Accidents Involving Seniors
According to a report done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2017, 18% of all traffic fatalities in 2016 were among people 65 years of age and older. A 2019 study from AAA (The Automobile Association of America) reported that per mile traveled, deadly crash rates escalate beginning at age 75 and go up dramatically after age 80. And while they came to the conclusion that this is primarily due to an heightened risk of injury and medical problems, not an increased risk of crashes, if they are behind the wheel of the other car you may be at a increased risk. If you or a family member in the Crestline, 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 look at your potential solutions.It is well recognized that as we grow old we begin to lose many of our skills. Our hearing can diminish, as can our eye-sight, energy level, cognitive ability, and reactions. The failure - or delayed ability - to respond to a risk or high risk situation can be the difference between avoiding an accident entirely or becoming part of the accident statistics. With the advancement of improved medical technology and the proper nutrition, people are living for a longer time and have more active daily routines. Subsequently, there are more elderly motorists on the road, and subsequently 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 Crestline, 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 go over your possible remedies.
Failure to Yield Accidents
People all over the Crestline, CA area "fail to yield" on a consistent basis, resulting in many accidents. "Failure to yield" is exactly what it sounds like: someone fails to yield the right of way to someone else, bringing about an accident.Failure to yield accidents are quite common in Crestline, CA and usually occur at intersections, with an inordinate quantity of accidents as a result of illegal left-hand turns. Failure to yield accidents also commonly occur at flashing red lights when a car or truck fails to make 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 could still result in property damage and personal trauma, which may lead to loss of revenue because of lost time at work and disability.

Texting While Driving Accidents
Texting behind the wheel of a moving vehicle is the worst potential 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 enhances the possibility of crashing a startling 23 times. And while 47 out of 50 states have banned texting while driving, it still happens, and it still causes accidents on a routine basis. If you or a loved one or family member have been in any sort of accident while texting, or while the other driver was texting, you most definitely need to contact us. Our reputation for assisting Crestline, CA area drivers is phenomenal, and with the severe nature of this violation you need an advocate who is not only proficient 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)Even though motorcycles make up only 0.6% of all vehicle miles traveled, motorcyclists result in 14% of all traffic deaths and 17% of all occupant (driver and passenger) deaths, (NHTSA, 2019) and while 20% of passenger vehicle accidents result in injury or loss of life, 80% of motorcycle accidents account for personal injury or death. Also, motorcyclist deaths were far more likely to take place in urban than in rural 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.Cyclists are up against several of the exact same situations as motorcyclists, but at decreased speeds. Cyclists usually aren't as noticeable as passenger cars and/or trucks, they aren't as secure on two tires as a car or truck is on 4 wheels, and an accident involving a bike has a extremely high percent probability of bringing about physical trauma. 81% of pedestrian fatalities in 2018 happened in metropolitan areas, and 40% of pedestrian fatalities among people 70 and older in 2018 took place at intersections, compared to 22% for those younger than Age 70. (IIHS, 2019).If you were in an accident involving a bicycle, a jogger, or a motorcycle you are going to require a skillful legal representative. You need Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC.

Teenage and Inexperienced Driver Accidents
As you can likely imagine, the more training anyone may get driving, the more assured they become and the higher quality driver they end up. Unfortunately, Teen and new drivers are forced to "practice" on the road with the rest of us, and they often have a lot to learn. A 2019 Texas A&M Transportation Institute study concluded that Teens are more inclined to speed and follow at unsafe distances than seasoned drivers. That same report revealed that Teens do not consider driving at 5 to 10 mph above the speed limit to be hazardous.The NHTSA found that drivers ages 15-20 had the highest representation in speed-related fatalities (32% and 22%) as opposed to any other age-group in 2016, and that driving too fast was a component 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 auto accident than drivers aged 20+, and that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of loss of life for US teenagers.Granted, no one starts off as an excellent driver; all of us required practice, and many of us are still learning! But teenagers who are lacking experience are definitely more inclined to getting into car accidents. Despite all of the stats demonstrating that teenage drivers can make many inferior choices, the fact is that they are on the highway with us, and their tendencies affect you and your loved ones.If you or someone you know has been involved in a traffic accident involving a teenage or new/novice driver, you need to get in touch with Law Offices of John C.

Emergency Vehicle Accidents
Unfortunately, people responding to crashes are also exposed to accidents of their own. In 2018, 168 people died in crashes involving emergency vehicles. The lions share of these fatalities were occupants of non-emergency vehicles (56%); fatalities among pedestrians, emergency vehicle drivers, and emergency vehicle passengers each amounted to about 13% to 14% of the deaths.

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 instance. While you might possibly think about tow trucks as the people who make an appearance to help clear up the consequences of an auto accident or assist an incapacitated car or truck, accidents involving tow trucks occur more often than you would expect, and can cause appreciable physical damage to vehicles, together with severe accidental injury to people. Like large over-the-road trucks (semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.) tow trucks are big, bulky, quite heavy and not very agile. Their size and diminished mobility contribute to the physical damage they can do, and when you insert a towed-vehicle into the mix you increase the chances of accidents even further.Department of Transportation cars and trucks and other service vehicles (tow trucks, power company trucks, highway maintenance vehicles, etc.) are all around us, 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 big, mobile, and can present risks on the roadways.You should call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC right now at (877) 278-6890 if you are involved in an accident with a commercial vehicle.
