Accidents Involving Seniors
As outlined by research 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) reported that per mile traveled, deadly crash rates escalate starting out at age 75 and rise dramatically after age 80. And while they came to the conclusion that this is largely due to an heightened 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 Oak Hills, 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 talk about your potential solutions.It is well-known that as we age we begin to lose many of our skills. Our hearing can diminish, as can our eye-sight, energy level, cognitive ability, and reactions. The inability - or slowed ability - to respond to a threat or dangerous situation can be the difference between steering clear of an accident altogether or becoming part of the accident studies. With the advancement of better medical technologies and the proper nutrition, people are living a lot longer and have more active lifestyles. As a result, there are more elderly drivers on the road, and subsequently there are more accidents involving older drivers. According to Consumer Reports, in 2017 over 3.5 million Americans age 85+ held a driver's license. If you or a family member in the Oak Hills, 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 go over your possible remedies.

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 prohibited texting while driving, it still happens, and it still results in accidents on a regular 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 endure quite a few of the exact same problems as motorcyclists, but at decreased rates of speed. Bicyclists usually are not as obvious as passenger cars and/or trucks, they aren't as secure on two tires as a car is on 4 wheels, and a collision including a bicycle has a extremely high percentage likelihood of bringing about physical personal injury. 81% of pedestrian deaths in 2018 took place in metropolitan environments, and 40% of pedestrian deaths involving individuals 70+ in 2018 occurred at intersections, compared to 22% for those younger than 70.

Teenage and Inexperienced Driver Accidents
As you can likely imagine, the more practice a person gets when driving, the more self-confident they become and the more effective driver they grow to be. Unfortunately, teenage and brand new drivers are expected to "practice" on the road with the remainder of us, and they typically 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 older drivers. That same report revealed 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 highest percentage in speed related fatal accidents (32% and 22%) compared to any other age group in 2016, and that speeding was a consideration in 31% of Teen driver fatalities. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) found that per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are practically three times more likely to be in a deadly auto accident than drivers aged 20 and older, and that car accidents are the primary reason of loss of life for US teenagers.Granted, no one begins as an outstanding driver; all of us required practice, and some of us are continuing to learn! But teenagers who do not have experience are definitely more prone to getting into car crashes. Despite all of the research showing that Teen drivers can make a lot of mediocre choices, the hard truth is that they are driving on the road with us, and their performance affects you and your loved ones.If you or someone you know has been involved with a vehicle accident which involves a teenage or new/unskilled driver, you need to connect with Law Offices of John C.

Commercial Vehicle Accidents
There are also other vehicles that respond to the location of collisions; tow trucks for instance. While you might think about tow trucks as the guys who make an appearance to help to clean up the aftermath of an auto accident or assist an incapacitated vehicle, accidents involving tow trucks occur more frequently than you would anticipate, and can cause appreciable damage to vehicles, together with severe injuries to individuals. Like large over-the-road vehicles (semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.) tow trucks are big, bulky, quite heavy and not very maneuverable. Their size and diminished mobility play a role in the damage they can do, and when you add a towed-vehicle into the situation you increase the danger of accidents even further.Department of Transportation cars and trucks and other support vehicles (tow trucks, power company trucks, highway routine maintenance vehicles, etc.) are all over the place, and yet we usually do not notice them as much because we are so acquainted with seeing them. The fact is, however, that they are heavy, on the move, and can present potential risks on the roadways.You should call Law Offices of John C.
