3 Ottawa bicycle accidents results in head injury, lacerations and other serious personal injury.
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…Ottawa cyclists were out on the roads yesterday but sadly, many of their commutes were not safe. Ottawa Paramedics responded to 3 separate Ottawa bicycle accidents in a span of 41 minutes yesterday morning:
-Ottawa paramedics helped a 42-year-old man with scrapes and an injury to his collar-bone after he was hit at Baseline Road and Farlane Boulevard in Ottawa’s east end.
-A 30-year-old man was hit on Prince of Wales Drive near Waterford Drive in Ottawa’s south end. When Ottawa paramedics arrived at the Ottawa accident scene, he was unconscious and was treated for a head injury. He was taken to an Ottawa hospital in serious but stable condition.
-A 25-year-old man was hit while cycling at the intersection of Hunt Club Road and Bank Street in Ottawa’s south end. He suffered an arm injury and lacerations to his knee. He was taken to an Ottawa hospital in stable condition.
These recent Ottawa bicycle accidents bring the issue of Ottawa’ s cycling safety to the forefront. There are far too many cycling accidents and deaths each year in Ottawa. Most of these accidents are avoidable. Both cyclists and drivers need to be aware of their surroundings and respect the rules of the road. We can’t continue to have these, or even worse cycling accidents in Ottawa.

Ottawa child accident results in possible spinal cord injury. Ottawa lawyer David Hollingsworth
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…A young Ottawa boy was brought to Ottawa’s CHEO hospital yesterday morning after a minivan hit him, just east of Ottawa’s downtown core. The young boy is 9 years old and was walking near the intersection of Queen Mary and McNaughton streets at approximately 7:30 a.m. in the Overbrook neigbhourhood when he was hit in the accident. He suffered injuries to his face, as he rolled on the hood of the vehicle and then fell to the ground. Ottawa paramedics put him on a spinal board and brought to CHEO in stable condition. I hope this young boy is ok and can recover from this accident, which could have had a very different outcome.

Ottawa motorcycle accident: Funeral for Mike Jefferies and serious personal injury for Sandra Jefferies.
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…update: 100s are expected to gather for a memorial service at the Biker’s Church to share wonderful stories about avid biker Mike Jefferies. His son Barry had once said he would never ride a motorcycle again but is doing what his heart tells him and that’s what his dad would have told him. Get back on the bike, and he is, in honour of his beloved father. A motorcycle procession is planned for tomorrow ( Saturday) in tribute to Mike Jefferies before his funeral.
Sadly, 54-year-old Mike Jeffries yesterday afternoon doing what he loved to do: riding his motorcycle. Mike Jefferies died after an accident on St. Laurent Boulevard, north of the Queensway shortly after 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Ottawa paramedics found him in cardiac arrest at the Ottawa motorcycle accident scene.
An off-duty paramedic, who happened to be nearby when the accident took place, managed to revive Jefferies using cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at the scene. He later died in hospital.
Mike Jefferies’ pastor spoke highly of him as described him as generous and thoughtful. He also said they would remember Mike at a service on Thursday. Jefferies’ wife, 53-year-old Sandra Jefferies, was also on the motorcycle at the time of the Ottawa motorcycle accident. She was taken to an hospital in serious condition but was expected to be released. Ottawa police were investigating but had not made any arrests as of Saturday at about 10 p.m. Jefferies had one son, Barry, who is in his 20s. My thoughts go out to the friends and family of Mike Jeffries and I wish his wife a full recovery…..

Ottawa Bicycle Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth on Ottawa cycling safety.
Ottawa Bicycle Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth.. I recently found a great website : Citizens for Safe Cycling . It’s a website dedicated to Ottawa cyclists. It is filled with all sorts of information that relate to Ottawa bicycle safety, events for Ottawa cyclists and Ottawa cycling news and projects. One of the articles on the site dealt with cyclists getting “doored”. The following are tips I found on this site for both Ottawa drivers and Ottawa cyclists on avoiding a cycling accident.
Ottawa Cyclists:
One of the safest ways to avoid an accident is to ride your bicycle at least one metre away from other vehicles. That is the best way to prevent getting injured by having a door open in your face. A car door can spring open in a second. If a cyclist is passing by at that very moment, it’s almost impossible avoiding being hit by the door, resulting in you. This type of bicycle accident is far to common in Ottawa and a major cause of downtown cycling accidents. These cycling accidents can be avoided.
Ottawa drivers and Ottawa cycling accidents:
Everyone is responsible on the road. As a driver, you are responsible for checking for oncoming traffic. This includes cyclists. They are much smaller than a car and therefore harder to see; however, before opening your car door, you must thoroughly check for any oncoming traffic. If you fail to do so and it results in an accident, you will be charged under section 165 of the Highway Traffic Act.
Ottawa cyclists and Ottawa cycling accidents:
The best way to avoid a cycling accident is to remain out of the door zone which about one metre away from a car. Also cyclist should avoid passing on the right if there’s not enough space to pass. Cyclist should always use extra space in the lane in order to stay away from the cars, even if it means that you hold up traffic or force them to pass you outside of the lane. If you need to move left to do this, remember to always signal and shoulder check first.
It’s practically impossible for cyclists to see ahead of time whether a vehicle door is going to open. Tinted windows and high headrests make it extremely difficult to see from behind if a car is occupied, and a door could fly open at any given moment.
Cycling is such a great activity and means of transportation around Ottawa. Let’s all work to gether to reduce the number of Ottawa cycling accidents and deaths related to cycling accidents this spring and summer. Happy and safe cycling Ottawa !
