Ottawa Accident ? How to report an accident in Ottawa.
The Ottawa Police services has a comprehensive website with valuable information for Ottawa residents. I stumbled across their accident reporting information and thought I’d share it with you.
- A police report is not required when damage to all vehicles is under $1,000.
- If there are personal injuries and the vehicle(s) cannot be driven, 9-1-1 should be contacted.
- If there are no personal injuries, but the vehicle(s) cannot be driven, call 613-230-6211
- If the vehicle(s) can be safely driven and there are no personal injuries, drive all vehicles to the same Police Station and file an accident report. Important to note: Accident reports cannot be taken over the phone.
The Ottawa Police Collision Investigation Unit is responsible for investigating all fatal and serious life threatening motor accidents. They also investigate hit and run/ fail to remain accidents.
If in doubt call the police and ask them what to do.Your next call may be to an Ottawa personal injury lawyer. They can advise you whether or not you may need a lawyer and whether its best to let them speak with your insurance company. Make sure to gather as much evidence as you can. Take pictures, write down the sequence of events in as much detail as possible. Most of all, take care of yourself first. Ensure you are safe and that you are not injured. If you think you might be seek medical attention immediately. The rest can wait.

Steps in an Ontario personal injury lawsuit : What is a settlement conference ?
Ontario personal injury lawyer David Hollingsworth …Steps Ontario personal injury lawsuits: What is an Ontario Settlement Conference ?
Before the Ontario settlement conference, your Ontario personal injury lawyer will prepare on your behalf a settlement conference brief. The settlement brief will outline to both the judge and the insurance company what you are seeking in compensation and provide a history of your injuries. Your settlement brief outlines the evidence and why we believe you are entitled to receive maximum compensation for damages. This is sent for the judge to review prior to the settlement conference.
Your Ontario personal injury lawyer will attend the settlement conference with you. Your Ontario personal injury lawyer is there to represent you and will present your case to the Ontario court. In turn, they will counsel with you and together you can determine how you want to proceed. Often times, the insurance company will offer to settle at this stage based on what has transpired at the settlement conference. Only you and your Ontario personal injury lawyer can decide if you accept the settlement. Your Ontario personal injury lawyer will provide you with advice but ultimately the decision will be yours.

Steps Ontario personal injury lawsuits :What is an examination for discovery ?
Ottawa Ontario Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth www.ottawainjury.ca Steps of an Ontario Personal Injury Lawsuit : Examination for Discovery
What is an Examination for Discovery in an Ontario personal injury lawsuit? An examination for discovery is a very important step of an Ontario personal injury lawsuit. It allows for questions to be asked under oath. It also allows both sides to share documents that relate to the Ontario personal injury lawsuit. All parties in an Ontario law suit have an obligation to list and give copies of all documents that are relevant to the Ontario personal injury law suit in a sworn affidavit. This is often the time when additional evidence will surface. This is also the stage in an Ontario personal injury lawsuit when the insurance company will be able to ask the accident victim questions. Not to worry, your Ontario personal injury lawyer will be there to ensure that all the questions being asked are fair. Your Ontario personal injury lawyer will also prepare you for an examination for discovery ahead of time so you know what to expect. A court reporter will also be present to record the examination for discovery.
Sometimes in an examination for discovery, a question may be asked and the witness does not know the answer. Often times the Ontario personal injury lawyer and the lawyer for the insurance company will agree that the question can be answered later in writing as an undertaking. Your Ontario personal injury lawyer will help prepare the undertaking and assist you in answering any undertakings.
An examination for discovery often “gets all the cards out on the table”. The examination for discovery gives both sides a clear picture of all the facts in the Ontario personal injury law suit and allows for better communication and better chances of settling the Ontario personal injury lawsuit before it goes to court.
If you have any questions at all about your Ontario accident or your Ontario personal injury lawsuit, fell free to contact us.

Questions to ask your Ottawa Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Law Firms
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Car Accidents, Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Ottawa Resources, Personal Injury Claims on February 7th, 2011
Questions to ask your Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers
During the selection process, you may become overwhelmed with the sheer number of Ottawa personal injury lawyers. A good place to start is the local Bar Association; they can usually recommend a few lawyers that might be appropriate to your case. What falls to you, however, is investigating these lawyers to ensure you find the right one for you. You will want to interview all prospective injury lawyers and be sure to ask them plenty of questions. It usually helps to write a list of your questions beforehand and go down the list, checking off each question when you get a satisfactory answer. If, during the interview, you feel that they are brushing you off or do not have time for you, consider how you would feel if you hired them to help you and they did the same thing. The way they treat you during the interview is often reflective of how they will treat you during your case, so pay close attention.
Ask them questions about their track record. How many wins do they have out of how many cases? How often do they take cases to court? How long have they been working on cases like yours? What are typical settlements that they have won for cases like yours? While you are interviewing potential Ottawa personal injury lawyers, the answers to these questions are probably the most critical. The purpose is to ascertain how likely this lawyer is to win your case, and how far are they willing to take the case before conceding to the insurance companies. They should have far more wins than losses and they should not be afraid to take insurance companies to court.
Find out if they specialize in any specific type of injury or accident. There are Ottawa personal injury lawyers who specialize in car accidents, work-related accidents, slips/falls, and all sorts of other types of accidents or injuries. By finding out there specialization you can decide whether their specialty is in line with your type of injury. If they are a great lawyer but they specialize in car accidents, while your case is a work-related accident, they are not the best lawyer for your specific case.
Settle on a cost before starting your case. Ask each of the Ottawa personal injury lawyers how they calculate their rates. Choose a lawyer who will cover the costs of your case as it moves along, then take an agreed upon amount out of the settlement. This way you are not being charged more and more as the case proceeds and you have an agreement as to what appropriate costs for reimbursement would be. If you decide to hire this particular lawyer, make sure that you have a written and signed contract specifying the calculation of the rate and how it will be paid.
Once all of your questions have been answered, compare and contrast different Ottawa personal injury lawyers based on their responses. Based on this comparison, you can confidently select the right lawyer for you.

Ontario Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers, Ottawa Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth..
Every day, someone in Canada suffers a spinal cord injury (“SCI”). This is the sad but real reality of spinal cord injuries. They are happening all the time. More than 80,000 Canadians currently live with some form of Spinal Cord Injury. Sadly, this number is expected to climb. A report by the Urban Futures Institute estimates that roughly 86,000 individuals currently have spinal cord injuries in Canada. Tragically, this number is set to increase to 121,000 by 2030. That’s an increase of 35,000 in less than 19 years. Too high a number, in my opinion because we should be learning how to better prevent such injuries from occurring. The statistics are grim. Roughly 48,243 people with SCI’s are fully paralyzed, while 30,324 can still make use of their arms. Individuals with SCI will spend an average 140 days in hospital, and will die 15 to 30 years earlier than the average person with an average life expectancy. That’s because victims of SCI are more susceptible to medical complications like urinary tract infections, pressure ulcers, pneumonia and mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. Christopher Reeve, for example, is a tragic and iconic example of a SCI victim dying of the enumerated causes – namely, depression and pressure ulcers. It is ironic that even the invincible and iconic superman of our generation was not invincible enough to avoid a spinal cord injury. These injuries are serious and can happen to anyone. So please take care and exercise caution in situations where you or your loved ones could be at risk.
