Ontario, Ottawa slip and fall settlement / Ottawa Lawyer explains..
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Personal Injury Claims on March 9th, 2010
Even though the mild weather is coming to Ottawa, slip and fall accidents still happen regularly. The ice is melting and has a slick layer of water on top, which remains invisible to the pedestrian. In most instances, when you suffer from an Ontario slip and fall accident, property owners will often try to settle your Ontario accident claim out of court. An Ontario accident settlement offer may be presented as a lump amount or as a structured settlement with several payments spread out over time. If you slip or fall on a business’ property, the settlement offer is usually lower than if the case goes to trial. This is where the top Ottawa personal injury lawyers can help. An experienced Ottawa personal injury lawyer will be able to fight for you and get the maximum settlement offer. A skilled Ottawa personal injury lawyer with experience handling Ottawa slip and fall accident cases similar to yours can help you determine what to expect. Each case is complex and requires a skilled personal injury lawyer to determine whether a settlement offer is fair or not. In most cases, when an Ottawa personal injury lawyer is not involved, it is not. Most Ottawa personal injury lawyers get paid out of the settlement (contingency fee) and are likely to negotiate aggressively to get you the maximum settlement.
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth specializes in Ontario slip and fall accidents and Ottawa personal injury, dedicated to his clients and fighting for maximum settlement for physical or mental harm or personal injury caused by negligence and Ontario accidents. As one of the best Ottawa personal injury lawyers, David has earned an outstanding reputation in the areas of Ontario personal injury, slip and fall accidents and Ontario motor vehicle accidents.

David Hollingsworth : Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer – On the heals of our very exciting Olympic win last night in men’s hockey this timely article was published in the Ottawa Citizen. I am a father of 3, and every time I go to an Ottawa outdoor rink with my kids and see someone without a helmet on, I am in disbelief !
The city of Ottawa is planning on requiring children under 13 to wear helmets at Ottawa indoor skating rinks, but may stop short of an Ottawa bylaw making helmets mandatory for Ottawa children in all outdoor sports. The city of Ottawa already makes minors wear helmets when they participate in Ottawa city-run skating programs, or use the indoor skateboard park or the BMX park. The new policy will extend mandatory helmet use for children to all Ottawa public skating sessions.
Studies show that proper helmet use can prevent head injury and brain injury in children. Earlier this winter, Ottawa emergency-room doctors at the Ottawa hospital treated more than 50 children with head injury and facial injury as a result of skating and tobogganing Ottawa accidents. Approximately 1/2 of them suffered concussions while the other 1/2 had injuries ranging from cuts to broken jaws incurred as a result of face-plants on the ice. Of all the winter outdoor sports, ice skating accounts for the most Ottawa ER visits for head injury in children. Some believe that making a mandatory rule for helmet use creates barriers and limits those who may participate in Ottawa sporting activities. What do you think?

Ottawa Child Personal Injury Lawyer : TV Accidents
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in safety on February 14th, 2010
The last thing in the world we want to have happen is see our children suffer a personal injury. What would be even worse would be if it was avoidable. Even worse to that would if it was something we, ourselves as parents didn’t do to keep them safe. I came across some of this information a while ago in a related law blog written by James Dodson and haven’t stopped thinking about it..

It may be valentine’s day but what better way to show your family you love them then by keeping them safe. If you have a flat screen TV and have been putting off securing it …stop what you are doing and do it today-yes, right now !! The Journal of Clinical Pediatrics published very disturbing personal injury statistics as it relates to child personal injury. The increase in child personal injury is directly related to an increase in the number of homes with flat panel tvs and homeowners’ eagerness to get watching tv as soon as it is hooked up, which usually interferes with properly securing the tv and an avoidance of a child personal injury. Here are some of the astonishing child personal injury statistics I came across…
- Child personal injury rates are up by 41% since 1990
- 75% of child personal injury are under 6 years of age
- 17,000 children were treated for child personal injury in emergency rooms in 2007 related to falling or unstable furniture (most for head injury and neck injury)
- Falling TVs accounted for almost half of these child personal injury
- these child personal injury accidents occurred from failure to secure TVs to a console
to avoid a child personal injury, check your flat panel tv for instructions on how to secure them or visit the website. Young children are not aware of the dangers of climbing on furniture, or the risk of a child personal injury. The narrow bases that hold these tvs make them very top heavy and unfortunately unstable and unsafe.
I know that here, tonight before I cheer on my beloved Ottawa Senators, I will be checking our tvs to make sure that we are doing or best to avoid child personal injury. Let’s keep our kids safe Ottawa !

Injury ? Result of an accident ? Need a personal injury lawyer ?
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Personal Injury Claims on December 17th, 2009
Ottawa Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer explains when you really need a personal injury lawyer. Do you have an injury because of an accident and are wondering do you need a personal injury lawyer? The answer may be yes, and you may need to call a personal injury lawyer. However, suing other people in hopes of making a buck is not realistic. Frivolous lawsuits without any real damage done to the plaintiff are very common. Most do not even make it past the first stage in the personal injury lawsuit process because they are ludicrous. Lawsuits with no substance are referred to as frivolous; however, there are many cases where hiring a good personal injury lawyer is absolutely necessary.
If you have been harmed by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, or if a loved one has died due to the reckless or criminal behavior of a person or company, you should definitely contact an experienced personal injury lawyer. At this difficult time, the last thing you need to concern yourself with is the paperwork, deadlines, and red tape that are often associated with filing a lawsuit. That’s what your personal injury lawyer is for. They completely understand the law inside and out and can easily explain to you your legal rights through no fault of your own allowing you to focus on healing and taking care of your family. This is a personal injury lawyer’s area of experience.
The reasons to contact a personal injury lawyer are quite extensive. Some of the most common areas that personal injury lawyers deal with are as follows:
Motor vehicle accidents: car accidents, ATV accidents, snowmobile accidents, motorcycle accidents etc..
Medical errors (medical malpractice or medical negligence)
Wrongful death
Dangerous/defective drugs (drugs that have been recalled)
Defective vehicles (and tires, safety belts, braking systems, etc)
Slips and falls on other people’s property (known as premises liability law)
Historical sexual assaults and historical sexual abuse
If your doctor or surgeon operated on the wrong limb or if your pharmacist dispensed a medication you are allergic to, the parties must be held responsible. Experienced Ottawa Ontario personal injury lawyers have handled thousands of these cases and they know how to fight to get you the compensation and justice you deserve.
If you feel you have suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence then you should contact a personal injury lawyer. If you live in Eastern Ontario or the Ottawa area and have an injury due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, please visit www.ottawainjury.ca for more information regarding the compensation you are entitled to for your injury. www.ottawainjury.ca or call 613 978-9549 schedule a confidential, no-cost consultation over the phone or in person.

Ottawa Car Accident- 1 man dies..3 Children and a mother in accident are recovering…
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Car Accidents, Ottawa Injury and Accidents, wrongful death on June 11th, 2009
My thoughts and sympathies go out to the friends and family of Dragan Popovic..Thank goodness that the mother and the 3 children in the other vehicle are recovering….
OTTAWA — Police have released the name of the Ottawa man who died when he lost control of his Aston Martin and collided head-on with a minivan on the West Hunt Club Road bridge over the Rideau River on Tuesday.
Ottawa police said Dragan Popovic, 45, was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision, which occurred at about 12:10 p.m.
Police said their investigation so far has determined that the Aston Martin driven by Popovic turned right onto Hunt Club Road from Prince of Wales Drive, headed east.
Popovic is believed to have lost control of the car, which crossed the median into the westbound lane, police said.
A Dodge Caravan traveling west into the left turn lane collided with the skidding vehicle, according to police. The driver of the minivan, a 32-year-old woman, suffered a broken leg and chest injuries and was transported to hospital in serious, but stable condition.
The minivan also had three child passengers, who were transported to CHEO.
A four-year-old girl was treated for an injury to her pelvis and other cuts and bruises, and was taken to hospital in serious, but stable condition, according to paramedics. A girl, less than a month old, and a two-year-old boy suffered no injuries, but were taken to hospital as a precaution.
According to paramedics, all three children were properly secured in their child seats.
The bridge was closed in both directions for several hours as collision investigators examined the wreck.
The investigation is ongoing. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor at this time, police said.

Personal Injury Lawsuits- When to see a Personal Injury Lawyer- David Hollingsworth, Ottawa Ontario
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Accident Benefits Insurance Claims, Ottawa Resources, Personal Injury Claims on April 30th, 2009
How Soon Should I See a Lawyer After a Personal Injury Or Accident?
In Ontario, you generally have two years from the date which you knew or ought to have known you have a cause of action to advance your claim. This limitation period generally commences from the date of the injury, accident/loss. Some claims have different limitation periods. The limitation period in dealing with minors begins to run as soon as that person reaches the age of majority. In cases against a municipality, you have to give written notice of your claim within 10 days of the date of loss. Different limitation periods and different facts make it very important to consult with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
If you’re not able to leave your home or the hospital because of the severity of your injuries, myself and most other personal injury lawyers will gladly visit you at your home or at the hospital to meet with you and your family to discuss your personal injury claim in order to protect and preserve your rights.
Your personal injury lawyer likely knows what steps need to be taken in order to put you and your family in the best possible position to succeed and cope following the traumatic injury and loss of an accident. Not consulting with a personal injury lawyer immediately after the accident is sitting on your legal rights and allowing the wrongdoer to get away with his/her bad actions which may have caused your loss/injury.
A personal injury lawyer can only help you if you following the law. The longer you wait the more difficult it becomes to prepare a strong case – and a strong case is extremely important for YOU. So don’t let time go by after you have been injured. And remember the law is on your side and a good personal injury lawyer can make it easy and painless to collect a fair sum of money that is rightfully yours.
