What do you think are Ottawa’s worst roads ? CAA wants to know…

May 1st is the official start date of CAA’s – Canadian Automobile Association`s yearly “Worst Roads in Ontario” initiative. This is the 10th year for the program which aims to promote taking  action on some of the most dangerous and older roads in Ontario.  Last year, Carling Avenue in Ottawa ranked in 7th place as one of Ontario’s worst roads. So far this initiative is working and  90 %  of the roads that make the top 10 list have been fixed. CAA wants the Ontario government to use  revenue collected from gas taxes to improving road conditions, bridges and highways. Anyone is allowed to vote and you can vote up until the end of the month. Vote at worstroads dot ca. Let’s do whatever it takes to make our Ottawa roads better and safer. Cast your vote !

Fall from Bayshore shopping garage leads to tragic death of 18 year old.

 Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers  David Hollingsworth and Associates…Tragically, a young 18 year old man died after falling 40 feet from at the Bayshore Shopping Centre parking garage. When Ottawa  arrived, the  man had no vital signs and sadly died shortly after in an Ottawa hospital. The cause of the accident is still unknown. My thoughts go out to the friends and family of this young man at this very sad time.

Ottawa motorcycle accident: Funeral for Mike Jefferies and serious personal injury for Sandra Jefferies.

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…update: 100s are expected to gather for a memorial service at the Biker’s Church to share wonderful stories about  avid biker Mike Jefferies. His son Barry had once said he would never ride a motorcycle again but is doing what his heart tells him and that’s what his dad would have told him.  Get back on the bike, and he is, in honour of his beloved father. A motorcycle procession is planned for tomorrow ( Saturday) in tribute to Mike Jefferies before his funeral.

Sadly, 54-year-old Mike Jeffries yesterday afternoon doing what he loved to do: riding his motorcycle. Mike Jefferies died after an accident  on St. Laurent Boulevard, north of the Queensway shortly after 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Ottawa paramedics found him in cardiac arrest at the  Ottawa motorcycle accident scene. 

An off-duty paramedic, who happened to be nearby when the accident took place, managed to revive Jefferies using cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at the scene. He later died in hospital.

Mike Jefferies’ pastor spoke highly of him as described him as generous and thoughtful. He also said they would remember Mike at a service on Thursday. Jefferies’ wife, 53-year-old Sandra Jefferies, was also on the motorcycle at the time of the Ottawa motorcycle accident. She was taken to an hospital in serious condition but was expected to be released.  Ottawa police were investigating but had not made any arrests as of Saturday at about 10 p.m. Jefferies had one son, Barry, who is in his 20s. My thoughts go out to the friends and family of Mike Jeffries and I wish his wife a full recovery…..

Ottawa injury lawyer supports Ottawa police aiming to reduce Ottawa accidents by targeting distracted Ottawa drivers.

www.ottawainjury.ca Ottawa Injury Lawyers David Hollingsworth.. From April 17-19, 20 Ottawa Traffic Enforcement Team, monitored the intersection of Bank Street and Champlain Avenue and issued tickets to distracted Ottawa drivers.    The Ottawa Police officers monitored Ottawa traffic for a total of 81/2 hours over a period of 3 days.  In total, 240 tickets were issued: 97 for Operating a motor vehicle while using a hand-held communication device, 18 for seat belt infractions and 125 tickets for other Highway Traffic Act related offences.  The current fine for using a hand-held device while driving is $155. 

I’m surprised to see so many fines .  It is so obvious that driving and talking on the phone is not worth the risk.  There are so many wireless devices on the market that allow one to talk on the phone while driving; there really are no excuses. Please do not distract yourself. Answer the call later, pull over or invest on a Bluetooth.  Drive safely out there !                                                                                              -Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth

Ottawa accident involving street sweeper results in serious personal injuries: chest, back and abdominal injuries.

Ottawa accident lawyer David Hollingsworth…An Ottawa man was taken to an Ottawa hospital in critical condition last night after an acciddent  with a street sweeper in Ottawa’s south end at Bank Street just north of Conroy Road. The 35-year-old man was trapped inside his vehicle  until Ottawa fire crews were able to free him. He was rushed to the Ottawa Hospital and treated for serious personal injuries: chest injury, back injury and abdominal injuries. I hope this man is able to fully recover from this accident.
