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.

Ottawa attorneys..seat belts, helmets, car seats and air bags = safety
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Car Accidents, Ottawa Injury and Accidents, safety on January 11th, 2010
Ottawa attorneys..David Hollingsworth reports on the importance of wearing seatbelts! The importance of wearing a seatbelt. It is so simple to buckle up..please do it !! It could save your life and the life an additional 5,000 lives annually!
As the new year gets under way, Ottawa personal injury attorney David Hollingsworth is reminding Ottawa and Ontario motorists to wear their seat belts as it is one of the single most important safety devices to protect yourself and your loved ones and is among the most effective way to protect your loved ones. Seat belts, helmets, child car seats and air bags prevent thousands of traffic deaths each year.
The following suggestions are just some (and there are many more) simple steps that can protect you and your family….
Wearing a seat belt or a motorcycle helmet, bicycle helmet is a decision that can change your life.
“It only takes a few seconds to buckle up and it also only takes a few seconds to suddenly be in a car accident” said Hollingsworth, a well-respected personal injury attorney whose firm handles Ontario car, pedestrian, ATV, motorcycle, truck accidents as well as Ottawa slip and fall accidents and accidents throughout eastern Ontario. “Wearing your seat belt or a helmet is a decision that will have a significant impact on your life should you be involved in an Ottawa car accident or any accident in Ottawa, Ontario.”
It is estimated that seat belts saved nationwide 15,147 lives of people aged 5 and older in 2007 and child car seats saved 382 lives of youngsters aged 4 and younger. The same year, motorcycle helmets saved 1,784 lives, and air bags saved an estimated 2,788 people. Sadly it is also estimated that 5,024 more lives could have been saved if all drivers and passengers wore seat belts. And another 800 lives could have been saved if all motorcyclists wore helmets. Fatal traffic accidents are on the decline since the 1990s, even as use of seat belts has steadily improved. In 2009, about 84 percent of motorists wore seat belts. Did you know that a passenger in a wearing a seat belt in the front seat is 37 percent more likely to survive a potentially fatal crash than one who is not? Did you also know that drivers are 48 percent more likely to survive when buckled up?
“All I can say is please buckle up and drive safety in 2010,” said Hollingsworth.

Slip and Fall Injury ? Compensation ? Ottawa Accident Attorney explains…
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Injury and Accidents, safety on January 1st, 2010
Ottawa slip and fall lawyers – Personal Injury Attorney David Hollingsworth explains the dangers of snow and ice that may be the cause slip and fall accidents in Ottawa and slip and fall accidents in eastern Ontario.
OTTAWA, ONTARIO- A slip and fall accident can occur at any time of the year and in any type of weather, but ice and snow conditions can increase the chance of personal injury. Numerous dangerous conditions caused by winter weather can lead to a slip and fall accident. And now that Ottawa, Ontario is digging itself out of snow, slip and fall lawyers and personal injury lawyers urge pedestrians to be careful and watch where they walk, mind how they walk, and wear proper and safe footwear.
Especially in Ottawa, personal injury lawyers and attorneys know that snow and ice can hide, or even make it impossible to see broken sidewalks, holes, obstacles, or other dangers. Many people suffer personal injury from a slip and fall accident due to snow and ice can often be severe. Some examples of personal injury include broken bones, brain injury or neck injury, head injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, and even death.
“What can make these slip and fall accidents worse is that they are often preventable,” says David Hollingsworth, Ottawa personal injury lawyer, Ottawa slip and fall accident lawyer. Routine snow and ice removal and salting, as needed, can make sidewalks safer. In fact, the hazards of ice and snow can often be attributed to negligence on the part of property owners.
“If you suffer an injury in a slip and fall accident caused by snow and ice, try to get recorded evidence as soon as possible,” said David Hollingsworth, Ottawa slip and fall lawyer attorney. “If possible, take a picture of where the slip and fall accident happened because the snow and ice that caused the slip and fall accident can often be easily cleaned up or, the evidence may melt.”

Drinking and driving related accidents in Ottawa Ontario.
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in safety on December 29th, 2009
Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth urging everyone to be safe out there ! Please, if you are drinking, do not drive!!
-Call a taxi (blue line taxi) 613-238-1111 (WestWay Taxi ) 613 727-0101
-Designate a driver !
-Call responsible choice (613) 248-0444
Don’t let the holidays be ruined by drinking and driving. “The holidays are a time to be especially alert for drunk drivers because alcohol-related accidents traditionally go up this time of year” says Ottawa personal injury attorney, Ottawa accident lawyer David Hollingsworth. “It’s a special time of year that brings many parties and festive occasions when alcohol is served during the holidays,” says David Hollingsworth, Ottawa Accident Lawyer “This unfortunately also brings about more alcohol related Ottawa accidents. Drinking and driving is never agood idea. It’s illegal and too often, it’s deadly.” “We are very fortunate in Ottawa that we have many resources available to us to help prevent drinking and driving such as taxi services and responsible choice.”
It seems that the rates for drinking and driving is on the decline, which is great. Still,there are Ottawa accidents and deaths every year that are alcohol related and could be avoided and that’s tragic.
A disproportionate number of alcohol-related fatal crashes occur during the holidays, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study suggests. The 2007 NHTSA study, which analyzed five years of national traffic data, found that the number of alcohol-related fatalities on the nation’s highways averaged 45 deaths per day during the Christmas period and 54 deaths per day during the New Year’s holiday, compared to 36 deaths per day the rest of the year.
Alcohol-related deaths have been declining nationwide since 1982 due to tougher laws and stepped-up police enforcement. “Enjoy a safe holiday with family and friends,” David Hollingsworth, Ottawa Accident Lawyer says. “If you choose to drink, designate a sober driver or call a cab. It could save a life.”
