Ottawa motorcycle accident: Funeral for Mike Jefferies and serious personal injury for Sandra Jefferies.

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…update: 100s are expected to gather for a memorial service at the Biker’s Church to share wonderful stories about  avid biker Mike Jefferies. His son Barry had once said he would never ride a motorcycle again but is doing what his heart tells him and that’s what his dad would have told him.  Get back on the bike, and he is, in honour of his beloved father. A motorcycle procession is planned for tomorrow ( Saturday) in tribute to Mike Jefferies before his funeral.

Sadly, 54-year-old Mike Jeffries yesterday afternoon doing what he loved to do: riding his motorcycle. Mike Jefferies died after an accident  on St. Laurent Boulevard, north of the Queensway shortly after 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Ottawa paramedics found him in cardiac arrest at the  Ottawa motorcycle accident scene. 

An off-duty paramedic, who happened to be nearby when the accident took place, managed to revive Jefferies using cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at the scene. He later died in hospital.

Mike Jefferies’ pastor spoke highly of him as described him as generous and thoughtful. He also said they would remember Mike at a service on Thursday. Jefferies’ wife, 53-year-old Sandra Jefferies, was also on the motorcycle at the time of the Ottawa motorcycle accident. She was taken to an hospital in serious condition but was expected to be released.  Ottawa police were investigating but had not made any arrests as of Saturday at about 10 p.m. Jefferies had one son, Barry, who is in his 20s. My thoughts go out to the friends and family of Mike Jeffries and I wish his wife a full recovery…..

Ottawa Injury Lawyer :How long does it take for an Ontario personal injury lawsuit to settle ?

Ontario Personal Injury Lawyers, Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…How long does an Ontario personal injury lawsuit case take to settle?

Well, that’s an excellent question and there isn’t one straight forward answer.  The length of time it takes  for an Ontario personal injury lawsuit to resolve depends on several factors. The most important determining factors of an Ontario personal injury law suit are:

-The severity of your personal injuries..you will need time to determine the extent of the personal injury

-How quickly  information and documents are gathered

-How much cooperation your Ontario personal injury lawyer receives from the insurance defence lawyer

-The recommendations from your medical professionals

-How long it takes to gather all medical records

-If the case settles before trial

-How long it takes to obtain a trial date .

There are many steps along the way designed to reach a settlement without having to go to trial.  Most Ontario personal injury law suits settle before having to have a trial.  As an Ottawa personal injury lawyer, I have settled close to 100% of all my Ontario personal injury law suits without having to go to trail. There are stages in an Ontario personal injury lawsuit such as mediation, examination for discovery and settlement conferences that are steps in an Ontario personal injury lawsuit designed to avoid a trial.  I typically settle most of my Ontario personal injury lawsuits at these stages. 

The most important factor in an Ontario personal injury lawsuit in terms of time, is to make sure you take the time to do it right.  There is too much at stake not to. You may have your personal injuries for the rest of your life and you and your family need to be properly compensated .

What is a personal injury? Compensation for injuries in Ontario.

David Hollingsworth-Ottawa Ontario Personal Injury Attorney , Ottawa Lawyer specializing in personal injuries…
 
What is a personal injury ? What compensation for injuries is there in Ontario?
 

 Some personal injuries are so severe that they are obvious, while others are not.  Some personal injuries are harder to see, as they are not visible, yet may be equally as painful and life-changing. The following personal injuries are the more common personal injuries, but do not include all..

 

motor vehicle accident injuries- car accidents, motorcycle accidents, boat accident, ATV accidents, snowmobile accidents, etc..

 

paraplegic injuries 

quadriplegic injuries 

spinal cord injury 

accident amputations -loss of  limbs 

brain injuries 

head injury 

whiplash injury 

orthopedic injuries (broken bones) 

lacerations, burns and scarring 

chronic pain 

fibromyalgia 

chronic fatigue 

pain and suffering 

other injuries resulting from an accident

The amount of compensation in Ontario to which an Ontario accident victim is entitled to varies.  There are a number of factors that go into determining compensation in Ontario such as severity of injury (physical, mental and psychological), future care and medical needs, loss of past and future income, need for ongoing house-keeping assistance, attendant care and caregiving assistance needs, to name a few.  An experienced Ontario personal injury lawyer can go through all of this with you and help ensure you get the maximum compensation to which you are entitled to.  Experienced Ontario personal injury lawyers work directly with medical doctors, social workers, psychologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, other treating health practitioners to  support you and ensure you are getting everything that  is needed.
