Boy struck while standing beside his snowmobile resulting in severe head injury.

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers David Hollingsworth .  Sadly, a 16 year old male remains in critical condition in Ottawa’s CHEO trauma centre after a terrible accident on 8th Line Road and Glenwood drive, close to Metcalfe. the accident happened last night around 10 pm. The teen had been standing beside his snowmobile at the side of the road when he was hit by another vehicle and thrown several feet away.  He suffered a severe head injury, as well as serious injuries to his body and legs.  He remains in critical condition at CHEO. What a terrible thing to have happened to this young boy.  My thoughts are with his family at this very stressful time and I hope he is able to recover fully from this awful accident.

It has been reported that the driver who hit this young boy fled the accident scene. He has since been tracked down but Ottawa police are still investigating. If you have any information that could help, please contact the Ottawa police at 613-236-1222 ext 2481.

Can you believe this many Ottawa drivers didn’t stop at a stop sign last month ?

David Hollingsworth and Associates- Personal Injury Lawyers in Ottawa Ontario. Can you believe that Ottawa police issued 271 tickets in January to drivers who failed to properly stop at a stop sign? Ottawa Police also issued  97 tickets to drivers who followed too closely behind the vehicle in front of them.  Although obeying these 2 rules seems very obvious, it’s amazing how many Ottawa accidents occur each year as a result of these 2 infractions. so why? Are we always in a rush? Are we not paying attention? Do we think accidents won’t happen to us? Well guess what? They do ! Ottawa accident statistics don’t lie.  Doing 2 simple things such as leaving enough space (2 chevrons) between you and the vehicle in front of you and allowing yourself enough time to stop properly can make all the difference . Let’s all work at keeping Ottawa roads safer !

Tragic Ottawa rollover accident Upper Dwyer Hill at March road: car submerged in water filled ditch.

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers David Hollingsworth and Associates. Sadly, a 43 year old woman died yesterday at an Ottawa hospital. She has been submerged under water car after her car  flipped and landed in a ditch filled with water on Upper Dwyer Hill Road at March Road. Emergency crews got the call around 8:15, but tragically Ottawa firefighters couldn’t help the woman. They had to first tow the car out of the water ditch and turn it over before Ottawa paramedics could try to start to save her .   She was air-lifted to an Ottawa hospital and sadly she succumbed to her injuries. My thoughts are with her family and friends at this very sad and difficult time.

Ottawa Injury Lawyer on driving safety in eastern Ontario.

It’s that time of year again when the roads become more dangerous and we are also spending more time on the roads visiting friends. In light of the recent freezing rain conditions here in Ottawa , I thought I would help provide a few reminders when it comes to travel safety…

What to have with you in difficult winter driving conditions in Ontario…

Be prepared and have a first aid kit in your vehicle at all times with: 

  •  ice scraper
  •  snow brush
  •  matches
  • candles
  •  flashlights
  •  flares
  • non-perishable snacks
  • rope
  • maps
  • booster cables
  • safety shovel
  • winter boots
  • blankets
  • gloves
  • cell phone
  • Have a HELP sign (to be placed on back of window)

What to do in difficult winter driving conditions in Ontario…

  • Keep windows, mirrors and lights free of obstructions.
  • Check  headlamps,  signals and tail lights are clear of  snow and ice
  • Clear off your car entirely, including side mirrors.
  • Install snow tires.
  • Add gas line anti-freeze to the fuel-tank when refueling in extremely cold weather.
  • Keep gas tank always be over 1/2 full.
  • Make sure you have properly functioning  windshield wipers.
  • Keep windshield washer fluid levels full.
  • Check engine oil and ensure you have winter weight oil   5W-30.
  • Keep battery dry, clean, well connected and free of corrosion .
  • Make sure tire pressure is balanced
  • Check tire condition
  • Check coolant level and mixture and have it flushed every two years.

What to do in freezing rain driving conditions in Ontario…

  • Avoid driving in freezing rain.
  • Allow extra time for travel.
  • Do not drive if there are whiteouts, freezing rain or blizzards.
  • Never drink and drive. Use a designated driver, taxis, walk or sleepover when possible.
  • Buckle up your seat belt.
  • Ensure all passengers are buckled up.
  • Don’t drive if you are tired.
  • Slow down.
  • Keep at least 2 chevrons between you and the vehicle in front of you.  

An accident can happen in an instant and can be devastating.  Most accidents can be avoided.  Please take the time and share this with friends and family. It could help save a life.

Have a safe and happy holiday season.

Ottawa Accident Lawyer: Important timelines when filing an insurance claim after an accident.

Ottawa accident Lawyers David Hollingsworth and Associates…Anyone can get hurt in an accident at any given moment. It happens so quickly and the after effects can be devastating. In Ontario, there are certain timelines that need to be adhered to make an insurance claim as easy as possible, following an accident. If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident, these timelines need to be adhered to as best as possible.  

First and foremost, if needed seek medical attention immediately and ensure that your health needs are being met.

Within 7 days of your accident, it is crucial…
That you or a loved one notifies your insurance company of  the accident.

Within 30 Days of your accident, it is crucial…
That you make an application for accident benefits.

Within 2 Years of your accident, it is crucial…
Your personal injury lawyer files a tort claim against the party who is at fault for the accident. This in turn, makes a claim against the insurer if you are denied accident benefits from your own insurance company.

As an Ottawa personal injury lawyer, I know that the days immediately following an accident, it is difficult to start making claims and filling out applications.  That is why it is best to contact an Ottawa personal injury lawyer and let them do this for you.Your job is to recover .  Their job is to help you.  I can’t tell you how much stress is immediately relieved when I tell my clients in the initial meeting. “Don’t worry, we can take care of this for you.” I can immediately see it in my clients faces and bodies. 

There are certain exceptions to these timelines; however they are rare.  If you happen to fall into this category, it is best you consult with a personal injury lawyer and let them look into it for you.
