Accidents Involving Seniors
According to an investigation 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 report from AAA (The Automobile Association of America) reported that per mile traveled, lethal crash rates increase starting out at age 75 and increase sharply after age 80. And while they determined that this is mainly due to an elevated risk of injury and medical problems, 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 Palmdale, 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 talk about your potential solutions.It is widely recognized that as we get older we begin to lose a lot of of our effectiveness. Our hearing can lessen, as can our eye-sight, energy level, cognitive ability, and reflexes. The inability - or slowed ability - to respond to a threat or unsafe scenario can be the difference between preventing an accident completely or becoming part of the accident studies. With the advancement of better medical technologies and nutrition, people are living a lot longer and have more active daily routines. Consequently, there are more older motorists 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 Palmdale, 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 go over your potential remedies.
Failure to Yield Accidents
Motorists all over the Palmdale, CA area "fail to yield" on a routine basis, resulting in many accidents. "Failure to yield" is precisely what it appears to be: someone fails to yield the right of way to someone else, bringing about an accident.Failure to yield accidents are quite common in Palmdale, CA and usually occur at intersections, with an inordinate amount of accidents resulting from illegal left-hand turns. Failure to yield accidents also quite often occur at blinking red lights when a car or truck fails to make a complete stop, flashing yellow lights, and when drivers vigorously merge onto roads and/or when lanes merge.Whereas failure to yield accidents are often more minor, they could still result in property damage and personal trauma, which may bring about 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 widespread. A 2019 Driver Knowledge study determined that 1 out of every 3 people text while driving, even though texting while driving elevates the possibility of crashing a startling 23 times. And while 47 out of 50 states have prohibited texting while driving, it still occurs, and it still creates accidents on a consistent 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 definitely need to contact us.

Motorcycle Accidents
In 2018, 8.02% of US households owned motorcycles. (Motorcycle Industry Council, 2019)Even though motorcycles account for only 0.6% of all vehicle miles traveled, motorcycle drivers account for 14% of all traffic fatalities and 17% of all occupant (driver and passenger) deaths, (NHTSA, 2019) and while 20% of passenger vehicle accidents bring about an injury or dying, 80% of motorcycle crashes account for injury or death. Also, motorcyclist fatalities were much more likely to happen in metropolitan than in outlying 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 experience many of the exact same situations as motorcyclists, but at decreased speeds. They aren't as noticeable as cars and/or trucks, they aren't as secure on 2 wheels as a car is on 4 tires, and an accident including a bicycle has a high percentage likelihood of leading to physical personal injury. 81% of pedestrian deaths in 2018 occurred in urban environments, and 40% of pedestrian deaths involving someone 70+ in 2018 occurred at intersections, in contrast to 22% for those younger than Age 70.

Teenage and Inexperienced Driver Accidents
As you can likely imagine, the more training a person is getting driving, the more comfortable and confident they become and the higher quality driver they develop into. Sadly, Teen and new drivers are forced 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 concluded that Teens are more inclined to violate the speed limit 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 hazardous.The NHTSA found that drivers ages 15-20 had the greatest percentage in speed related fatal accidents (32% and 22%) as opposed to any other age bracket in 2016, and that driving too fast was an issue in 31% of Teen driver fatalities. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) discovered that per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are nearly 3 x more likely to be involved in a life threatening crash than drivers aged 20 and older, and that car crashes are the leading reason of death for US teens.Granted, no one begins as a fantastic driver; the majority of us needed practice, and some of us are continuing to learn! But Teens who do not have practical experience are definitely more susceptible to getting into car crashes. In spite of all of the research demonstrating that teenage drivers can make a lot of inferior judgments, the reality is that they are on the highway with us, and their activity affects you and your loved ones.If you or someone you know has been involved with a car accident which involves a teen or new/unskilled driver, you need to call Law Offices of John C.

Emergency Vehicle Accidents
Regrettably, men and women responding to auto accidents are also exposed to accidents of their own. In 2018, 168 people died in accidents involving emergency vehicles. The the vast majority of these deaths were occupants of non-emergency vehicles (56%); deaths among pedestrians, emergency vehicle drivers, and emergency vehicle passengers each accounted for about 13% to 14% of the fatalities.

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 car accidents; tow trucks for example. While you might possibly think about tow trucks as the men and women who show up to help to tidy up the consequences of a crash or assist an incapacitated car or truck, accidents involving tow trucks occur more frequently than you would imagine, and can be the source of appreciable damage to vehicles, along with serious injury to people. Like large over-the-road vehicles (semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.) tow trucks are big, bulky, heavy and not very agile. Their size and decrease in mobility play a role in the damage they can do, and when you insert a towed-vehicle into the mix you increase the danger of accidents even further.Department of Transportation cars and trucks and other service provider vehicles (tow trucks, electric power company trucks, freeway maintenance vehicles, 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 large, on the move, and can present potential risks on the roads.You should call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC right now at (877) 278-6890 if you are involved with a collision with a commercial vehicle.
