Is your car messy? If so, it could cause an accident that may result in personal injury, lawyer David Hollingsworth shares…

Ottawa Injury Lawyer , Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth…I came across this information on the Canada Safety Council Website and wanted to share it with you..in the hopes that you will think twice about the condition of the interior of your car..I know it sure made me think….
The Perils of Messy Cars
Messy cars with loose objects can send dangerous flying projectiles if you brake quickly or if you are involved in a collision. Some car designs also allow larger items stored in the back such as grocery bags, suitcases or golf clubs to fly out and strike passengers. This is a hazard that can cause very serious injury. It is especially interesting to note that when you brake suddenly to avoid a risk, these flying objects may end up being the only damage done or the only injury sustained.
Investigate the possibility of installing a barrier to prevent objects from flying forward from open trunk space and don’t allow other objects to remain loose in the car. The National Roads and Motorists’ Association claim that if you brake suddenly while traveling at 50kmh, groceries in the back seat will hit you with the same force as if they had fallen from a two-storey building. A one-litre bottle of water could hit with a weight of 20 kilograms. When a car decelerates violently, the force of gravity can mean a loose object packs 20 times the punch it would normally. It is worthwhile to take a moment and secure loose objects before traveling.
Consider also that at high speeds, a passenger or a pet that is not wearing a seatbelt becomes a deadly projectile in the event of a collision. Make seatbelts mandatory and consider a cargo cage or a pet harness/seatbelt.
Finally, objects such as cans of soda pop, rolling loose on the car floor have been known to lodge themselves under the driver’s foot pedals. This could lead to malfunctioning brakes and a very precarious situation. Bottom line, keep cars tidy and free of loose objects to avoid distractions and hazardous driving conditions.

Ottawa accidents and black ice. Lawyer- avoiding personal injury.
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Car Accidents, Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Ottawa Resources, safety on February 6th, 2010
As an Ottawa personal injury lawyer, I have a large number of my car accident victims come to me and describe their Ottawa car accident or Ontario car accident. In the last month, there have been an incredible number of Ottawa car accidents due the ice conditions here in Ottawa and in Eastern Ontario. I want to remind everyone the dangers of icy roads and black ice while driving and hopefully avoid any further Ottawa accidents and Ontario accidents as well as reduce the number of Ottawa accidents and Ontario accidents resulting in personal injury. When Ontario roads are slick with ice, please be extra cautious to avoid car accidents and personal injury. Unfortunately black ice is very difficult to see and can result in serious personal injury or even death due to a car accident.”
When people can’t see the ice, they think it’s not there…but IT CAN BE !!! “Most accident victims don’t notice the ice on the road until it is too late,” says Ottawa personal injury lawyer David Hollingsworth. “You have to automatically assume that if there is a chill in the air, there will likely be ice, SO please… slow down and avoid a car accident.” I know a lot of this seems obvious and maybe even repetitive. It never hurts to remind everyone to slow it down because goodness knows we are all always rushing around from one thing to the next…

Tailgating- major cause of Ottawa car accidents, Ottawa lawyer reports..
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Car Accidents, Ottawa Resources, safety on January 8th, 2010
Ottawa Car Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth reports..
The Ottawa Police have a new year’s resolution to target tailgating and those who failto obey stop signs. For the month of Janueary, the city of Ottawa and Ottawa police, will focus on drivers who follow the vehicle ahead too closely and those who don’t stop properly at stop signs. Tailgating caused 4,716 rear-end collisions in 2007 — the most frequent type of crash accounting for one-third of Ottawa’s car accidents. These collisions resulted in 4 Ottawa wrongful deaths and 1,470 Ottawa personal injuries — 17 of them life-threatening. Meanwhile, drivers who failed to stop at stop signs caused close to 1,700 Ottawa car accidnts in 2007, resulting in 8 wrongful deaths and 588 personal injuries — 27 of them life-threatening.
It seems pretty simple to me. Keep your distance- it’s a very easy way to save lives and avoid personal injury.
