Ottawa accident highway 417 sends 4 children to CHEO with personal injuries.

Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth and Associates…A terrible accident last night has left one young boy at Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario with serious personal injuries after being thrown out of the vehicle upon impact. The Ottawa accident occurred on Hwy. 417, close to the Pinecrest exit. The most seriously injured was a young 6 year old boy who had severe road-rash injuries and was rushed to CHEO in serious but thankfully stable condition. 3 other children, a 1 yr old boy, 10 year old boy and 11 year old girl were also treated for personal injuries and brought to CHEO. I wish everyone a full and hopefully a speedy recovery.

There were also 2 other adult passengers in the vehicle . They escaped without injury. The Ontario Provincial Police are investigating the accident. If you witnessed the accident or have any information that could help in the investigation, please contact the Ottawa Police.

Ontario Injury Lawyers David Hollingsworth and Associates. An accident in Winchester Ontario has left 2 men in the Ottawa Hospital Trauma Unit following an early morning accident yesterday morning.  The Winchester accident occurred on County Road 31 when one vehicle is believed to have crossed a centre line and hit another vehicle. Police are investigating why the van may have crossed the line but still have not determined why. Ottawa paramedics were second to arrive at the Winchester accident after they were asked to help the Stormont Dundas and Glengarry Paramedics.  Both drivers of both vehicles were trapped in their vehicles and were eventually freed by the Winchester rescue crews. One man was rushed to the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus with severe trauma including a critical head injury and critical leg injury. The other man was also transported to the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus with several traumatic injuries and multiple fractures and is in serious, but thankfully stable condition. I wish both men in this accident a full recovery. They have both suffered very severe injuries and will have a long road ahead of them. County Road 31 will be close for Police investigation.

Kanata bicycle accident. Child rushed to Ottawa hospital with severe child head injury.

Ottawa Bicycle Accident Lawyers David Hollingsworth and Associates. Now that spring is here ( at least until tomorrow) , the bicycles are out.  Many people are biking to work , school and just about anywhere on their bicycles.  Unfortunately, this also means an increased chance of cycling accidents in the Ottawa area. Sadly, Ottawa bicycle accidents have already begun and a 17-year-old teenage girl was rushed to an Ottawa hospital in serious condition with  a severe head injury. She had been biking in Kanata this morning, when she was hit by a car as she crossed the street. The Kanata bicycle accident took place at Shirley’s Brook Drive close Kinross Private early this morning . When Ottawa rescue crews arrived, the young girl seemed confused , which is a sign of a closed head injury. A head injury can be a devastating and life changing injury. I wish this young girl a full recovery and I hope she is able to completely get through this accident. My thoughts are with her, her family and her friends at this incredible stressful time.

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.

We love hearing from our Ottawa injury clients.

We received another great email today from a client who came to us close to 2 years ago after she had suffered a serious back injury in an accident.  We began working with her and her family soon after her accident and were able to secure them a great settlement that allows them to continue on with life much more financially comfortable .  This client is just one of many clients we help each month. Here is what she had to say.

“I just wanted to say thanks again.  My husband and I sat down last night and for the first time felt like it was finally over and that is thanks to you and your staff.  We really appreciated everything you did for us David and know how hard you worked to get it for us.

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.

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.

More snow coming Ottawa ! Leave those snow tires on.

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers David Hollingsworth and Associates.  You may think spring is just around the corner here in Ottawa but you may have to wait a little longer.  Don’t out your shovels and snow tires away yet. There is a storm system making it’s way towards Ottawa and is likely to hit us late tonight. Yes, that’s right…more snow. It should start tonight and continue tomorrow. It is expected that the Ottawa area will get at least 15 centimetres of snow, possibly more. I wanted to remind everyone to adjust their driving and be aware of the weather conditions.  Driving in a snowstorm and heavy snow can be dangerous. As an Ottawa personal injury lawyer,I can tell you that there are far too many accidents that could potentially be avoided if all drivers followed some basic guidelines for winter driving.

If you are feeling unsafe, pullover and get assistance.

Slow down during inclement weather.

Make sure to clear your car off and that you have excellent visibility on the front , back and side windows.

Clear off the roof of your car, as sudden stops may send large amounts of snow down your windows and may affect your visibility. Clearing off your roof also ensures you aren’t putting others at risk with large pieces of ice and snow flying off your vehicle while driving.

Watch out for black ice.

We will undoubtedly be faced with difficult driving conditions tonight and tomorrow morning in Ottawa and surrounding areas.  Please drive safely and take your time.
