Ottawa cyclists deserve cycling safety, Ottawa personal injury lawyer David Hollingsworth
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Car Accidents, Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Ottawa Resources on September 1st, 2010
Ottawa bicycle accident lawyer David Hollingsworth, Cycling Accidents in Ontario….More than 200 cyclists took to Ottawa streets stating: cycling safety deserves our attention. “The message has to be a level of respect and polite sharing of the road,” said Eleanor McMahon. Sadly, McMahon lost her husband to a cycling accident 4 years ago. He served and protected as an Ontario police officer, now she is protecting his legacy through the “share the road” riding event.
The ride aims to make ensure no more lives are lost because of a battle between bicycle and car. 2 weeks ago, a 53-year-old cyclist died on Boyce Street in Ottawa’s west end. The loss was felt by Ottawa’s strong cycling community. It was also not that long ago that Ottawa was devastated by the bizarre Ottawa cycling accident that injured 5 cyclists. ”It raises a lot of emotions in me because we are still going through rehabilitation,” said cyclist Cathy Anderson. She was one of 5 cyclists who survived that serious bicycle accident in Kanata last July. Cycling enthusiasts at the event say it will take public education and determination to make sure the message sinks in. McMahon says the rides will help raise money as they get ready to approach the government. The group wants a law that will enforce a one-metre rule between cyclist and vehicle.
The following are some common types of collisions that a cyclist may suffer pesonal injury in:
- A motor vehicle driver turning directly in front of a bicyclist;
- An automobile driver entering the street from a driveway or parking spot and pulls out into traffic in front of the bicyclist;
- A motorist’s failure to yield at an intersection or running a stop sign or red light;
- A vehicle driver’s inattention while driving past a bicyclist;
- An automobile driver’s failure to look both ways when resuming travel after stopping at a stop sign;
- An automobile driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
There is very little protection for a rider involved in a bicycle accident and bicycle injuries can be very severe. If you have been involved in a bicycle or cycling accident, you may need the help of an experienced bicycle accident lawyer. David Hollingsworth is an experienced Ontario personal injury lawyer who can help guide you through the process and make sure you are financially covered in the future.

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers: UPDATE
OTTAWA — The car crash that killed one woman on Saturday and injured two of her sisters has sent shock waves through the siblings’ large, extended family. The survivors of Claudette Clement gathered at the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus on Monday to support those injured in the car crash. Sylvie Paquette, whose mother, Yolande Charette, suffered a broken vertebrae, said the family is very close. “My mother was one of five sisters, five brothers. But, now they are only four (sisters),” Paquette said, adding that the siblings had 27 grandchildren and 33 great grandchilren in total. “We’re a good, harmonious family; we are always there for each other, it’s incredible.” Clement, 67, of Plaisance, Que., was killed in the two-vehicle accident on Hwy. 7 near Stittsville on Saturday afternoon. She had been travelling with her two sisters, Yolande, 66, and Monique Charette, 63. The car was driven by Pierre Duvall, 66, Yolande’s common-law partner.
The green 2010 Toyota Camry was travelling westbound on the highway when Duvall apparently pulled onto the right shoulder before making a left turn toward a designated emergency vehicle U-turn area. An oncoming black 2009 Hyundai Elantra then broadsided the Camry. Duvall and the two surviving sisters were taken to hospital. Duvall and Yolande suffered minor personal injury. Monique, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident, was listed in serious condition. Paquette said Monique was in a coma and her mother Yolande was in a lot of pain. Paquette said that due to the strong medications, her mother has not fully absorbed all the details of the crash, including Clement’s death. “It is better like that for the moment.” Clement and most of her six or seven children lived in Plaisance, Que., said Paquette, adding that Clement’s husband died four years ago. Funeral arrangements had not been finalized Monday evening.
The Hyundai’s driver, David MacDiarmid, 31, and his 33-year-old passenger were taken to hospital with minor personal injury. Police said MacDiarmid tried to slow down, but was unable to avoid the collision.Paquette said alcohol could not have been a factor in the crash as her stepfather, who had open-heart surgery eight months ago, does not drink. The crash remained under OPP investigation. © Copyright (c) The Ottawa Citizen

OTTAWA — A 17-year-old male has been charged with careless driving and driving with a blood alcohol level above zero after a car crashed into tree Sunday morning, police said. A 17-year-old girl was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries after an accident at March Road near Highway 417 around 1:25 a.m. She was airlifted to CHEO in critical condition.
I am relieved to report that this young girl’s condition has improved; although she still has a long way to go…Police said her condition has been downgraded from life-threatening to stable condition.

Ottawa Car Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth, Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers..I’m happy to report that these young men seem to be doing better after their accident in Ottawa yesteday. I wish them all a full and healthy recovery….Ottawa Ontario Personal Injury Lawyer
The Ottawa Citizen reported that 5 young Ottawa Irish Rugby Club players who were rushed to hospital yesterday — including a 15-year-old in critical condition — after their SUV rolled over on Ottawa’s Moodie Drive have been released from Ottawa hospital and are recovering at home. “They’re in good spirits,” said Tim Powers, an executive member of the Ottawa Irish Rugby Club. The accident happened shortly before 6 p.m. just north of Cambrian Drive. Five players were riding home to the Rockland area in a Chevrolet Suburban, driven by their coach, from a Saturday afternoon match at Twin Elm Park when the SUV rolled over. Police are still investigating the cause. An 18-year-old passenger sustained back injuries and a puncture wound to his stomach and was taken to hospital in serious condition. A 19-year-old and 15-year-old were both taken to hospital in stable condition. The 23-year-old male driver, who is a former Ottawa Irish player, and other passenger were treated on scene and released. The most seriously injured was another 15-year-old sitting on the front passenger side, which took the brunt of the impact. He sustained a critical head injury, a serious shoulder injury, and significant blood loss. He was transported to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. He had about 48 stitches, Powers said, but still can’t wait to get back on the field.“He told the club president when he got home that he’ll be back out there by Tuesday,” Powers said. “I think the doctors might disagree with him on the time but it just shows that these boys are doing well.” The rugby season continues on until early November. Powers said it’s unsure whether all the players will return this season but they will make full recoveries.
