Accidents Involving Seniors
As reported by research 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) found that per mile traveled, lethal crash rates rise starting at age 75 and increase sharply after age 80. And while they determined that this is mainly due to an elevated risk of personal injury and medical issues, not an increased risk of crashes, if they are behind the wheel of the other car you may be at a greater risk. If you or a family member in the Palms, 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 discuss your possible solutions.It is well recognized that as we get older we begin to lose a lot of of our effectiveness. Our hearing can decrease, as can our vision, energy level, cognitive ability, and response time. The failure - or slowed ability - to respond to a hazardous or dangerous circumstance can be the difference between avoiding an accident altogether or becoming part of the accident data. With the advent of enhanced medical technological innovation and nutrition, people are living longer and have more active life styles. Consequently, there are more older vehicle operators on the road, and consequently there are more accidents involving senior 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 Palms, 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 possible solutions.
Failure to Yield Accidents
Drivers all over the Palms, CA area "fail to yield" on a day to day basis, resulting in countless accidents. "Failure to yield" is exactly what it sounds like: someone fails to yield the right of way to someone else, contributing to an accident.Failure to yield accidents are quite common in Palms, CA and typically occur at intersections, with an inordinate number of accidents as a result of illegal left-hand turns. Failure to yield accidents also commonly occur at flashing red lights when a vehicle fails to come to a complete stop, flashing yellow lights, and when drivers aggressively merge onto roads and/or when lanes merge.Whereas failure to yield accidents are typically more minor, they can still result in property damage and personal injury, which may bring about loss of income because of lost time at work and disability. We have seen our share of failure to yield cases at Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC and have lots of experience litigating these cases. Allow us to work for you if you need an attorney who will fight for your rights to the fullest extent of the law. Call (877) 278-6890 today.
Driving While Texting Accidents
Texting behind the wheel of a moving vehicle is the worst imaginable thing you can do, and is not only risky, it is quite prevalent. A 2019 Driver Knowledge study determined that 1 out of every 3 people text while driving, even though texting while driving elevates 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 routine basis. If you or a loved one or family member have been in an accident while texting, or while the other driver was texting, you definitely need to contact us. Our reputation for taking care of Palms, CA area drivers is outstanding, and with the severe nature of this infraction you need a legal team who is not only savvy 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)While motorcycles account for only 0.6% of all vehicle miles traveled, motorcycle drivers make up 14% of all traffic fatalities and 17% of all occupant (driver and passenger) deaths, (NHTSA, 2019) and while 20% of passenger car accidents lead to an injury or loss of life, 80% of motorcycle crashes bring about injury or loss of life. Also, motorcyclist deaths were far more apt to happen in the city 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 same complications as motorcyclists, but at decreased speeds. They are usually not as obvious as cars and/or trucks, they aren't as stable on 2 wheels as a car is on four wheels, and a traffic accident including a bicycle has a very high percent likelihood of resulting in bodily damage. 81% of pedestrian deaths in 2018 occurred in metropolitan areas, and 40% of pedestrian deaths among men and women 70+ in 2018 occurred at intersections, compared to 22% for those younger than Age 70.

Teenage and Inexperienced Driver Accidents
As you can likely imagine, the more practice a person gets driving, the more comfortable and confident they become and the better driver they develop into. Regrettably, teenage and inexperienced drivers are forced to "practice" on the roads with the rest 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 violate the speed limit and tailgate than more mature drivers. That same report revealed 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 fatal crashes (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) determined that per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are almost 3 x more likely to be in a life threatening crash than drivers aged 20 and older, and that car accidents are the leading cause of death for US teenagers.Granted, no one begins as an outstanding driver; every one of us required practice, and a number of us are continuing to learn! But teenagers who don't have practical experience are obviously more vulnerable to getting into car or truck accidents. Despite all of the stats indicating that teenage drivers can make some mediocre choices, the fact is that they are on the highway with us, and their abilities affect you and your loved ones.If you or someone you know has been involved in a traffic accident which involves a teen or new/novice driver, you need to connect with Law Offices of John C.

Emergency Vehicle Accidents
Unfortunately, men and women responding to any sort of accident are also exposed to accidents of their own. In 2018, 168 people were killed in crashes involving emergency vehicles. The lions share of these deaths were occupants of non-emergency vehicles (56%); fatalities among pedestrians, emergency vehicle drivers, and emergency vehicle passengers each accounted for about 13% to 14% of the deaths. When first responders are trying to get some place quickly, crashes can occur. If you or a loved one were wounded in an accident involving an ambulance, police car, firetruck, or other emergency vehicle, our law firm, Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC can help you. 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 location of collisions; tow trucks for instance. While you might possibly think about tow trucks as the guys who make an appearance to help to clear up the aftermath of an accident or assist an incapacitated vehicle, accidents involving tow trucks occur more frequently than you would imagine, and can cause significant physical damage to vehicles, as well as severe accidental injury to individuals. Like large over-the-road trucks (semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.) tow trucks are big, bulky, heavy and not very maneuverable. Their size and diminished mobility contribute to the destruction they can do, and when you insert a towed-vehicle into the mix you elevate the risk of accidents even further.Department of Transportation vehicles and other support vehicles (tow trucks, electric power company trucks, road routine maintenance vehicles, etc.) are all around us, and yet we tend not to notice them as much because we are so comfortable with seeing them. The fact is, however, that they are big, on the move, and can represent dangers on the roads.You should call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC as soon as possible at (877) 278-6890 if you are involved in a collision with a business vehicle.
