Ottawa accident Rushmore and Eagleson results in wrongful death
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Injury and Accidents on June 19th, 2012
Personal Injury Lawyers Ottawa Ontario…Sadly, one woman died , following an Ottawa accident near the intersection of Rushmore and Eagleson. Ottawa firefighters helped remove the trapped 37 year old woman from the accident scene, where she suffered a critical head injury and lost vital signs en route to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. My thoughts go out to her family and friends at this terribly difficult time.

Ottawa Bicycle Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth on Ottawa cycling safety.
Ottawa Bicycle Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth.. I recently found a great website : Citizens for Safe Cycling . It’s a website dedicated to Ottawa cyclists. It is filled with all sorts of information that relate to Ottawa bicycle safety, events for Ottawa cyclists and Ottawa cycling news and projects. One of the articles on the site dealt with cyclists getting “doored”. The following are tips I found on this site for both Ottawa drivers and Ottawa cyclists on avoiding a cycling accident.
Ottawa Cyclists:
One of the safest ways to avoid an accident is to ride your bicycle at least one metre away from other vehicles. That is the best way to prevent getting injured by having a door open in your face. A car door can spring open in a second. If a cyclist is passing by at that very moment, it’s almost impossible avoiding being hit by the door, resulting in you. This type of bicycle accident is far to common in Ottawa and a major cause of downtown cycling accidents. These cycling accidents can be avoided.
Ottawa drivers and Ottawa cycling accidents:
Everyone is responsible on the road. As a driver, you are responsible for checking for oncoming traffic. This includes cyclists. They are much smaller than a car and therefore harder to see; however, before opening your car door, you must thoroughly check for any oncoming traffic. If you fail to do so and it results in an accident, you will be charged under section 165 of the Highway Traffic Act.
Ottawa cyclists and Ottawa cycling accidents:
The best way to avoid a cycling accident is to remain out of the door zone which about one metre away from a car. Also cyclist should avoid passing on the right if there’s not enough space to pass. Cyclist should always use extra space in the lane in order to stay away from the cars, even if it means that you hold up traffic or force them to pass you outside of the lane. If you need to move left to do this, remember to always signal and shoulder check first.
It’s practically impossible for cyclists to see ahead of time whether a vehicle door is going to open. Tinted windows and high headrests make it extremely difficult to see from behind if a car is occupied, and a door could fly open at any given moment.
Cycling is such a great activity and means of transportation around Ottawa. Let’s all work to gether to reduce the number of Ottawa cycling accidents and deaths related to cycling accidents this spring and summer. Happy and safe cycling Ottawa !

Avoiding Ontario Accidents , Lawyer David Hollingsworth Shares Highway Driving Safety Tips
Ottawa Lawyers, Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth…Many of you will be heading out of town for this long weekend. Whatever you may be celebrating this weekend, Passover, Easter, Ridvan etc…I want to wish everyone a safe and happy long weekend. If you are hitting Ontario highways, here are a few things to keep in mind to avoid a car accident in Ontario.
-David Hollingsworth, Ontario Accident Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer
Avoiding Ontario Car Accidents: Follow Ontario Speed Limits…
For your safety and the safety of others, always obey the speed limit posted on Ontario highway signs along Ontario roads and highways, but more importantly always drive a speed that allows you stop safely. Try to drive at the same speed as traffic surrounding you without going over the speed limit. In Ontario cities, towns, villages and suburb areas where there are no posted speed limit signs, the maximum speed is 50 km/h. Elsewhere the maximum speed limit is Ontario is 80 km/h.
Ontario Accidents: Highway Driving Safety Tips:
Slow down in bad weather, in heavy traffic or in a construction zone; Slow down at night, especially on dark roads; Always follow at a safe distance, at least 2 car lengths behind the vehicle in front of you.
If you are charged for speeding at 50 km/h over the speed limit, Ontario police will suspend your licence and impound your vehicle at the roadside. Please be careful when driving through Ontario construction areas. To avoid an accident in Ontario, slow down when approaching work zones and be ready to stop at a seconds notice. Most importantly, be patient if there is traffic . If your lane is blocked , yield to the driver coming from the opposite direction. When it is clear, move slowly and carefully around the accident. Use common sense. Observing speed limits means more than obeying the posted speed: it means reacting to road conditions. When it’s raining or foggy, when ice is on the road, when traffic is heavy or when road construction is ahead, adjust your driving speed accordingly.
Ontario Car Accidents: Driving Safely on the Right….
Watch for signs on Ontario highways that read “Left Lane For Passing Only.” Slower Traffic Keep to Right: These signs let you know that the left lane on an Ontario highway is not a “fast” lane; it is a passing lane. If you pass someone, move into the right lane once you’ve safely cleared the vehicle. Slowing down the flow of traffic by continuing to drive in the left lane is not only dangerous but can result in a fine in Ontario.
Ontario Highways Accidents: Truck Accidents
Trucks can weigh close to 85,000 pounds and take extra time to stop. Drive cautiously on a highway that has several large trucks. Maintain a safe following distance. Don’t squeeze between trucks and the curb. Trucks make wide right turns, and the truck driver may not see you.When passing a truck, don’t move back into your lane until you can see both truck headlights in your rearview mirror. Make sure to give yourself enough room. Trucks have blind spots of up to 20 feet in front of the tractor, anywhere along the sides of the trailer and up to 200 feet behind the trailer. Keep that in mind. Never drive behind a truck that is backing up.
Avoid Ontario Highway Accidents by Moving Over..
When you approach an emergency vehicle with flashing lights, move a lane away , or slow down well below the posted speed limit.
Some Ontario Highway Accidents Could be Avoided From Simply Resting…
It takes a split second to lose your focus. Maybe you can’t stop yawning? Your thoughts wander or you’re drifting between lanes? You need to be alert ! Get plenty of rest before you hit Ontario highways. Get out of your vehicle and stretch your legs every so often. Take a break for 20 minutes at each stop. Yes, it will add time to your trip..but what is more important? Try to avoid driving between midnight and 6 a.m. Never drink and drive - small amounts of alcohol can impair your judgment and your reaction time.
Stop at Ontario Highway Rest Areas….
Take a break and advantage of the Ontario Highway Rest Areas and Ontario Information Centres. At most stops, you can get information on restaurants, road conditions, gas stations, snacks, area tourists stops etc…plus most often they have picnic tables and washrooms…a great place to stop for a packed lunch or snack.
Please, drive safely out there !!!

Ottawa car accident, Child -serious head injury and remains in critical condition.
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Brain Injury / Head Injury, Ottawa Car Accidents, Ottawa Injury and Accidents on January 31st, 2011
Child- head injury, serious critical injuries…Ottawa Accident, Lawyer David Hollingsworth…update: The Ottawa Citizen newspaper featured a beautiful picture of the family today. Luca Ruggiero remains in critical condition, 3 days following this terrible Ottawa accident. My thoughts continue to be with this little guy and his family. Luca suffered a very serious head injury and part of his skull had to be removed to relieve pressure caused by swelling. He is still fighting for his life. Thankkfully I can report that his parents Jimmy Ruggiero and mother Katy Hogg-Ruggerio are better and have been released from hospital and their unborn baby was unharmed. I wish little Luka a smooth, healthy and full recovery…..
A serious accident in Ottawa occurred last night. As a father of 3 children, one that is 2 1/2 years old, I am extremely sad to report of this serious Ottawa car accident that sent a 2 1/2 year old child to an Ottawa hospital with life threatening personal injuries and possibly a serious head injury. It has been reported that he is fighting for his life. The Ottawa accident occurred at Carp Road and Richardson Side Road last night. The young boy was airlifted to CHEO . Also travelling with the young child were 2 other accident victims. The driver had neck, arm and leg injuries, while the passenger, who was eight months pregnant, had neck injuries. Both were said to be in stable condition upon arrival at hospital. My thoughts are with this family. I hope to be able to report that the young boy will be ok and will recover fully from this car accident, along with the adults in the vehicle, and the unborn child.
