Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Ottawa Resources on August 18th, 2010
Ottawa Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyers David Hollingsworth:
If you have been involved in an Ontario accident, whether or not you immediately feel pain or symptoms of a personal injury, here are suggestions to follow:
1. First and foremost, remain calm.
2. Call the Ontario police and report the accident.
3. Take pictures of your vehicle, the other other vehicle, the Ontario accident scenes, bruises, cuts and scrapes..
4. Seek medical assistance (even if you feel you are not injured).
5. Consult with an Ontario personal injury lawyer.
6. Do not provide any statements or sign any documents without your Ontario personal injury lawyer present.
7. When dealing with police officers at the scene, provide those facts that you know to be the truth; do not speculate what you think happened.
Call your insurance company:
1. Do not permit the statement to be recorded. Follow the advice given to you by your Ontario personal injury lawyer.
2. Ensure you are given adequate time to give your statement. Don’t let the insurance company rush you; you may forget something important you feel rushed, you may tend to forget important points.
3. Bring all information with you such as the location of the Ontario accident, time, date, insurance information, and any witnesses.
4. Remember that you can decline to answer any question for any reason. (Obtain your Ontario personal injury lawyer’s advice if need be)
5. Answer only what you are asked, nothing more. Avoid giving more detail than needed.
6. Do not sign anything without advice from your Ontario personal injury lawyer.
While some of this advice may seem a little bit much, it is important for you to remember that your insurance company may hire a private investigator , and may fight paying you the benefits you need and are entitled to.
Drive safely and be careful out there on Ontario roads ! Do everything you can to avoid an accident.

Check your car tires..Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth
Ottawa personal injury lawyer David Hollingsworth Ottawa Accident Lawyer..Wishing everyone out there a great and safe long weekend. Pleased rive, swim, bike, ride and boat safely !!!
According to Department of Transport Road Accident Statistics, the number of car accidents caused by weather and snow covered roads increase in winter by 267 percent. Obviously we can’t control the weather conditions but we can reduce car accident statistics considerably by replacing the tires according to the weather conditions. Many Ontario residents and those who live in colder areas, change their car tires prior to start of winter season and again in spring or summer. This is done for the sake of safety as the experienced car drivers know that the ambient temperature is directly related with their tires performance. The research also indicates that ambient temperatures below 7 degrees celcius potentially trigger hazardous driving conditions. Insurance companies statistics also support this view stating that the increase in car accident damage insurance claims increases drastically with the onset of colder weather. This is why it is extremely important to ensure you have tires that are in good condition. Test rides have proved that whenever temperatures go below 7ºC, tire rubber become hard and that results in less road grip. Fitting cold weather tires to our vehicles before winter season is the best solution to drive safely, even during the winter, rainy or snowing season, when temperatures are likely to go down below 7C. Cold weather tires provide better mileage while normal tires reduce the mileage up to 20 %. Cold weather tires contain more rubber that minimizes the hardening effect and gives extra grip in wet, cold or icy conditions. As a result, we get shorter breaking distances. Although it may be a hassle, spending a few minutes for tires replacement at the change of weather twice a year for the sake of safety is not only justified, it is essential. Even after adapting this practice, don’t forget to continually check the tires condition and pressure regularly.

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

–David Hollingsworth, Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer
Late this morning, an Ottawa garbage truck was involved in an accident with a car. The impact from the garbage truck was so hard, that it turned the truck on it’s side and ended up demolishing the car by splitting it in half. 3 people were sent to an Ottawa hospital, which includes a baby. The Ottawa accident occurred close to the intersection of Hunt Club and Conroy Road. The driver of the truck was sent to an Ottawa hospital with a head and neck. He is currently in serious, but thankfully stable condition. The driver of the car remains in serious condition in an Ottawa hospital. She is being treated for a fractured pelvis, fractured leg, as well as internal injury.

Ottawa slip and fall accident ? Ottawa lawyer David Hollingsworth-questions..
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Personal Injury Claims, safety on January 27th, 2010
Ottawa Ontario slip and fall lawyer David Hollingsworth explains the dangers and factors involved in a slip and fall accident in Ontario.
What compensation might I be eligible for a slip and fall accident in Ontario? Compensation for an Ontario slip and fall accident is similar to all Ontario personal injury claims. Recovery may include: medical bills, wage loss, pain and suffering, and potential future medical expenses
What information is an Ontario insurance adjuster looking for after a slip and fall accident?
An Ontario insurance adjuster in Ottawa will likely attempt to establish if there is a personal injury and what your role was in the fall, and may attempt to negotiate the case with you immediately. They may ask you such questions as:
What is the extent of your personal injury, as a result of the slip and fall accident
What were you doing just before the slip and fall accident
Warnings that may have been ignored resulting in the slip and fall accident
Whether you had a reason for being in the area
Note: It is generally not advisable to speak with the insurance adjuster without having reviewed the specifics of your Ontario personal injury case with an Ontario lawyer, specializing in personal injury.
What is a hazardous condition? And who is responsible for it?
A “hazardous condition” is a situation where there is potential for personal injury. Hazardous conditions can be permanent or temporary (as in the case of ice on the sidewalk). Property owners are often responsible for permanent conditions, because they should have known about the potentially dangerous situation. Personal injury can also occur due to temporary conditions they may not have had knowledge of may not be their responsibility. Often time becomes a factor in temporary hazards is figuring out whether the owner have the opportunity to realize the situation and correct it to avoid personal injury and accidents?
Who is responsible for a slip and fall accident? The owner or the person injured?
The property owner as well as the person with the personal injury can be held to varying degrees of responsibility for a personal injury. The property owner has a responsibility to keep their property safe. Each person has a duty to watch where they are going, as well as realize that there are things that fall or spill onto walking surfaces.
I came across this information in a related blog post at lawyers.com. I have shared it or parts of it with you because I found it very useful information that relates to personal injury and safety.

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.
