A 50 year old Ottawa woman is currently in an Ottawa hospital with severe head injuries after a car hit her wheelchair yesterday and dragged her several metres in Ottawa’s west end.

Ottawa expecting snow and freezing rain tomorrow, Ottawa lawyer David Hollingsworth
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Ottawa Resources, safety on April 22nd, 2012
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…I can’t believe it but apparently it is going to snow and freeze rain tomorrow. What worries me is that many of us have already removed our snow tires and this could be dangerous, leading to an increased rate of Ottawa accidents. There is a storm front moving in beginning with rain, then turning to snow. The snow will not likely stick around for long but will make driving conditions a challenge in the Ottawa and eastern Ontario area. Please take your time tomorrow out on the roads. There will be many more cars on the roads, especially on the highway out to Scotiabank Place. Leave extra braking distance between you and the vehicle in front of you . Please also look out for cyclists and pedestrians, as your braking speed may be affected by the severe change in weather. Drive safely.

Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Car Accidents, Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Ottawa Resources on January 25th, 2011
The City of Ottawa’s website has produced its yearly Ottawa Accident Statistics. You can find them and a lot more valuable information that relates to Ottawa accidents. It is interesting to note that there has been an increase in licensed drivers on Ottawa roads but less reported accidents? Are Ottawa drivers driving more carefully?
