Ottawa accident Colonel By drive results in serious head injury.
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer..An eldrely 83-year-old dog walker was hit by a vehicle on Colonel By Drive near Dow’s Lake yesterday morning. Ottawa paramedics treated the elderly man for a serious head injury. The dog was not hurt. The elderly man was conscious when Ottawa paramedics arrived but drivers who came to the man’s assistance said he had been unresponsive until moments before. The elderly Ottawa man was in serious condition yesterday afternoon in an Ottawa hospital. My thoughts go out to this man, his friends and family. It’s a tough time of year not to have your loved ones at home with you.

Ottawa’s icy road conditions lead to over 70 Ottawa accidents
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth — Yesterday’s icy weather conditions caused a tractor-trailer to hit 3 vehicles on Greenbank Road between Fallowfield and West Hunt Club roads. As a result of the Ottawa accident, one person was trapped in a vehicle and 3 others suffered serious personal injury.
There were more than 70 Ottawa accidents on Ottawa’s icy roads yesterday according to Ottawa police. The Ottawa Paramedic Service said that Ottawa accidents were “starting to pile up” as Ottawa received 10 to 15 millimetres of freezing rain.
Emergency crews on the Ottawa accident scene at the Greenbank accident were able to extricate the trapped occupant from the vehicle without the need for heavy equipment. Greenbank Road was closed for about two hours. Ottawa Paramedics say 2 people in their 50s suffered neck and back injury. Thankfully, they are in stable condition in an Ottawa hospital.
Ottawa Emergency crews also responded to 25 injuries from slips and falls on slippery Ottawa roads and sidewalks.

Ontario Accidents and Organ Donation. Will you register? Ottawa lawyer David Hollingsworth

Organ and Tissue Donation in Ontario, Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth, Ontario Accident Lawyers
Did you know…That in Ontario consent is needed for organ donation? In Ontario consent is needed in order for your organs to be donated upon death. In other areas it is typically the other way around that consent is implied and you register if you don’t want to donate your organs upon death.
A signed organ donor card is not enough, you need to register. The registration forms are on their website “The Gift of Live” as well.
The website states your donation can save up to 8 lives and improve as many as 75 lives. The website also recommends you make your intention of whether your want your organs donated or not known to your family beforehand.
What if it is in my will? The problem with your intention being written in your will is that your will is usually not read until a later date. It is very important you register if you want to donate your tissue and organs upon death. The form allows you to indicate what you don’t want to donate.
The choice of whether or not to donate organs is very personal and often times a very difficult decision for family members to make.

Ottawa weather conditions, 10 cm of snow fall expected. Ottawa lawyer David Hollingsworth reminding you to drive, bike and walk safely and get out your snow tires.
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Ottawa Resources, safety on November 21st, 2011
Well Ottawa..it’s coming…Ottawa’s first significant snowfall of the season is coming tomorrow night and it sounds like it could be a messy one. Environment Canada has issued a weather alert for Tuesday night that warns us all to be cautious for the first winter storm of the fall. The winter alert indicated that snow and possibly freezing rain are possible from Belleville to Prescott and Russell to Bon Echo Park, including the City of Ottawa and Gatineau. They are calling for close to ten centimetres of snow may be possible in some areas by Wednesday morning. Cold air means that precipitation will fall as either snow or a mix of snow and rain, with a chance of freezing rain.
Please be careful out there on the roads..It’s easy to forget how slippery the roads can be. If you don’t already have an appointment to get those winter tires on, now is the time!
A note to pedestrians and cyclist. ..Please be extra cautious and really be aware of the cars and vehicles around you. Wait and check before crossing the street, even if it indicates for you to go. Cars may be skidding through that intersection.

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer on Hallowe’en Safety Tips…
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Resources, safety on October 30th, 2011
Happy Hallowe’en everyone. Before you head out tomorrow night , please take a minute to review these Hallowe’en safety tips from the Red Cross… My children are quite excited for the big day , as are most. We have finally decided on a lamb, a witch and a glowstick guy ! Looking forward to seeing all the kids. Enjoy your night everyone and please be safe !!! -Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth
With witches, goblins, and super-heroes descending on neighborhoods across Canada, the Canadian Red Cross offers parents some safety tips to help prepare their children for a safe and enjoyable trick-or-treat holiday. Halloween should be filled with surprise and enjoyment, and following some common practices to keep events safer and more fun!
- Costumes should be light-colored and flame resistant with reflective strips so that children are more easily seen at night. (And remember to put reflective tape on bikes, skateboards, and brooms, too!)
- Costumes should be short enough to avoid tripping.
- Remind children to keep away from open fires and candles. (Costumes can be extremely flammable.)
- Use face paint rather than masks or things that will cover the eyes.
- Remind children to walk, slither, and sneak on sidewalks – not in the street.
- Explain to children that calls should be made along one side of the street first and then the other, and that it’s best to cross the street only at intersections or crosswalks.
- Remind children to look both ways before crossing the street to check for cars, trucks, and low-flying brooms.
- Provide yourself or the children with a flashlight to see better and to be better seen.
- Have children plan their route and share it with you and the family.
- Trick or Treaters should travel in groups of four or five. Young children should be accompanied by an adult.
- Visit homes that have the porch light on.
- Make sure children know they should accept treats at the door and must not get into cars or enter the homes or apartments of strangers.
- Remind children not to eat their treats and goodies until they are examined by an adult at home. And candy should not be eaten if the package is already opened. Small, hard pieces of candy are a choking hazard for young children.
Injury is no accident. Prepare! Stay Safe! Survive!

Ottawa pedestrian accident : wrongful death Alexandra Dodger, killed by drunk driver
Ottawa Accident Lawyer…Sadly, 27-year-old Alexandra Dodger died after being hit by a car headed in the wrong direction in Ottawa’s downtown Saturday night. Ottawa Police say the car was headed eastbound on St. Patrick Street around 3:03 am Saturday morning. The woman was crossing at St. Patrick and Cumberland when she was hit and killed. The 26-year-old driver of the black Honda Accord was arrested and taken into police custody. Alcohol may have been a factor. Charges are pending. This seems like a very unnecessary and tragic Ottawa accident. My condolences go out to the family and friends of this young woman, killed in a senseless accident.
update: Ottawa police have charged 26-year-old Maxime Morin-Leblanc with criminal negligence, failure to provide a breath sample and driving impaired. These charges were handed down after an investigation into a fatal crash early Saturday morning.
Anyone who may have witnessed the event is asked to contact Det. Nigel Emaman of the Traffic Collision Investigation Section at 613-236-1222 ext 2474 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS). Or toll free at 1-800-222-8477.
