Ottawa Car Accident- Ontario personal injury lawyer-David Hollingsworth

Ottawa Accident Lawyers, Ontario Personal Injury Lawyers…..Ontario Insurance Claims Lawyer, Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…Luckily for one Ottawa man, his instincts kicked in and he escaped what could have any even more serious situation…I hope everyone involved a full and healthy recovery…Ottawa Paramedics said the driver of a car involved in a bizarre collision on Highway 417 southeast of Ottawa is lucky to be alive after he exited his car immediately following a 2-car accident and just before a third vehicle rammed into his driver-side seat. The incident began when a Ford Focus travelling eastbound on the 417 near Boundary Road veered onto the median and rolled several times before ending up in the westbound lane of the highway, colliding with a Chevy Aveo.

“The distance between the eastbound and westbound lanes is probably a good hundred metres and there’s a fairly big ditch for a vehicle to veer off and go into oncoming traffic, so it’s pretty rare in that area,” said Ottawa paramedic Francois Coté, who was part of the team that responded to the scene just after 9 p.m.

Paramedics said the driver of the Aveo, a 45-year-old man got out of his car, just before a 4-door Honda rammed the driver-side door. Paramedics from Ottawa and Prescott Russell arrived at the scene and said they couldn’t believe the driver of the Aveo was only complaining of shoulder pain after they saw the state of his car.

“This gentleman here was very lucky,” said Coté. “He came in contact with the Ford Focus which from what we were told by bystanders was a moderate collision. But he got out of his vehicle but then another Honda rammed into his vehicle right typically where he would be seated…[and] the seating compartment where the driver would be in was pushed in. He’s lucky to still be alive today.”

The driver and passenger of the Focus, both 18-year-old women, were both treated and taken to hospital as a precaution. The driver appeared uninjured and the passenger had cuts on both arms and pain in her hip and left leg.

The driver of the Aveo was also taken to hospital. The 46-year-old male driver of the Honda complained of chest discomfort from the deployment of an airbag but refused treatment. His 14-year-old daughter was also taken to hospital with injuries caused by the deployment of the airbag. The highway’s westbound lanes were temporary closed for the cleanup. Ontario Provincial Police are investigating.

Ottawa lawyers, contingency fees and free consultations

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth – Ontario Personal Injury Lawyer

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer explains contingency fees and free consultations..

Hiring an Ottawa or Ontario Personal Injury lawyer because of a serious accident can be a difficult and stressful task. Whether you were in a car accident, bicycle accident, a pedestrian accident (hit by a car), slip and fall accident at the super market or a store; whether you were injured at someone else’s home or on an escalator you may be entitled to compensation for your personal injury.

Many lawyers will take on a personal injury lawsuit but not all of them handle the case from start to finish. Some will simply sign up your case only to refer it to another firm that you know nothing about just to get a referral fee. Other, larger law firms will have you meet with an experienced lawyer only to turn around and delegate your personal injury case to a newer associate.  It is important to make sure that the personal injury lawyer you hire is the roght one for you and if you want, willing to handle your case themselves from start to finish.

Free Initial Consultation
Some Ottawa personal injury lawyers such as David Hollingsworth offer a free consultation and will take your case on contingency. This can be done on the telephone , at your home, David’s office, your hospital, rehabilitation centre or wherever you  are most comfortable.  Not all Ottawa personal injury lawyers are willing to leave the office to meet you. An experienced personal injury lawyer knows that it is often difficult  to travel after an accident. David understands that at this point in your life, it may be very difficult for you to come and meet him and his personal injury team and is absolutely willing to travel to meet you and not just in Ottawa, throughout eastern Ontario  places such as SmithFalls, Cornwall, Perth, Arnprior, Hawkesbury etc… 

Remember that in addition to being your advocate, your Ottawa or Ontario personal injury lawyer is responsible for advising you as to the strengths and weaknesses of your personal injury case, which will in turn better prepare you when making an informed decision on whether or not to settle your Ontario personal injury case.

What is a Contingency Fee Agreement?
A contingency fee agreement is a type of contract where the client only pays the Ontario personal injury lawyer a percentage of the fee once the case is resolved and the money has been paid to the client.  When David meets with new clients, they sit down and discuss what contingency fee arrangements works for everybody; as no 2 cases are alike and everybody’s financial situation is different.  David understands this.

Cost and Expenses of Filing a Personal Injury Claim
Another matter of concern are the “costs” or “expenses” associated with starting an Ontario personal injury lawsuit.  These are different costs from the lawyer’s fee and can usually include the cost  for filing the lawsuit as well as charges for medical records, reports and for investigators and expert witnesses. Some  personal injury lawyers, such as David Hollingsworth  will agree to advance the costs on your behalf. The contingency fee agreement is also required to specify whether expenses are to be deducted before or after the contingency fee is calculated. You can even contract to pay your Ontario personal injury lawyer by the hour instead of on a contingency fee basis; however, most personal injury clients opt to have  the risk to the personal injury lawyer and pay only in the event of a successful recovery. Also, this way, your personal injury lawyer is invested in your case.  An Ottawa or Ontario personal injury lawyer may spend thousands of dollars for expenses and spend hundreds of hours working on your personal injury case. Under the contingency fee agreement the personal injury lawyer only gets a fee when they get a recovery for you.

If all of this seems confusing and overwhelming, you are not alone.  David would be happy to sit down and walk you through the process.  There are no bad questions to ask….

Let an experienced and highly qualified Ontario personal injury lawyer in Ottawa fight for you.

Ottawa Lawyers : Ottawa Accident Albion Road = death and personal injury

Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth – Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer-  I am truly sorry to everyone involved in this Ottawa accident which resulted in death and serious personal injury.  Losing two 18 year olds is a very sad event.  My wishes go out to the families of these young men.  I also wish a healthy and full recovery to the other accident victims of this terrible Ottawa accident….

Two 18 year old men died after the Pontiac Sunfire they were riding in collided with a Hyundai Santa Fe SUV just after 7:30 p.m last night on Albion Road. Of the 4 people in the SUV, the most serious personal injury was an 82-year-old woman, who was found semi-conscious in critical condition with head injuries and was rushed to hospital where her condition was upgraded to serious, but stable upon arrival. A 56-year-old woman suffered severe chest trauma and a possible fractured sternum. She was in serious, but stable condition. The 67-year-old man driving the Santa Fe suffered head, neck, abdominal and shoulder injury, and a 61-year-old woman suffered orthopedic injury- a fractured wrist. Both were taken to hospital in stable condition. None of the names of the crash victims have been released.

Ottawa, Ontario spinal cord injury lawyer David Hollingsworth

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth- Ottawa Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer – Types of Spinal Cord Injury:

Complete spinal cord injury-A complete spinal cord injury results in paralysis below the site of the injury. There is no feeling or voluntary movement, and both sides of the body are paralized equally.

Incomplete spinal cord injury-An incomplete spinal cord injury occurs when only part of the spinal cord is damaged as a result of  a tear, spinal cord compression or other personal injury. People with incomplete spinal cord injury may experience partial paralysis. Some feeling and voluntary movement may be present on one or both sides of the body. Incomplete spinal cord injury has become more common, thanks to advances in medical treatments. A person with an incomplete SCI may retain feeling in the affected area, but may be in constant pain. The chronic pain can be serious and debilitating, often times leaving the injured victim unable  to function. In some situations more active therapy helps to build strength and support function. Every spinal cord injury is unique.  David Hollingsworth and his Ottawa personal injury team understand this. For over a decade, David has been  helping  accident victims with spinal cord injury work through their lawsuit and get the compensation they need not only for loss of income, a new home, custome vehicles etc..

If you or a member of your family has sustained a spinal cord injury, please contact me by e-mail or call 613 978-9549. David Hollingsworth, Ottawa personal injury lawyer offers  free consultations to discuss your case and explain how we can help you.

Ottawa Accidents Study : Lawyer David Hollingsworth shares…

Ottawa Accident Lawyer, Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth-

Good news Ottawa ! The city is going to be looking closely at some of the most dangerous Ottawa accident intersections. In Ottawa, Ontario between 2004 and 2009 in Ottawa, there were 1,600 pedestrian-related Ottawa accidents resulting in personal injury. The Pedestrian Safety Evaluation Program aims to target 23 of the most collision-prone Ottawa intersections and make improvements for Ottawa’s  pedestrian safety. The Carling-Holland intersection, which relies on a complex sequence of 14 separate lights, along with the intersection of Donald Street and Vanier Parkway will be the first to see changes.

Let’s hope we can make Ottawa a safer place and avoid as many Ottawa accidents as possible !
