As an Ottawa personal injury lawyer, I have a large number of my car accident victims come to me and describe their Ottawa car accident or Ontario car accident. In the last month, there have been an incredible number of Ottawa car accidents due the ice conditions here in Ottawa and in Eastern Ontario. I know it’s obvious, but my goal here is to remind everyone the dangers of icy roads while driving in an attempt to avoid further Ottawa accidents and Ontario accidents as well as reduce the number of Ottawa accidents and Ontario accidents resulting in personal injury. “It goes without saying…If the roads are slick with icy roadways, drivers need to be extra cautious to avoid car accidents and personal injury.” “What makes it tricky is that black ice is very difficult to see,” says David Hollingsworth, Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer. “Before you know it, an icy road can cause cars and vehicles to lose control, which often results in cars spinning around or out of their lane and colliding with other cars or objects. The result is often serious personal injury or can even result in death.”

When people can’t see the ice, they think it’s not there…but IT CAN BE !!! “Most accident victims don’t notice the ice on the road until it is too late,” says the Ottawa personal injury lawyer. “You have to automatically assume that if there is a chill in the air, there may be ice, SO… slow down in order to possibly avoid a car accident.” It’s just common sense, but we all need reminders because with life being as busy and hectic as it is, we often just get in the car and think about where we need to go and how to get there on time..”
