The terrible Ottawa accident has left him with critical injuriesm possibly a brain injury, in an Ottawa hospital.

My thoughts go out to his friends and family…
Carkner was arrested at the Ottawa accident scene by Ottawa police. Minutes earlier staff at the Hampton Park Plaza LCBO had seen him staggering into the LCBO, crashing into several signs and a guard rai. Trained LCBO staff refused to sell Carkner alcohol and called Ottawa police.

What a terrible, avoidable accident ….

Ottawa traumatic brain injury, Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth
Ottawa Freezing Rain, Ottawa Weather conditions, lawyer David Hollingsworth
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Injury and Accidents, safety on January 27th, 2012
Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth..Be careful out there, it’s slippery. Ottawa received about six-hours of freezing rain earlier this morning. The rain worked its way across the region and then tuned to snow late this morning. What this means for Ottawa is a nice layer of snow covering the ice. This makes for very slippery road conditions. Both drivers and pedestrians need to be extra cautious.
Ottawa commuters need to leave extra time to get to their destinations and expect a slower than normal drive.
Ottawa roads are very slick, and most are covered with a slush layer, making driving very treacherous. Ottawa Police, paramedics and fire rescue crews were busy all day responding to dozens of Ottawa accidents, especially along the Hwy 417, Hwy. 416 and Hwy. 174 , where there have been a high number of serious Ottawa accidents. Hwy. 138 has been shut due to a serious crash between Willy Allen Rd. and Bonville (in the St. Andrews area, north of Cornwall). The eastbound lanes of Hwy. 401 have also been closed at mile marker 756 near Morrisburg due to another serious accident.
Ottawa’s weather has also unfortunately resulted closed the Rideau Canal Skateway this morning. National Capital Commission has been working hard to keep the Rideau Canal open this weekend for the thousands of visitors coming to Ottawa for the NHL All-Star Weekend.
As the day goes on, Ottawa roads are getting better but will likely freeze again tonight. Drive, walk and cycle carefully and slowly. Please give yourself the extra braking time.

Ottawa accident leaves woman in critical condition: Ottawa police need our help.
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth …Ottawa Police need our help. They are looking for any witnesses to help in their investigation of an Ottawa accident on Woodroffe avenue that left a pedestrian woman with critical injuries at the corner of Woodroffe Avenue and Iris Street during yesterday’s afternoon’s rush hour.
The 40-year-old woman remains in an Ottawa hospital in critical condition as a result of being struck and pinned beneath the City of Ottawa snow plow. Ottawa Police are trying to figure out how the terrible Ottawa accident happened and are looking for any help they can get. Ottawa paramedics said the woman suffered serious critical injuries, which included internal injuries and broken legs. She never regained consciousness between the time they treated her and when they rushed her to got her to the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic Campus.
A passerby at the scene of the Ottawa accident called 911 and was instrumental in stopping traffic once she realised the woman was caught between the wheels of the City of Ottawa’s salt truck. As she came to the Ottawa accident scene , she noticed the driver was crouched down beside the injured woman, while another passerby came and stayed with the woman, holding her until Ottawa emergency crews arrived at the scene of the Ottawa accident.
My thoughts are with this woman and her family. If you have any information at all that relates to this terrible Ottawa accident, please contact the Ottawa police .

Ottawa neurosurgeon Dr. Vassilyadi and child head injury, study calls for new helmet
Ottawa Head Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Brain Injury Attorneys….Ottawa-based neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Vassilyadi has conducted a research that shows hockey helmets are the most effective at protecting children and preventing serious head injury to children tobogganing. The experiment conducted by Dr. Michael Vassilyadi, the neurosurgeon at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and also a professor at the University of Ottawa, tested helmets designed for hockey, downhill skiing and cycling. Dr. Vassilyadi and his Ottawa team simulated the potential impact that might occur while tobogganing. The findings were amazing. Hockey helmets were determined to be the safest, over bicycle helmets. This is especially true if the hockey helmet has a face shield guard. Dr . Vassilyadi noted that often times, when a child suffers a tobogganing injury, they often have facial injuries such as torn lips, broken teeth, broken nose, or eye injuries.
The bottom line is that any helmet is better than none for tobogganing. So if you can’t have access to a hockey helmet, then please grab whatever helmet you have when you take your kids out tobogganing. As an Ontario personal injury lawyer who has had many clients with severe head injuries, I am in complete agreement with Dr. Vassilyadi and support is desire to see a helmet created for outdoor winter activities such as tobogganing and skating. It really does seem crazy not to.
Dr Vassilyadi explained that collisions in tobogganing are usually to the front of the head, whereas ski accidents usually involve impacts to the side of the head, where ski helmets were the most effective. Again this just goes to show that there is a need for a specific helmet to be designed for tobogganing , as there is currently no helmet specifically designed to protect the front of the head on impact.
All this to say, do everything you can to keep your little one’s (and yourself) safe. Take every safety step you can. A child brain injury or head injury is life altering. Enjoy this winter and all it’s wonderful activities, but please be safe.
