

Accidents Due to Weather Conditions

According to a 2019 study carried out by the Federal Highway Administration, about 21% of automotive vehicle crashes are weather-related.

• 70% of weather related accidents occur 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 accidents kill more individuals annually than large scale weather disasters.
