Ottawa personal injury attorney David Hollingsworth is reminding Ottawa and Ontario motorists to wear their seat belts as it is one of the single most important safety devices to protect yourself and your loved ones and is among the most effective way to protect your loved ones. Seat belts, helmets, child car seats and air bags prevent thousands of traffic deaths each year.
The following suggestions are just some (and there are many , many more) steps that can protect you and your family and save your life….
Wearing a seat belt or a motorcycle helmet, bicycle helmet is a decision that can change your life.
“It only takes a split second to buckle up and it also only takes a few seconds to suddenly be in a car accident” said Hollingsworth, a well-respected personal injury lawyer of 12 years whose law firm handles Ontario car, pedestrian, ATV, snowmobile, motorcycle, truck accidents as well as Ottawa slip and fall accidents and accidents throughout eastern Ontario. “Wearing your seat belt or a helmet should not be a decision, it should be automatic and will change your life in the event a car accident or any accident.”
Seat Belt Statistics..Statistic show that seat belts saved approximately 15,147 lives between the ages of 5 and older in 2007 and child car seats saved 382 lives of children aged 4 and younger. Motorcycle helmets saved 1,784 lives, and air bags saved approximately 2,788 people. Sadly it is also estimated that 5,024 more lives could have been saved if all drivers and passengers had worn a seat belt. And another 800 lives could have been saved if all motorcyclists wore helmets. Traffic accidents and death are on the decline since the 1990s, even though the use of seat belts has steadily improved. In 2009, about 84 % of motorists wore seat belts. Did you know that a passenger who is wearing a seat belt in the front seat is 37 percent more likely to survive a potentially fatal crash than one who is not? Did you also know that drivers are 48 5 more likely to survive when buckled up?
Knowing that, it’s crazy not to buckle up and out your helmet on. Please buckle up and drive safety in 2010,” said Hollingsworth.
