Ottawa accident at gas station sends man to hospital with severe hip injury.

Personal Injury Lawyer Ottawa David Hollingsworth and Associates . The Ottawa Citizen reported that a 57 year-old man was injured during an accident Saturday night at a Petro Canada gas station in the west end of Ottawa at Greenbank and Fallowfield roads close to 9:20 pm. The man appeared to be pumping gas at the time of the accident. It appears that a pick up truck and another  car were involved in an accident , which continued onto the gas station property and knocked over a gas pump. Thankfully, the gas spill did not erupt into flames. The man was rushed to an Ottawa hospital to be treated for a  severe hip injury and thankfully  he was listed in stable condition.

Killaloe accident- mother and toddler airlifted to Ottawa Hospital Trauma Centre.

Ontario Injury Lawyers David Hollingsworth and Associates…

A terrible Killaloe accident has left a mother and one of her children in a Ottawa hospital with serious injuries. Kristen Birney was driving a minivan with her four children inside the vehicle when it was hit by another vehicle turning from Opeongo Road onto Letter Kenny Road at about 5 o’clock last night. The OPP are looking to press careless driving charges against the 67 year old driver that struck the minivan. The result was that Kristen and her 3 year old toddler were airlifted to the Ottawa Hospital Civic campus in critical condition. The OPP are continuing in their investigation. If you have any information that could help police, please contact the OPP.  My thoughts are with Kristen, her young child and their family at this difficult time and I’m wishing them both FULL recoveries.  Thankfully they are in excellent  hands at the Ottawa Hospital.

Ottawa expecting freezing rain: slow down and watch your step.

Ottawa Accident Lawyers David Hollingsworth and Associates…Believe it or not they are forecasting freezing rain for today in the Ottawa and Ottawa valley regions.  Many drivers have already removed their snow tires , so please , please drive safely out there. Make sure you leave enough room between yourself and the vehicle in front of you. It is recommended that you always leave at least 2 car lengths between your vehicle and the next. I would also recommend you leave even more space when driving in difficult driving conditions such as freezing rain and black ice. I also recommend you give yourself a little extra time to arrive at your destination. You will need to adjust your driving speed in these conditions and slow it down a little. Hopefully all drivers are slowing down a little .  You may need an extra few minutes to arrive safely, but at least  you will.

An other note, watch your step if you are out walking today. Steps, sidewalks, roads and landings will be slippery. Watch where you walk. Hold on to railings

Whatever you may doing ,use caution and common sense.  A little extra time and a little more effort can prevent accidents and injuries.  Have a great, safe Sunday !

Ottawa Injury Lawyer on what are timelines, cut off dates and statutes of limitations after an an accident in Ontario.

Ottawa Insurance Claims Lawyers David Hollingsworth and Associates…What are the timelines or cut off points for filing a law suit or making an insurance claim after an accident in Ontario? the timelines or cut off dates are known as statutes of limitations in Ontario for a car accident. If you or a loved one has suffered personal injury in a Ontario accident there is a 2 year period whereby you must start your claim.  If you miss this 2 year mark, you may not be entitled to compensation from your insurance company, if you have been paying your premiums along the way.  This situation often occurs because people do not realise the extent of their personal injuries until long after their accident. There are however some exceptions to this rule.
The Ontario Limitations Act is complex; however it does take special circumstances into consideration.  As an experienced Ottawa personal injury lawyer, I have had success in the past where I have been able to help clients get compensation , even though they did not start their insurance claim before the statute of limitations. I’m not recommending you wait until the 2 year mark , as it is always best to consult with a Ottawa personal injury lawyer right away and let them at least start the claim. If you are unsure of what to do, consult with a Ottawa personal injury lawyer and they can let you know what your next steps are.

Carleton Place accident tragic death of Madeleine Havelock and Thomas Guerette and leaves 4 others with severe personal injuries.

What a terrible and tragic start to Easter weekend. Sadly, 2 young university students died on their way home from Trent University to visit their families for Easter.  4 other people also suffered serious personal injuries last night after a terrible accident in Beckwith Township, close to Lanark. The accident took place on Richmond Road,  just south of Carleton Place and involved 2 vehicles. Tragically 21-year-old Madeleine Havelock and 22-year-old Thomas Guerette were found trapped in their car and pronounced dead at accident scene. They were travelling with a 21-year-old woman who suffered a severe pelvic fracture and a serious head injury. She remains in critical condition.  I hope she is able to fully recover from this devastating accident. I’m so sorry for the Havelock and Guerette families who have lost their children, who had bright futurs ahead. This is a terrible, terrible tragedy.

3 others people were also injured. A 23-year-old man driving suffered a shoulder injury, while his passengers suffered serious personal injuries. One had severe abdominal injuries and a 16-year-old suffered serious injuries to his back and shoulders. They were rushed to  the Carleton Place Hospital. I hope they are all able to recover from these injuries.

We never want to hear about accidents like this and it is tough to imagine the devastation for these suffering families.

Ottawa injury lawyer David Hollingsworth shares safety tips to avoid pedestrian accidents.

Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth and Associates.. Although it doesn’t look or feel like it, spring is officially here.  With the warm weather coming , more Ottawa pedestrians will be taking to the streets. Here are a few things you can do to keep yourself safe.

Pedestrians should…

  • always cross at crossways or traffic lights
  • ensure drivers see you before you cross any road;
  • only cross a road when traffic has stopped;
  • be cautious when crossing and do so promptly. Don’t waste time and make sure you get completely across before the light changes.
  • be aware of cars that may be turning and may not be able to see you;
  • as much as possible, wear bright clothing or reflective wear and make yourself as visible as possible.  Most of all, use common sense.
  • There are far too many Ottawa pedestrian accidents each year and sadly, most of them could be avoided.  Both motorists and pedestrians need to ensure that they are doing everything they can to keep Ottawa roads safe and accident free.
