Ottawa lawyer David Hollingsworth reports on snowmobile accident on Sharbot Lake and sad death of Robert Lee.

Sadly a  50-year-old man died on his snowmobile late Saturday afternoon.  Robert Lee was riding his snowmobile  on Sharbot Lake. Robert Lee, from Central Frontenac Township was riding when he lost control of his snowmobile and  hit an embankment, close to 400 metres from the shore, where he had just been standing with friends. When Robert Lee’s snowmobile hit the embankment, he flew in the air and then hit the ice . Sadly, he was rushed to a nearby hospital in Perth but had already died.  Although he was wearing a helmet, sadly it was not enough to save his life. My thoughts go out to the friends and family of Robert Lee.

Ottawa lawyer David Hollingsworth wishing you a safe and happy St.Patrick’s day.

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth. I hope you have all had a safe and happy March break and I wanted to wish those celebrating St.Patrick’s day tonight or tomorrow a safe and happy celebration. The Ottawa Police,  Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are helping keep our roads safe by aiming to reduce Ontario accidents by watching out for drivers who have been drinking.  There will be several road checks (RIDE programs) all around Ottawa and surrounding areas that will be will conduct several checks to ensure drivers are not driving impaired. Last St.Patrick’s day, close to 800 drivers were pulled over and checked. 3 drivers were impaired and arrested,and another driver had their license revoked. We need to have ZERO impaired drivers on our roads. This year , the Ottawa Police are doubling their number of checkpoints in an effort to eliminate all accidents relating to impaired driving.  The main goal of this program is to prevent and eliminate accidents, deaths and serious injuries in the City Ottawa by changing culture, community engagement, and developing safe transportation. Drinking and driving is not an option.  The options are abstaining from alcohol, taxis, buses, designated drivers, walking, or sleeping over. Please, please don’t drink and drive, plan ahead. Enjoy St. Patrick’s day in a safe and happy way.

Ontario insurance accident benefits claims: Can a relative make a claim on my insurance?

Ottawa Insurance Claims Lawyers David Hollingsworth and Associates

Yes, any person injured in an automobile accident in Ontario can make an insurance. This includes claim their relatives and/or dependents. There are some limitations to their insurance claim if one has broken the law during the accident in Ontario. If this is the case, they cannot receive income replacement benefits, visitors expenses, non-earner benefits, lost education expenses, expenses of visitors and the housekeeping and home maintenance benefits.

The person injured may claim these benefits from their own insurance company. If they do not have an insurance company, they can claim it at the driver at-fault’s insurance company. If none of the persons involved have insurance, the claim can be made through the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund.

Regardless if you have been at fault or not or have insurance or not, we can help you. There are options. We understand the stress you are going through and can help.

Ottawa Police accident reports. How to file an accident report in Ottawa.

Ottawa Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth and Associates. Ottawa Police have developed a new system that will hopefully help Ottawa motorists who have been involved in Ottawa accidents.  There will now be  3 collision reporting centres in Ottawa.  The Ottawa Accident reporting centres will be at Elgin, Huntmar Drive and 10th Line Road. There are approximately 18,000 vehicular accidents each year in Ottawa. Ottawa Police respond to 70% of these Ottawa accidents and the average accident takes 2 1/2 hours of police time to complete.  If people start using the reporting centre it could save up to 9,000 hours.

I would like to know what you think about this?  Do you think you would use these centres or would you call the police to the accident scene?

Are Ontario snowmobile accidents entitled to Ontario accident benefits ?

There are far too many snowmobile accidents each year. A tragic snowmobile accident took another life: the life of  a 24 year old man in Val des Monts yesterday.  My thoughts go out to his family and friends and I am truly sorry for their loss.  I have many clients who have injured themselves while snowmobiling . A snowmobile is considered a motor vehicle and yes, Ontario accident benefits apply to snowmobile accidents.  So the good news is there is support and compensation for people who suffer injuries in snowmobile accidents.   The bad news is, there seem to be a lot of snowmobile accidents in our region and some of them are sadly,  fatal. Please ride safely…

Transport Canada  has prepared an amazing site full of interesting information that relates to road and snowmobile safety. For example, did you know that there are over 700,000 registered snowmobiles and more than 161,000 km of snowmobile trails in Canada?  Snowmobiling can be safe and enjoyable. As long as drivers are cautious and follow safety rules, there is no reason not to get out and enjoy a fantastic sport.

The Canadian Council of Snowmobile Organizations or CCSO highlighted that between the years of 1994 and 1999, when promoting safety and  snowmobiling became a focus, snowmobile accident fatalities dropped by 2% – from 96 to 94 deaths;however the number of snowmobile drivers increased by 40%. This goes to show that more and more people can ride safely ,when safety is a focus.

Snowmobiling safety tips:

  • Tell someone where you plan to go and when you plan to get there.
  • Ensure that your snowmobile is tuned up.
  • Dress properly to protect yourself and avoid hypothermia, especially in children. 
  • Always have a  first aid and survival kit available.
  • Ride at your own speed.
  • Try to use snowmobile trails whenever possible.
  • Remain on the right side of all roads, paths and trails.
  • If you don’t know  the area, slow down and drive cautiously.
  • Be careful crossing roads and train tracks.
  • At night, drive with headlights and slow down.
  • Know the  ice conditions and if you are unsure, do not cross.
  • Always  wear flotation-type clothing.
  • Always be on the look out for wildlife.

It’s impossible to completely avoid all accidents but please, let’s try.  Snowmobiling does not need to be a dangerous sport.  Be safe and ride as safely as possible. Enjoy !
