Steps Ontario personal injury lawsuits :What is an examination for discovery ?
Ottawa Ontario Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth www.ottawainjury.ca Steps of an Ontario Personal Injury Lawsuit : Examination for Discovery
What is an Examination for Discovery in an Ontario personal injury lawsuit? An examination for discovery is a very important step of an Ontario personal injury lawsuit. It allows for questions to be asked under oath. It also allows both sides to share documents that relate to the Ontario personal injury lawsuit. All parties in an Ontario law suit have an obligation to list and give copies of all documents that are relevant to the Ontario personal injury law suit in a sworn affidavit. This is often the time when additional evidence will surface. This is also the stage in an Ontario personal injury lawsuit when the insurance company will be able to ask the accident victim questions. Not to worry, your Ontario personal injury lawyer will be there to ensure that all the questions being asked are fair. Your Ontario personal injury lawyer will also prepare you for an examination for discovery ahead of time so you know what to expect. A court reporter will also be present to record the examination for discovery.
Sometimes in an examination for discovery, a question may be asked and the witness does not know the answer. Often times the Ontario personal injury lawyer and the lawyer for the insurance company will agree that the question can be answered later in writing as an undertaking. Your Ontario personal injury lawyer will help prepare the undertaking and assist you in answering any undertakings.
An examination for discovery often “gets all the cards out on the table”. The examination for discovery gives both sides a clear picture of all the facts in the Ontario personal injury law suit and allows for better communication and better chances of settling the Ontario personal injury lawsuit before it goes to court.
If you have any questions at all about your Ontario accident or your Ontario personal injury lawsuit, fell free to contact us.

Arnprior hit and run accident results in serious brain injury for Colette Rigby, Ontario personal injury lawyer David Hollingsworth
Ontario Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth. Ottawa Police need our help. Keith and Colette Rigby need our help. They are from Arnprior and were out for their usual Monday night walk when Colette suffered serious personal injury as a result of a hit and run accident, close to their Arnprior home. Keith reported that he did not see, nor hear a vehicle coming. Tragically, Colette was left with a serious brain injury. Police reported the vehicle could be a red pick-up truck or similar-sized vehicle. While Keith is focussing on his wife’s recovery, he, along with Arnprior residents are hoping the driver will turn themselves in.
My thoughts go out to Colette, Keith and their family.. A brain injury can be a life-altering injury and they will have their struggles ahead of them.
If you have any information regarding this Arnprior hit and run accident, please call police 613-623-3131.

What you can do to prevent a brain injury when skiing, skating and tobogganing :Ottawa Ontario Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth
Ottawa Ontario Brain Injury and Head Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…There are far too many injuries resulting in traumatic head injuries and traumatic brain injury every year. A traumatic brain injury can happen in a split second and change your life forever, as well as the life of your friends and family. Not all head injuries and brain injuries are preventable, but you can take steps to reduce the risks in some activities. ThinkFirst is a national non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of brain and spinal cord injuries. It has some very valuable resources that I thought I would share with you….Have fun, play safe and protect your head ! -Ottawa , Ontario Brain Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth
Brain Injury Facts:
The good news on brain injury..
- Bike helmets can prevent up to 88 % of brain injuries when used properly
- Skiers and snowboarders who wear helmets reduce their risk for head injuries by 60 %
What you can do to help prevent a brain injury…
-Encourage kids to be active, but ensure they get proper training, wear the gear, and are able to effectively navigate risks.
-Be a role model: as parents, coaches and educators it is important to model safe, responsible behaviours like wearing a properly fitted helmet during appropriate activities, and buckling up in the car
Each severe brain injury costs our medical system over $400,000 at the time of injury. Costs remain approximately the same each year following the incident due to indirect expenses and follow-up treatment
Although catastrophic brain injuries in sports and recreation can affect anyone, boys/men are affected four times as frequently as girls/women
Wondering what helmet to wear?
· Skateboarding, In-line skating and Scooters – Because falls are common in these activities, helmets for skateboarding, in-line skating and scooters should cover the back of the head to better protect against backward falls and withstand multiple impacts. A skateboard or in-line skating helmet should not be used for bicycle riding unless specified on the label. No standards have been set for scooter helmets.
Multi-sport helmets – Some helmets are marketed as “multi-sport” meaning they meet safety standards for more than one activity (such as skateboarding and in-line skating). Be sure the helmet you buy has been tested for the activities you will be using it for.
Field Sports – Team field sports, such as football, baseball/so-ball and lacrosse, have helmets specific to the kinds of hazards each sport presents. Football and lacrosse require face protectors on helmets because of the level of contact between players and equipment.·
Hockey – Multiple impact helmets are intended to protect your head from impacts due to falls on ice and collisions with the boards. Hockey helmets are also recommended for ice skating and tobogganing.
Skiing and snowboarding – Ski helmets can be single- or multiple-impact helmets (check the manufacturer’s label) and cover more of the back of the head than a bicycle helmet.
Ice skating and Sledding/ tobogganing – While specific ice skating and sledding helmets have not been developed, ice hockey helmets (skating and sledding) and ski helmets (sledding) are an option because they are designed to protect the head in all directions in icy conditions.
Researchers estimate that 90 % of all injuries are predictable and preventable Remember: Most crashes aren’t accidents, but predictable, preventable events. Change the way you speak about these events to change social perception
