Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…Ottawa Police Service are focussing on our health and safety and aiming to help reduce Ottawa accidents. May 15 to May 21 is Canada Road Safety Week , a week aimed at reducing personal injuries and death caused by motor vehicle accidents . One of the key focusses is distracted driving. Ottawa Police will be setting up an enforcement area across Ottawa involving plain clothes officers, whic has been very effective in targeting people using hand-held devices, cell phones and other objects that can distract while driving. Another focus will be impaired driving, distracted driving, seatbelts, child restraint use and aggressive driving. To help reduce the number of Ottawa accidents and drunk driving accidents, the Ottawa Police will also conduct RIDE , which stands for Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere Programs during the evenings of May 17 and May 18. The RIDE Program is a provincial campaign led by the Ottawa Police that runs all year long and involves Ottawa Police spot checks where vehicles are stopped and drivers are checked for drunk driving.
Ottawa Police is also actively engaged in another safety project that aims to reduce Ottawa accidents and personal injuries. Project E.R.A.S.E. , which stands for Eliminate Racing Activity on Streets Everywhere, a collaborative effort of 22 police services, the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of the Environment . This porject aims to reduce poor driver behavior through education and strategic enforcement. Sadly, excessive speed continues to be the leading contributing factor in fatal accidents.
We all need to do our part in driving safely and reducing the number of accidents on our roadways. Please drive safely…

Ottawa child accident results in possible spinal cord injury. Ottawa lawyer David Hollingsworth
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…A young Ottawa boy was brought to Ottawa’s CHEO hospital yesterday morning after a minivan hit him, just east of Ottawa’s downtown core. The young boy is 9 years old and was walking near the intersection of Queen Mary and McNaughton streets at approximately 7:30 a.m. in the Overbrook neigbhourhood when he was hit in the accident. He suffered injuries to his face, as he rolled on the hood of the vehicle and then fell to the ground. Ottawa paramedics put him on a spinal board and brought to CHEO in stable condition. I hope this young boy is ok and can recover from this accident, which could have had a very different outcome.

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.

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth..The City of Ottawa’s Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) will be focussing on distracted driving in Ottawa and appropriate seat belt and child safety restraint for the month of March to help keep our Ottawa’s roads safe. I personally want to thank them and think that these initiatives are crucial to educating Ottawa and helping prevent personal injuries and save lives.
Personal Injuries and Distracted driving in Ottawa Ontario..
From 2008 to 2010, distracted driving was the cause of 6,129 Ottawa accidents. These Ottawa accidents resulted in 9 wrongful deaths and 1,976 personal injuries in Ottawa Ontario. This Ottawa personal injuries could have been avoided !
Ottawa Personal Injuries and Seat belt/child safety-
From 2006 to 2010, 26 people died, 50 suffered life-threatening personal injuries and another 202 suffered personal injuries in Ottawa as a result of not wearing a seat belt or proper child restraint. 20/26 fatalities were male.

How an Ottawa personal injury lawyer can help you. Ottawa lawyer David Hollingsworth
Ottawa personal injury lawyer David Hollingsworth…Often times I am called to simply give an opinion. Someone has been in an accident and they have been dealing with their insurance companies and their insurance company has offered them a low ball offer to settle. It makes absolute sense that before accepting an offer from an insurance company, a second opinion would be good. As an Ottawa personal injury lawyer, I do this all the time. Sometimes the insurance company has made a fair offer but often times , it does not favour the accident victim. It’s important to remember that insurance companies are a business and their bottom line is to save money. Most times I am able to quickly get the facts of the case and give my opinion right away. I have settled thousands of cases so I am able to give a pretty good idea of what a personal injury case is worth. If you have been seriously injured in an Ontario accident, give us a call. It’s free. It never hurts to consult with an Ottawa personal injury lawyer. An Ottawa personal injury lawyer can help you decide whether or not you have a case and how much it is worth. You owe it to yourself and your family. Call our Ottawa personal injury lawyers: David Hollingsworth or Denis Alisic.
