Accidents Involving Seniors

As outlined by a study 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 report from AAA (The Automobile Association of America) determined that per mile traveled, fatal crash rates rise starting at age 75 and increase dramatically after age 80. And while they came to the conclusion that this is mainly due to an elevated risk of personal injury and medical complications, not an increased risk of crashes, if they are behind the wheel of the other car you may be at a greater risk.

Ye, APLC for a free consultation and to go over your possible remedies.It is well known that as we grow older we begin to lose many of our capabilities. Our hearing can decrease, as can our eyesight, energy level, cognitive ability, and reflexes. The inability - or delayed ability - to react to a risk or high risk scenario can be the difference between avoiding an accident entirely or becoming part of the accident data. With the development of superior medical innovation and diet, people are living a lot longer and have more active life styles. Consequently, there are more older drivers on the road, and consequently there are more accidents that involve elderly 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 West Hills, CA area have been in an accident involving a senior citizen, or if you are a Senior driver and have been in an accident, contact Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free assessment and to look at your potential solutions.

Motorists all over the West Hills, CA area "fail to yield" on a day to day basis, resulting in countless accidents.

Failure to yield accidents also commonly occur at flashing red lights when a vehicle fails to come to a complete stop, blinking yellow lights, and when drivers assertively merge onto roads and/or when lanes merge.While failure to yield accidents are often more minor, they may result in property damage and personal injuries, which may lead to loss of earnings because of lost time at work and disability.

Texting behind the wheel of a moving vehicle is the worst conceivable thing you can do, and is not only hazardous, it is quite common. A 2019 Driver Knowledge study determined that 1 out of every 3 people text while driving, even though texting while driving will increase the risk of crashing a startling 23 times. And while 47 out of 50 states have banished texting while driving, it still happens, and it still creates accidents on a frequent basis.

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 are up against quite a few of the exact same problems as motorcyclists, but at decreased speeds. Bicycles usually are not as noticeable as cars and/or trucks, they aren't as steady on 2 tires as a car is on four wheels, and a traffic accident including a bike has a very high percentage likelihood of contributing to bodily trauma. 81% of pedestrian fatalities in 2018 happened in urban locations, and 40% of pedestrian fatalities involving people 70 and older in 2018 occurred at intersections, compared to 22% for those younger than Age 70.

Teenage and Inexperienced Driver Accidents

As you can potentially imagine, the more training someone may get when driving, the more confident they become and the more efficient driver they become. Unfortunately, Teen and inexperienced drivers have to "practice" on the roads with the rest of us, and they frequently have a lot to learn! A 2019 Texas A&M Transportation Institute study determined that Teens are more inclined to speed and tailgate than more mature drivers. That same report found that Teens don't consider driving at 5 to 10 mph above the speed limit to be hazardous.The NHTSA found that drivers ages 15-20 had the greatest representation in speed related fatalities (32% and 22%) when compared to any other age-group 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 almost three times more likely to be in a deadly crash than drivers aged 20+, and that motor vehicle crashes are the primary reason of death for US teenagers.Granted, no one begins as an excellent driver; the majority of us required practice, and a number of us are continuing to learn! But Teens who don't have practical experience are obviously more vulnerable to getting into car or truck crashes. Despite all of the studies showing that Teen drivers can make many bad decisions, the fact is that they are on the road with us, and their tendencies affect you and your loved ones.If you have been involved in a vehicle accident connected with a teenage or new/inexperienced driver, you need to connect with Law Offices of John C.

Commercial Vehicle Accidents

There are also other cars and trucks that respond to the location of traffic accidents; tow trucks for example. While you may well think of tow trucks as the guys who make an appearance to assist clear up the consequences of a vehicle accident or assist an disabled vehicle, accidents involving tow trucks occur more frequently than you would envision, and can cause significant damage to vehicles, not to mention severe personal injury to individuals. Like large over-the-road vehicles (semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.) tow trucks are massive, bulky, quite heavy and not very maneuverable. Their size and diminished mobility contribute to the physical damage they can do, and when you put a towed-vehicle into the mix you elevate the risk of accidents even further.Department of Transportation cars and trucks and other specialty vehicles (tow trucks, power company vehicles, road routine maintenance trucks, etc.) are everywhere, 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, mobile, and can present risks on the roads.You should call Law Offices of John C.
