Ontario Accident Benefits Lawyer, Limitations and Compensations

Ontario Accident Benefits Lawyer, David Hollingsworth…Obtaining an Ontario personal injury lawyer after an accident in Ontario is important to protect your rights and ensure you receive ALL the compensation you are entitled to.  The province of Ontario has many time limitations  when it comes to seeking compensation for personal injuries due to a motor vehicle accident and other Ontario accidents. Often times, just figuring out if you need an Ontario personla injury lawyer is your first concern after an Ontario a car accident, bicycle accident, motorcycle accident, or slip and fall accident.

When you have been involved in an Ontario accident and you would like to pursue applying for Ontario accident benefits compensation from your insurance company, you are responsible for notifying the insurer within 7 days of the date of the Ontario accident. In some cases the personal injuries you suffer  may be so serious that you are unable to apply for Ontario accident benefits within the 7 day grace period, in which case you must do it asap. Once the insurance company has sent the accident benefit  forms you will then have 30 days from the point you receive the accident benefit application to return the forms back to your insurance company. If you fail to meet these timelines, don’t worry- all is not lost as long as there is a reasonable excuse for the forms being returned late.

The Ontario Insurance Act states the following; when attempting to obtain compensation due to loss, damage from bodily personal injury or wrongful death arising from the use or operation of an automobile the plaintiff (injured party) must present written notice to start a lawsuit against the defendant within 120 days of the Ontario accident and a law suit can not be started after 2 years  of the original claim .

Recovery after a traumatic personal injury can be a very complicated and stressful  time and a top personal injury lawyer can help you through difficult times, helping you with medical reports, insurance adjusters and complicated insurance forms.

Ottawa Accident March Road Results with Young Girl Critical Personal Injuries

Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth..Regrettably, I am  reporting that a young girl remains at CHEO tonight with very serious, life threatening personal injury as a result of an Ottawa accident earlier this morning.   My  thoughts are with her family and friends at this very difficult time.  Ottawa police have pleaded to the Ottawa commmunity for help in trying to figure out what happenned to this young girl.   A 16 year old girl  has been taken to hospital with life-threatening personal injuries after an accident at March Road near Highway 417 Sunday morning. Police said the 17-year-old was a passenger in a vehicle, whose driver lost control and hit a tree in the area of March and Thomas Argue roads at about 1:25 a.m.  Thankfully, 3 other passengers, did not suffer personal injury.  The young girl was airlifted to CHEO where she remains in critical condition.  My thoughts go out to her and I hope to soon report of her full recovery.

update:

OTTAWA — A 17-year-old male has been charged with careless driving and driving with a blood alcohol level above zero after a car crashed into tree Sunday morning, police said. A 17-year-old girl was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries after an accident at March Road near Highway 417 around 1:25 a.m. She was airlifted to CHEO in critical condition.

I am relieved to report that this young girl’s condition has improved; although she still has a long way to go…Police said her condition has been downgraded from life-threatening to stable condition.

Police have charged the 17-year-old driver with careless driving under the Highway Traffic Act. The youth was also charged with driving with a blood alcohol level above zero. New legislation, which came into effect in July, requires young drivers to be alcohol-free when they get behind the wheel.

Ottawa OC Transpo accident results in neck injury, back injury and orthopedic injury for 4 Ottawa residents, Lawyer David Hollingsworth

Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth, Personal Injury Lawyer for Eastern Ontario…I hope everyone  involved in yesterday’s Ottawa accident will be ok and experience a speedy and full recovery….

                                                                                       Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth

4 Ottawa  people suffered personal injury yesterday when an OC Transpo bus was rear-ended by a cement truck. The Ottawa accident occured at around 11:25 a.m. at the intersection St. Laurent Boulevard and Donald Street. At least 6 people were on the bus when the truck, full of cement, hit the bus. One passenger was treated for a fractured wrist (orthopedic injury), and the three others were treated for neck injury and back injuries. They were taken to hospital in stable condition.  Two other passengers were assessed by paramedics, but they were not treated for personal injury.  The drivers of the bus and cement truck also did not suffer personal injury.  The  personal injuries could have been worse considering the considerable damage to the back of the Ottawa bus. “There is some training the paramedics have in terms of looking at certain things, damage-wise, that would indicate the seriousness of that impact and if the passengers were wearing their seatbelt,”  said an Ottawa paramedic at the scene of the Ottawa accident. “When they arrived at scene, they thought that they were going to be dealing with a lot more serious personal injury.”

Check your car tires..Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth

Ottawa personal injury lawyer David Hollingsworth Ottawa Accident Lawyer..Wishing everyone out there a great and safe long weekend.  Pleased rive, swim, bike, ride and boat safely !!!

According to Department of Transport Road Accident Statistics, the number of  car accidents caused by weather and snow covered roads increase in winter by 267 percent. Obviously we can’t control the weather conditions but  we can reduce car accident statistics considerably by replacing the tires according to the weather conditions. Many Ontario residents and those who live in colder areas, change their car tires prior to start of winter season and again in spring or summer. This is done for the sake of safety as the experienced car drivers know that the ambient temperature is directly related with their tires performance.  The research also indicates  that ambient temperatures below 7 degrees celcius  potentially trigger hazardous driving conditions. Insurance companies statistics also support this view stating that the increase in car accident damage insurance claims increases drastically with the onset of colder weather. This is why it is extremely important to ensure you have tires that are in good condition.   Test rides have proved that whenever temperatures go below 7ºC, tire rubber become  hard and that results in less road grip. Fitting cold weather tires to our vehicles before winter season is the best solution to drive safely, even during the winter, rainy or snowing season, when temperatures are likely to go down below 7C. Cold weather tires provide better mileage while normal tires reduce the mileage up to 20 %. Cold weather tires contain more rubber that minimizes the hardening effect and gives extra grip in wet, cold or icy conditions. As a result, we get shorter breaking distances. Although it may be a hassle,  spending a few minutes for tires replacement at the change of weather twice a year for the sake of  safety is not only justified, it is essential. Even after adapting this practice, don’t forget to continually check the tires condition and pressure regularly.

Since 1999, David Hollingsworth has been an Ottawa personal injury lawyer working with Goldberg Stroud LLP, an Ottawa law firm of 50 years, helping accident victims and their families who have suffered a personal injury or loved ones of those who have suffered a wrongful death due to motor vehicle accidents and other accidents.  David fights to get the maximum amount of compensation for his clients.  He understands that you will likely never go through such a difficult time in your life again and you need help now.  David Hollingsworth and his personal injury team are here to help. Free consultations and cases are taken on a contingency fee , which means you do not pay David  until you get your money.
