Distracted Driving Accidents

It is extremely difficult to remain 100% focused on driving. Whether it's in-car disruptions (your children, music, mobile phones, cats and dogs, etc.) or something outside your vehicle (the scenery, automobile traffic, other vehicles, billboards, wildlife, etc.), distractions occur.Unfortunately, being distracted while behind the wheel is one of the most dangerous things you can do. The most frequent (62%) cause of distracted driving crashes is being lost in thought or letting your mind wander. (TeenSafe, 2018)Anything that can draw your focus away from the road is dangerous. In the Lancaster, CA area there are plenty of distractions, and if one of them leads to you getting in any sort of accident, you know who to call: Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC at (877) 278-6890.

Rollover Crashes

Rollovers generally occur because of the higher center of gravity in certain vehicles, primarily SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) and large trucks. Rollovers can occur when a driver turns the vehicle too quickly or sharply and the vehicle's center of gravity shifts suddenly. This shift often causes the tires to be deprived of contact with the ground and the vehicle to flip over. For obvious reasons, rollover accidents can be extraordinarily harmful. A total of 7,488 passenger vehicle occupants were killed in rollover accidents in 2016. 28% of these did not involve any other impact. (IIHS, 2018)As the acceptance of SUVs increases, so does the percentage of SUV-related traffic accidents. Unfortunately, the fatality rates involving SUVs is much higher than that of other vehicles. According to a 2019 IIHS study, 42% of SUV occupant deaths occurred in rollovers while only 20% of occupant deaths in non-SUV cars occurred in rollovers. The IIHS 2018 study says that while car occupant deaths have dropped 46% since 1975, SUV occupant deaths have risen ten-fold.The physical construction of SUVs are such that they have a higher center of gravity than normal passenger cars and therefore are more susceptible to rollovers. Since the roofing system of most vehicles is not designed to support the body weight of the vehicle, the impact sustained in a rollover can crush the roof and cause massive and catastrophic injuries to the passengers inside the vehicle.Roll over accidents are also prevalent with large trucks and trucks with trailers (semis). The same 2019 IIHS study notes that in 2018 45% of large truck occupant deaths occurred in rollovers

Side Impact Collisions

There are two types of side impact collisions: the "sideswipe" and the "T-bone."Sideswipes typically occur when two (or more) cars or trucks are traveling in the same direction and the driver's side of one of the vehicles collides with the passenger side of the other vehicle. Sideswipes can cause considerable damage to both vehicles, including structural issues and complications that cannot instantly be spotted but could make the car or truck unsafe. Other times the damage is so extensive that the car or truck is not drivable and could be a complete loss. Either way, our law firm will guide you through the process of dealing with the insurance underwriters and any legal situations that may arise.The other form of side impact collision is the "T-bone" and can have much more deadly results. T-bone collisions come about when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of the other vehicle (like a "T"). T-bone traffic accidents are almost always more dangerous than sideswipes because the momentum in a sideswipe is more of a "glancing blow" whereas a T-bone transmits all of the energy and force from one vehicle into the side of the other vehicle. The power of a T-bone accident often results in considerable injuries to the occupants of both vehicles, and can often result in someone's death or permanent disability. If you or someone you care about have been the victim of any type of vehicle accident, we want to talk to you. Our legal experts will help you figure out if there are legal and monetary remedies available to you for your pain and suffering. Call Law Offices of John C.

Head On Accidents

Thankfully, head-on crashes make up only a small percentage of automobile crashes. Head-on collisions happen far more frequently in remote areas than urban areas, accounting for 13% of all non-urban fatal collisions, while only comprising 7% of fatal collisions in urban areas. (NHTSA)Due to the severity of a large number of head-on accidents, an ambulance and/or EMTs are almost always dispatched to the location of the auto accident, generating considerable medical-related fees not to mention the liability, property damage, and damage to the vehicles involved. Essentially, these types of traffic accidents can change the focus of one's life time physically, emotionally, and economically. You need a proponent; someone who understands legal process and who will fight for you and your loved ones. If you are involved with a head-on collision - or any auto accident for that matter - you will want to call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC at (877) 278-6890 for a no-cost consultation.

Freeway Auto Accidents

High speed crashes are horrifying. As a result of the laws of physics, the faster you (or the opposing car) is going, the greater the possibility for the loss of vehicle control, damages, and/or physical trauma when your vehicles collide. Even a little "tap" at high speed can give rise to a devastating result if it triggers you to lose control of your vehicle. The seriousness of crashes on the highway - and their significantly greater associated speeds - lead to more severe accidents and therefore more substantial damage and insurance claims. To recover the highest settlement if you are associated with an interstate (or any) accident in the Lancaster, CA area, you should call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC. We can be reached by calling (877) 278-6890 or by going to our "Contact" page. Your initial discussion is free and carries no obligation, and you won't pay us anything unless we win your case and you receive a settlement.Fatalities and life-threatening injuries are often the direct result of highway accidents. Once again, due to the high speeds and natural forces involved, the harm to people and vehicles is typically more significant than a "fender bender" on a residential street. The potential intensity of interstate accidents goes up when you take into account all of the large commercial transport trucks, commercial vehicles, semis, and tractor-trailers that seem to command the highways. Due to their mass and lack of maneuverability, bigger trucks can't stop as quickly or make tight turns without risking rollover. This condition is compounded at the more substantial speeds of interstate traffic.Motorcycles are also a challenge because they very often will "open up" their throttles when they get on the interstate, and they can seemingly appear from nowhere.No matter whether it involves a truck, a motorcycle, or another passenger vehicle, freeway catastrophes are frequently catastrophic, and you need support if you are to recuperate from the physical, emotional, financial, and psychological consequences of your involvement.

Accidents Due to Weather Conditions

According to a 2019 report conducted by the Federal Highway Administration, about 21% of motor vehicle accidents are weather-related.

• 70% of weather-related crashes happen on wet pavement
• 46% during rainfall
• 18% during snow or sleet
• 16% on snowy or slushy pavement
• 13% on icy pavement
• 3% in fog

The Weather Channel reported in 2018 that weather related vehicle traffic accidents kill more individuals every year than large scale weather disasters.
