Liability for Accidents Caused While Lane Splitting. Liability for accidents caused when a motorcyclist is lane splitting depends a great deal on whether or not lane splitting is illegal in that state. Most states prohibit lane splitting but the laws of each state vary on the specific practices that are illegal. Only California allows lane splitting.
Paleolithic skeletons indicated a life expectancy of 35.4 years for men and 30.0 years for women, which includes a high rate of infant mortality. This is consistent with data from the Inuit that I posted a while back (life expectancy excluding infant mortality = 43.5 years). With modest fluctuations, the life expectancy of humans in this Mediterranean region remained similar from paleolithic times until the last century.
Living longer and quality of life. Although Canadians are living longer, with a life expectancy of 81.7 years and a most common age at death of 85 years, the ability of many adults to perform key health functions, that is, their functional health declines as they age. similar result can be seen for 90-year-olds. In 1921, life expectancy at age 90 was 3.4 years. By 2011, a 90-year-old could expect to live another 5.3 years, a gain of 1.9 years during the 90 year reference period (Chart 1).
