Accidents Involving Seniors
According to a report 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 rise starting out at age 75 and increase dramatically after age 80. And while they determined that this is mainly due to an increased risk of injury and medical complications, not an increased risk of crashes, if they are driving the other car you may be at a increased risk. If you or a family member in the Irvine, 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.It is widely known that as we get older we begin to lose many of our skills. Our hearing can diminish, as can our vision, energy level, cognitive ability, and reactions. The failure - or slowed ability - to react to a threat or dangerous circumstance can be the difference between evading an accident altogether or becoming part of the accident studies. With the development of improved medical innovation and the proper nutrition, people are living for a longer time and have more active life styles. Subsequently, there are more senior motorists on the road, and consequently there are more accidents that involve 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 Irvine, 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 consultation and to discuss your potential remedies.
Failure to Yield Accidents
Drivers all over the Irvine, CA area "fail to yield" on a routine basis, resulting in quite a few accidents. "Failure to yield" is exactly what it sounds like: someone fails to yield the right of way to someone else, which results in an accident.Failure to yield accidents are quite common in Irvine, CA and routinely occur at intersections, with an inordinate amount of accidents resulting from left-hand turns. Failure to yield accidents also quite often 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 can still result in property damage and physical trauma, which may lead to loss of income because of lost time at work and disability. Our attorneys have seen our share of failure to yield cases at Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC and have loads of experience litigating these cases. Allow us to work for you if you need a legal professional 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 feasible thing you can do, and is not only dangerous, it is quite prevalent. A 2019 Driver Knowledge study determined that 1 out of every 3 people text while driving, even though texting while driving enhances the possibility of crashing a startling 23 times. And while 47 out of 50 states have banished texting while driving, it still happens, and it still generates accidents on a consistent 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 reputation for assisting Irvine, CA area drivers is phenomenal, and with the serious nature of this violation you need a legal team who is not only accomplished 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, riders result in 14% of all traffic deaths and 17% of all occupant (driver and passenger) fatalities, (NHTSA, 2019) and while 20% of passenger car accidents lead to an injury or dying, 80% of motorcycle crashes bring about personal injury or death. Also, motorcyclist fatalities were more apt to occur 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 several of the exact same issues as motorcyclists, but at decreased rates of speed. Cyclists may not be as visible as passenger cars and/or trucks, they aren't as steady on only two tires as a car is on 4 wheels, and a crash involving a bicycle has a very high percent likelihood of leading to physical injuries. 81% of pedestrian fatalities in 2018 took place in urban areas, and 40% of pedestrian deaths involving individuals 70 and older in 2018 happened at intersections, in comparison to 22% for those younger than 70. (IIHS, 2019).If you were in an accident involving a bike, a jogger, or a motorcycle you are going to need a competent lawyer. You need Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC.

Teenage and Inexperienced Driver Accidents
As you can likely imagine, the more training an individual gets behind the wheel, the more assured they become and the higher quality driver they become. Unfortunately, Teen and brand new drivers have to "practice" on the roads with the rest of us, and they typically have a lot to learn. A 2019 Texas A&M Transportation Institute study determined that Teens are much more likely to speed and tailgate 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 highest percentage in speed related fatalities (32% and 22%) compared to any other age group in 2016, and that driving too fast was a consideration in 31% of Teen driver deaths. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) determined that per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are practically 3 x more likely to be involved in a life threatening accident than drivers aged 20 and older, and that motor vehicle accidents are the primary reason of death for US teenagers.Granted, no one starts off as a good driver; every one of us required practice, and a number of us are continuing to learn! But Teens who don't have experience are clearly more susceptible to getting into car accidents. Irrespective of all of the data showing that teenage drivers can make some inferior choices, the fact is that they are on the highway with us, and their conduct affects you and your loved ones.If you or someone you know has been involved in a car accident which involves a teen or new/novice driver, you need to get in touch with Law Offices of John C.

Emergency Vehicle Accidents
Regrettably, men and women responding to crashes are also subject to collisions of their own. In 2018, 168 people were killed in accidents involving emergency vehicles. The majority of these fatalities were occupants of non-emergency vehicles (56%); fatalities among pedestrians, emergency vehicle drivers, and emergency vehicle passengers each accounted for about 13% to 14% of the deaths. When most people are trying to get somewhere very quickly, crashes can occur. If you or a loved one were hurt 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 cars and trucks that respond to the scene of traffic accidents; tow trucks for example. While you might possibly think of tow trucks as the people who make an appearance to help to clear up the aftermath of an accident or assist an disabled car or truck, accidents involving tow trucks occur more frequently than you would expect, and can cause appreciable physical damage to vehicles, together with severe personal injury to people. Like large over-the-road trucks (semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.) tow trucks are large, bulky, heavy and not very maneuverable. Their size and lack of mobility contribute to the destruction they can do, and when you put a towed-vehicle into the mix you elevate the risk of accidents even further.Department of Transportation vehicles and other service provider vehicles (tow trucks, power company vehicles, road maintenance vehicles, etc.) are all over the place, and yet we usually do not notice them as much because we are so comfortable with seeing them. The fact is, however, that they are heavy, on the move, and can represent potential issues on the roadways.You should call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC immediately at (877) 278-6890 if you are involved in a vehicle accident with a commercial vehicle.
