Accidents Involving Seniors
As mentioned in a report done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2017, 18% of all traffic deaths in 2016 were among 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 increase starting out at age 75 and go up dramatically after age 80. And while they determined that this is primarily 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 higher risk. If you or a family member in the Simi Valley, 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 discuss your possible remedies.It is widely recognized that as we grow older we begin to lose many of our skills. Our hearing can lessen, as can our visual acuity, energy level, cognitive ability, and reflexes. The failure - or delayed ability - to react to a hazardous or high risk scenario can be the difference between avoiding an accident entirely or becoming part of the accident statistics. With the development of better medical technological advances and diet, people are living longer and have more active life styles. Subsequently, there are more elderly motorists on the road, and thereby there are more accidents involving older 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 Simi Valley, 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 appointment and to discuss your possible solutions.
Failure to Yield Accidents
Drivers all over the Simi Valley, CA area "fail to yield" on a routine basis, resulting in quite a few accidents.

Driving While Texting Accidents
Texting behind the wheel of a moving vehicle 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 banished texting while driving, it still occurs, and it still results in accidents on a regular basis.

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 deal with several of the exact same complications as motorcyclists, but at decreased speeds. Bicycles usually are not as obvious as passenger cars and/or trucks, they aren't as steady on only two wheels as a car or truck is on 4 wheels, and any sort of accident including a bicycle has a high percentage probability of contributing to physical personal injury. 81% of pedestrian fatalities in 2018 took place in urban locations, and 40% of pedestrian deaths among men and women 70+ in 2018 happened at intersections, in contrast to 22% for those younger than Age 70.

Teenage and Inexperienced Driver Accidents
As you can most likely imagine, the more training someone may get when driving, the more confident they grow to be and the more efficient driver they end up. Sadly, Teen and new drivers are expected to "practice" on the roads with the remainder 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 follow at closer distances than experienced drivers. That same report found that Teens 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 representation in speed-related fatal accidents (32% and 22%) in comparison to any other age bracket in 2016, and that speeding was a component in 31% of Teen driver deaths. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) discovered that per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are nearly three times more likely to be involved in a life threatening auto crash than drivers aged 20+, and that car accidents are the primary reason of death for US teenagers.Granted, no one starts as a fantastic driver; every one of us needed practice, and a number of us are continuing to learn! But teenagers who lack experience are obviously more inclined to getting into car accidents. Irrespective of all of the studies showing that Teen drivers can make some inferior decisions, the hard truth is that they are on the road with us, and their tendencies affect you and your loved ones.If you or someone you know has been associated with a car accident involving a teen or new/unskilled driver, you need to contact Law Offices of John C.

Commercial Vehicle Accidents
There are also other cars and trucks that respond to the location of accidents; tow trucks for example. While you may well think about tow trucks as the people who show up to assist clean up the consequences of a crash or assist an incapacitated vehicle, accidents involving tow trucks occur more frequently than you would imagine, and can cause considerable physical damage to vehicles, together with severe injury to individuals. Like large over-the-road trucks (semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.) tow trucks are big, bulky, heavy and not very agile.
