Ottawa Accident Lawyer, Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…Regrettably, one woman has died and others have suffered serious personal injury. I wish everyone involved a full and healthy recovery. One woman is dead and another has suffered serious personal injury and is in critical condition after a two-car Ottawa accident on Highway 7 in Ottawa’s west end yesterday afternoon. Ottawa Paramedics said there were 6 people involved in the accident, 5 in one car and one in the other. Sadly, a woman passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. 4 other people were taken to Ottawa hospital, one of them by helicopter. The sixth person was uninjured. The woman passenger who was flown to the Ottawa hospital was in critical condition, with serious personal injury. Another woman and two men have personal injuries that were not considered life threatening. The Ottawa accident happened near Jinkinson Road, which is just southwest of Stittsville.
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers: UPDATE
OTTAWA — The car crash that killed one woman on Saturday and injured two of her sisters has sent shock waves through the siblings’ large, extended family. The survivors of Claudette Clement gathered at the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus on Monday to support those injured in the car crash. Sylvie Paquette, whose mother, Yolande Charette, suffered a broken vertebrae, said the family is very close. “My mother was one of five sisters, five brothers. But, now they are only four (sisters),” Paquette said, adding that the siblings had 27 grandchildren and 33 great grandchilren in total. “We’re a good, harmonious family; we are always there for each other, it’s incredible.” Clement, 67, of Plaisance, Que., was killed in the two-vehicle accident on Hwy. 7 near Stittsville on Saturday afternoon. She had been travelling with her two sisters, Yolande, 66, and Monique Charette, 63. The car was driven by Pierre Duvall, 66, Yolande’s common-law partner.
The green 2010 Toyota Camry was travelling westbound on the highway when Duvall apparently pulled onto the right shoulder before making a left turn toward a designated emergency vehicle U-turn area. An oncoming black 2009 Hyundai Elantra then broadsided the Camry. Duvall and the two surviving sisters were taken to hospital. Duvall and Yolande suffered minor personal injury. Monique, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident, was listed in serious condition. Paquette said Monique was in a coma and her mother Yolande was in a lot of pain. Paquette said that due to the strong medications, her mother has not fully absorbed all the details of the crash, including Clement’s death. “It is better like that for the moment.” Clement and most of her six or seven children lived in Plaisance, Que., said Paquette, adding that Clement’s husband died four years ago. Funeral arrangements had not been finalized Monday evening.
The Hyundai’s driver, David MacDiarmid, 31, and his 33-year-old passenger were taken to hospital with minor personal injury. Police said MacDiarmid tried to slow down, but was unable to avoid the collision.Paquette said alcohol could not have been a factor in the crash as her stepfather, who had open-heart surgery eight months ago, does not drink. The crash remained under OPP investigation. © Copyright (c) The Ottawa Citizen

….David Hollingsworth, who runs a personal injury practice for plaintiffs at Goldberg Wiseman Stroud & Hollingsworth LLP in Ottawa, says one of the big issues in his city is a couple of really “nasty” collisions involving cyclists and buses. “We have designated bus lanes and designated cyclist lanes and locations in the city where you have to cut across the bus lane to the cyclist lane. There was a fatality, a young woman, doing just that. That is a hot topic here in Ottawa right now. There have been articles in the paper about what should be done, what they’re going to do to make our cyclists safer.” Another issue is the widespread flouting of the ban on driving while using a cellphone. But Kwinter says it’s a very difficult law to enforce. “You can pass all the laws you want but if you can’t enforce it so you can take somebody to court and get a conviction, what good is the law? I haven’t seen any cases where people have been charged but I would think that a police officer would have to be following someone. And if you’re following someone at night, it would be virtually impossible to see what they’re doing. How do you ever look into the car from behind a vehicle? In the daytime, you’d have to be either following the vehicle for a considerable period of time or be stopped beside the vehicle. And if anyone sees that they’re being followed by a cop car or that one is beside them, they’re not going to talk on their cellphone.” Hollingsworth agrees, noting he hasn’t seen or heard of any instances of enforcement. He thinks people are on the phone even more now since cars are better equipped. “There’s no question it’s a problem,” he says. “You have to dial the number, especially now with 10-digit numbers, and BlackBerrys have small buttons. You can see drivers tapping away at their phone. I guess any conversation, changing the CD is a distraction. But they’ve not got it up at their ear; they’ve got it down in their lap or leaning against the steering wheel.” The issue has also become an important matter in litigation. “I have a number of cases right now, one in particular which is a fatality, where the strong suggestion is that the driver who caused the accident was texting,” Hollingsworth says. “That’s now a common thing. Almost every time you’re in an examination for discovery, the question comes up for both parties: whether you were on your cellphone or were texting. The followup question almost always is, ‘Can I have your cellphone records?’ Obviously, that kind of distraction would lead to the contribution of fault.”….

Ottawa Accident Lawyer, Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, David Hollingsworth…My thoughts are with this family..As a father of a six year old son myself, I am thinking about this boy, his family and I wish him a full and speedy recovery.
A 6 year-old boy is in critical condition with serious head injury after the minivan he was travelling in crashed into a diesel tanker truck in Ottawa Sunday morning. Ottawa police say the tanker was heading northbound on Merivale and had a green light when the van may have run a red and crashed into the rear passenger side. The boy and his three siblings inside the van were taken to the CHEO. Their father luckily suffered no personal injury and another adult passenger was taken to the Ottawa Hospital General Campus as a precaution. 4 children were in car seats and thankfully all wearing seatbelts. Police have not released names or laid charges in the accident.

Starting next year, the city of Ottawa plans to require children under the age of 13 to wear helmets at municipal indoor skating rinks, but may stop short of a bylaw making helmets mandatory for children in all outdoor sports. The city of Ottawa currently makes minors wear helmets when they participate in 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.
Last year, doctors from Ottawa CHEO spoke to the city’s community and protective services committee about how proper helmet use can prevent children head injury and children brain injury. They noted that Ottawa emergency-room doctors at the Ottawa hospital treated more than 50 Ottawa children last year with head injury and facial injury caused by skating and tobogganing accidents. About half of them suffered concussions while the other half had injury ranging from cuts to broken jaws incurred as a result of face-plants on the ice. However, when compared to sledding and skateboarding, ice skating accounts for the most ER visits for head injury in children. That’s why the city’s parks and recreation department is recommending that helmets become mandatory for children under 13 at all supervised, indoor skating rinks.
Whether it be on skates, on a bike or on a skateboard, I encourage everyone to help keep their children safe and have them wear a helmet. If you can’t afford one, there are programs in Ottawa that can help . For more information visit www.ottawainjury.ca or email ottawainjury@live.ca

Good news Ottawa ! The city is going to be looking closely at some of the most dangerous Ottawa accident intersections. In Ottawa, Ontario between 2004 and 2009 in Ottawa, there were 1,600 pedestrian-related Ottawa accidents resulting in personal injury. The Pedestrian Safety Evaluation Program aims to target 23 of the most collision-prone Ottawa intersections and make improvements for Ottawa’s pedestrian safety. The Carling-Holland intersection, which relies on a complex sequence of 14 separate lights, along with the intersection of Donald Street and Vanier Parkway will be the first to see changes.
Let’s hope we can make Ottawa a safer place and avoid as many Ottawa accidents as possible !

Ottawa Bicycle Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth, Ontario Bicycle Accident Lawyers-
Spring has sprung and the bicycles are out ! I will admit my heart skips a beat every time my four year old daughter clicks on her helmet and takes her Dora bike out. Riding a bicycle on the road can be dangerous and bicycle accidents can have lifelong implications, including ongoing medical care, pain and suffering, loss of income and may even have a devastating effect on your family. Bicycle accidents and personal injury can be the result of a negligent driver. Drivers do not always think the person on the bicycle has the same rights as does a car or motor vehicle.
Bicycle accidents can cause lifelong changes, because the rider has nothing to protect them during an accident in Ottawa or Ontario with a vehicle other than protective clothing (at best) and a helmet. The bicyclist’s helmet should always be worn as this can prevent head and brain injury. Other personal injury may include burns and cuts, or more serious personal injury includes orthopedic injury : broken bones, catastrophic injury: head injury and spine injury or traumatic brain injury. Most serious personal injury may need ongoing medical treatments, causing a change in lifestyle, employment and can be a stress emotionally, financially, and mentally. In Ontario, cyclist have rights and are entitled to compensation when a driver is negligent and causes an accident that results in personal injury.
Victims who suffer serious personal injury in Ottawa bicycle accidents and Ontario bicycle accidents needs to protect their rights to compensation with the help of an Ottawa personal injury lawyer or Ontario personal injury lawyer that understands the laws regarding bicycle accidents in Ontario, specializes in personal injury and driver negligence and can help you get back to your life as best possible.
