Ottawa Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth and Associates…Ottawa Police have laid more than 500 charges as a result of Ottawa’s Selective Traffic Enforcement Program. Last month, Ottawa Police pulled over 229 distracted drivers and 275 drivers in Ottawa were caught not wearing a seatbelt. I’m very surprised by these statistics and urge ALL drivers and passengers to wear a seatbelt and put away all electronic devices. It’s absolutely imperative that when you are driving , you are absolutely focussing on the road and your surroundings. Distracted driving not only jeopardizes your life, but the lives of others. Please, please drive safely.I know it is tempting to answer that call, or respond to a text, but there is a time and place for everything and driving is no the time or place. I hope to see these staggering statistics lower in Ottawa.

What are Ontario Accident Benefits Insurance Claims ?
When you or a loved one is involved in an Ontario accident, the first step toward making a claim is to contact your own insurance company. This is the case regardless of whether or not you are at fault, whether you are a pedestrian, or whether you were a passenger in a vehicle. Your own insurance company will be responsible for providing you with Ontario Accident Benefits. Ontario Accident Benefits are designed to provide you with all of the medical treatments that you need, medications, assistance with housekeeping and homemaking, attendant care (someone to help you with your own personal care), other family expenses, income replacement or caregiver or non-earner benefits, occupational therapy assistance, assistive devices, job re-training, as well as other benefits.
Filling out the insurance forms can be a time consuming, confusing and frustrating task. Don’t let this stop you from getting what you help you need and deserve. David and his team of personal injury professionals will help you complete these forms. If you plan to pursue the other driver for compensation for pain and suffering, loss of income or medical or other expenses, you must first apply to receive Ontario Accident Benefits.
Let David tell you more about the importance of making an Ontario Accident Benefits claim and maximizing these benefits.

Ottawa Pedestrian Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth, Dwyer Hill Road is now reopened after car accident involving a pedestrian who was out for a jog last Sunday morning between Fallowfield and Flewellyn roads. The 36 year old female accident victim suffered very serious personal injuries when she was hit by a car and thrust into a ditch sometime around 10 a.m. She was knocked unconscious and suffered a severe head injury, possibly a brain injury. Ottawa Paramedics had to immobilize her spinal cord for fear of a spinal cord injury, as well as set up several intravenous lines and dressings before moving her by air ambulance to the Ottawa trauma centre. Thankfully, Ottawa Police reported that her personal injuries were not life-threatening. It was reported that nearby residents came to her aid and remained with her until help arrived. I hope to be able to give you an update on extent of the personal injuries.

Ottawa Bicycle Accidents, Cycling safety in Ottawa : What to look for in a helmet.
Ottawa Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth, Ottawa Bicycle Accident Lawyer. Did you know that bicycle helmets can prevent up to 88 % of brain injuries when used properly?
Earlier this month, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson announced June 5, 2011 as Helmet Day in the City of Ottawa to support the avoidance of personal injuries and to emphasize the importance of wearing proper safety head gear while being active.
“We are very fortunate in Ottawa to have an environment that is well-suited to cycling and in-line skating,” said the Mayor . He made it clear how supportive he was of an active, but safe lifestyle. “We are encouraging all residents to purchase an appropriate helmet before enjoying their favourite summer activities.”
We all know how important it is whether we are riding a bicycle or strapping on in-line skates to take safety precautions to protect ourselves; however, we don’t always do. The awareness is there and still coming , but not everyone is strapping on a helmet and some are strapping on helmets that are inadequate and would not protect them. The City of Ottawa continues to make efforts to keep residents safe and raise awareness of helmet safety in the hopes of preventing severe head injuries.
How do help reduce your chances of a severe head injury:
1-Make sure there is a CSA or CPSC certification on the helmet.
2-All helmets should fit level and square on the head, and the front should be 2 fingers distance from the helmet to eyebrows. The helmet straps should be adjusted to meet just below the ear in a V shape, and fastened comfortably.
3-All helmets should have a snug fit, allowing only one finger between the chin strap and your chin.
4-Proper helmets must be worn by all cyclists who are under the age of 18. I recommend that EVERYONE should wear a helmet to protect themselves from serious head injuries.
Each year, approximately 5,700 Ottawa area children under the age of 20 visit Ottawa hospital emergency rooms for serious head injuries. Sport activities make up a large percentage of head injuries among children and youth.
As an Ontario injury lawyer, I meet regularly with Ontario accident victims who have suffered severe head injuries and their lives have been altered forever. I urge everyone to please equip themselves with a proper helmet. It could save your life !

Ottawa Police : Canada Road Safety Week , Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Ottawa Resources, safety on May 27th, 2011
Ottawa Law Firms – Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…As an Ontario Personal Injury Lawyer, I applaud and support the efforts made by the Ottawa Police to make our Ottawa streets a safer place….The Ottawa Police Service will participate in Canada Road Safety Week which runs from May 16 to May 23. In 2010, there were 30 fatal car accidents that resulted in the deaths of 34 people in the Ottawa community. Consequently, the Ottawa Police have made traffic safety a high priority through various initiatives. One program the Ottawa Police have put in place is the RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) Programs during the evenings of Thursday May 19th and Friday May 20th. The RIDE Program in Ontario is led by the police community which runs all year long and involves random police spot checks where vehicles are stopped and drivers are checked for impaired driving.
Ottawa Police are also actively engaged in Project E.R.A.S.E. (Eliminate Racing Activity on Streets Everywhere) a collaborative effort of 22 police services, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment whose goal is to change poor driver behavior through education and strategic enforcement. Sadly, since 1999 48 people have been killed in Ontario as a result of street racing activities . In addition, excessive speed continues to be the leading contributing factor in fatal car accidents.
During Canada’s Road Safety Week, Ottawa police will focus on 4 issues:
- Drinking and driving.
- Seat belts and child restraints.
- Aggressive driving, driving at unsafe speeds, following too closely or running red lights and stop signs.
- Distracted Driving
As an Ottawa personal injury lawyer and along with the Ottawa Police, encourage everyone on our roadways to work towards making our Ottawa roads and Ontario roads the safest in the world. Let’s do it Ottawa !

Ottawa Cycling Safety, Ottawa Bicycle Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth
Ottawa bicycle injury lawyer David Hollingsworth on bicycle safety.
The weather is still okay and many are out and about with their bicycles on our roads here in Ottawa. Sadly, Ottawa bicycle accidents continue to occur and people are injured everyday day in our communities. There has been talk for years regarding the implementation of a “safe cycling educational” campaign or program here in Ottawa, but I think that we need to make progress more quickly. Consider the tragedies:
Just consider the serious injuries and deaths in the last little while here in Ottawa. This month, a 71-year-old cyclist fought for his life in hospital secondary to a collision with an automobile on Hawthorne Road. Alex Hayes, another tragic story, an innocent high school student, killed by a vehicle while riding his bicycle. . Another tragedy involved a 48-year-old cyclist, killed due to head and neck injuries on Somerset St at night. John Barton, 53, another cyclist killed recently while on the road. And finally, 16-year-old Robin Freeman killed while cyclist after contact with a motorcycle (both motorcyclist and Freeman were killed).
There are steps you can take to protect you and your loved ones from injury and death while bicycling. Overall, if you decide to cycle, make it a lifestyle decision. This means opening your mind to the requirements of bicycle culture and bicycle safety. Avoiding collisions with vehicles is never a guarantee, but you can take certain steps to reduce your chance of injury. For example, using a bicycle or helmet headlight, wearing protective and reflective clothing, and enhancing your bicycle can make you more visible. Buying a horn can give you the attention you need when you need it. Slow down and paying attention to your surroundings is key. Choosing wide, slower streets, and on weekends, back streets because they can be safer on Saturday and Sundays, for example, because of the increase in drunk vehicle traffic on main streets. You can’t control other people’s driving but please do everything you can to protect yourself. Thanks for reading everyone, and please ride safely!
