Ontario, Ottawa slip and fall settlement / Ottawa Lawyer explains..
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Personal Injury Claims on March 9th, 2010
Even though the mild weather is coming to Ottawa, slip and fall accidents still happen regularly. The ice is melting and has a slick layer of water on top, which remains invisible to the pedestrian. In most instances, when you suffer from an Ontario slip and fall accident, property owners will often try to settle your Ontario accident claim out of court. An Ontario accident settlement offer may be presented as a lump amount or as a structured settlement with several payments spread out over time. If you slip or fall on a business’ property, the settlement offer is usually lower than if the case goes to trial. This is where the top Ottawa personal injury lawyers can help. An experienced Ottawa personal injury lawyer will be able to fight for you and get the maximum settlement offer. A skilled Ottawa personal injury lawyer with experience handling Ottawa slip and fall accident cases similar to yours can help you determine what to expect. Each case is complex and requires a skilled personal injury lawyer to determine whether a settlement offer is fair or not. In most cases, when an Ottawa personal injury lawyer is not involved, it is not. Most Ottawa personal injury lawyers get paid out of the settlement (contingency fee) and are likely to negotiate aggressively to get you the maximum settlement.
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth specializes in Ontario slip and fall accidents and Ottawa personal injury, dedicated to his clients and fighting for maximum settlement for physical or mental harm or personal injury caused by negligence and Ontario accidents. As one of the best Ottawa personal injury lawyers, David has earned an outstanding reputation in the areas of Ontario personal injury, slip and fall accidents and Ontario motor vehicle accidents.

Ottawa Lawyer – Spinal Cord Injury and Hockey
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Spinal Cord Injury, Personal Injury Claims, safety on March 7th, 2010
Ottawa Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer – David Hollingsworth shares spinal cord injury and hockey news..
From the Canadian Paraplegic Association..
Almost each and every week throughout the hockey season an amateur or professional hockey player suffers a serious spinal cord injury. From 1982 – 1996, statistics in Canada reported 252 hockey related major spinal cord injuries, followed by Sweden with 54 and the United States with 36. Most of those spinal cord injuries were sustained by players who were 16 to 20 years old who were playing in supervised games which reinforces the necessity of aiming education at the minor hockey community with the message of skilled and respectful play.
I love my hockey- there is no doubt about it. I play, my son plays and I hope my daughters will play soon. It’s so important to educate everyone on the ice about safety the potential dangers on the ice. A spinal cord injury can happen in a matter of seconds..play safe !

Brain Injury and Head Injury in Ottawa Children

David Hollingsworth : Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer – On the heals of our very exciting Olympic win last night in men’s hockey this timely article was published in the Ottawa Citizen. I am a father of 3, and every time I go to an Ottawa outdoor rink with my kids and see someone without a helmet on, I am in disbelief !
The city of Ottawa is planning on requiring children under 13 to wear helmets at Ottawa indoor skating rinks, but may stop short of an Ottawa bylaw making helmets mandatory for Ottawa children in all outdoor sports. The city of Ottawa already makes minors wear helmets when they participate in Ottawa city-run skating programs, or use the indoor skateboard park or the BMX park. The new policy will extend mandatory helmet use for children to all Ottawa public skating sessions.
Studies show that proper helmet use can prevent head injury and brain injury in children. Earlier this winter, Ottawa emergency-room doctors at the Ottawa hospital treated more than 50 children with head injury and facial injury as a result of skating and tobogganing Ottawa accidents. Approximately 1/2 of them suffered concussions while the other 1/2 had injuries ranging from cuts to broken jaws incurred as a result of face-plants on the ice. Of all the winter outdoor sports, ice skating accounts for the most Ottawa ER visits for head injury in children. Some believe that making a mandatory rule for helmet use creates barriers and limits those who may participate in Ottawa sporting activities. What do you think?

Ottawa Child Personal Injury Lawyer : TV Accidents
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in safety on February 14th, 2010
The last thing in the world we want to have happen is see our children suffer a personal injury. What would be even worse would be if it was avoidable. Even worse to that would if it was something we, ourselves as parents didn’t do to keep them safe. I came across some of this information a while ago in a related law blog written by James Dodson and haven’t stopped thinking about it..
David Hollingsworth, Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer
It may be valentine’s day but what better way to show your family you love them then by keeping them safe. If you have a flat screen TV and have been putting off securing it …stop what you are doing and do it today-yes, right now !! The Journal of Clinical Pediatrics published very disturbing personal injury statistics as it relates to child personal injury. The increase in child personal injury is directly related to an increase in the number of homes with flat panel tvs and homeowners’ eagerness to get watching tv as soon as it is hooked up, which usually interferes with properly securing the tv and an avoidance of a child personal injury. Here are some of the astonishing child personal injury statistics I came across…
- Child personal injury rates are up by 41% since 1990
- 75% of child personal injury are under 6 years of age
- 17,000 children were treated for child personal injury in emergency rooms in 2007 related to falling or unstable furniture (most for head injury and neck injury)
- Falling TVs accounted for almost half of these child personal injury
- these child personal injury accidents occurred from failure to secure TVs to a console
to avoid a child personal injury, check your flat panel tv for instructions on how to secure them or visit the website. Young children are not aware of the dangers of climbing on furniture, or the risk of a child personal injury. The narrow bases that hold these tvs make them very top heavy and unfortunately unstable and unsafe.
I know that here, tonight before I cheer on my beloved Ottawa Senators, I will be checking our tvs to make sure that we are doing or best to avoid child personal injury. Let’s keep our kids safe Ottawa !

Ottawa Lawyer – report child brain injury.
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Brain Injury / Head Injury on February 12th, 2010
Before you head out there this weekend to ski on Ottawa area slopes or visit Ottawa’s famous Winterlude, remember to pack your helmets and use extra caution. With many recent serious and fatal head injuries in the Ottawa area, we are reminded of the seriousness of a head injury….Be safe out there Ottawa !- David Hollingsworth, Ottawa personal injury lawyer
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer :
According to a new study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, a new tool may help standardize the use of CT scans in children with a minor head injury and help reduce the number of scans performed. An astonishing number as high as 650,000 children with a minor head injury resulting in loss of consciousness, amnesia, disorientation and vomiting are seen each year in emergency departments in hospitals across North American. CT scans are important for diagnosing serious brain injury but they unfortunately they expose children to the potentially harmful effects of ionizing radiation and significantly add to health care costs. Use of CT for minor head injury in Canadian pediatric emergency departments has increased to 53% in 2005 from 15% in 1995.
A team of researchers from pediatric institutions across Canada have developed the CATCH rule (Canadian Assessment of Tomography for Childhood Injury) which will help physicians determine if a child with minor head trauma should receive a CT scan or not. The study involved 3866 children from the ages of 0 to 16 from 10 Canadian pediatric teaching institutions. The idea with the new “CATCH” rule will hopefully reduce the number of children who receive a CT scan. This will not only reduce unnecessarily exposing children to possible harmful effects, it will help alleviate the wait times for CT scans and health care costs.
My understanding is that the CATCH Rule, is made up of 7 basic findings from a child’s history and physical exam. From these findings, it is easier to standardize the need for CT and reduce the number of CT scans performed in children with minor head injury.

Ottawa accident results in serious personal injury for 3 accident victims, including a baby. I wish them the very best for a speedy and full recovery. They will be in my thoughts.
–David Hollingsworth, Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer
Late this morning, an Ottawa garbage truck was involved in an accident with a car. The impact from the garbage truck was so hard, that it turned the truck on it’s side and ended up demolishing the car by splitting it in half. 3 people were sent to an Ottawa hospital, which includes a baby. The Ottawa accident occurred close to the intersection of Hunt Club and Conroy Road. The driver of the truck was sent to an Ottawa hospital with a head and neck. He is currently in serious, but thankfully stable condition. The driver of the car remains in serious condition in an Ottawa hospital. She is being treated for a fractured pelvis, fractured leg, as well as internal injury. Her baby (3 months) was treated for an abrasion to her forehead and is currently under assessment and observation. Thank goodness, she was properly positioned in her car seat.
