Ottawa pedestrian accident results in serious head injury, Ottawa lawyer David Hollingsworth
Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth, Head Injury…A woman faces a charge of careless driving under the Highway Traffic Act after she struck an Ottawa pedestrian at Bronson and Sunnyside avenues Monday evening. The Ottawa pedestrian, a 30-year-old woman, was taken to an Ottawa hospital in very critical condition. The Ottawa Police reported that another vehicle was travelling south on Bronson just before Sunnyside Avenue. The vehicle abruptly turned to the right and hit the van, causing it to hit the Ottawa pedestrian. Emergency crews responded to the call at about 8:15 that evening. Ottawa Paramedics reported that several bystanders provided first aid by immobilizing the woman’s head and neck until they arrived at the Ottawa accident scene. The Ottawa woman suffered serious injuries to her left side and a serious head injury. My thoughts go out to the friends and family of this woman. I wish her a full recovery.

Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Accident Benefits Insurance Claims, Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Personal Injury Claims, wrongful death on September 12th, 2011
Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth. Tragically, a 17-year-old girl died as the result of a Kanata accident near the OC Transpo park and ride on Eagleson Road this morning. Young 17 year old Serena Dang was tragically hit by a pickup truck at around 10:30 a.m. Sadly, the teenager sustained critical, life-threatening personal injuries and was taken to the Ottawa Hospital trauma centre at the civic campus and later died from her personal injuries. Ottawa police are not releasing the name of the victim at this time. A Thomas Cavanagh Construction Ltd. truck was parked in the right turn lane into the park and ride but it was not confirmed if the truck hit the girl or not. My thoughts go out to the family and friends of Serena Dang. What a tragedy..
update…

Kanata Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth. Sadly, a 67-year-old man has died after being hit in a Kanata car accident Friday night, while crossing Hazeldean Road between Carbrook Street and Castlefrank Road.

The accident victim was taken to an Ottawa hospital in critical condition, but sadly was pronounced dead. My thoughts go out to the family and friends of this man…Ottawa Police are asking anyone with information to contact 613-236-1222 ext. 2481 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Ontario Brain Injury , Ottawa Head Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth
Ottawa Brain Injury Lawyer, Ontario Head Injury Lawyers: As an eastern Ontario brain injury lawyer, I continue to be shocked at the brain injury statistics that come out each year as most brain injuries are preventable. A Brain Injury is an invisible personal injury, unlike a cut or a bruise. A brain injury is a catastrophic injury and trauma to the brain is not visible. Often times victims of a brain injury or head injury appear to be uninjured and go about their lives. However; often times someone with a brain injury is suffering and is not showing it. Typically friends, family members, co-workers and employers start to notice small changes…The incidence of brain injury is high in Canada:
Brain injury from trauma occurs every 500 out of 100,000 individuals yearly.
Brain Injury outnumbers breast cancer, spinal cord injury and HIV/AIDS.
It is estimated that there are some 27,000 children with Acquired Brain Injuries in Ontario schools.
- people who wear helmets suffer fewer injuries rates (an average of 25% lower) .
- Bicycle injuries are one of the leading causes of injury for children ages 10-14 years old, and traumatic brain injuries account for close to one third (29%) of all cycling-related hospital admissions.
- Research shows that 20% of people in psychiatric settings appear to have a history of brain injury.
- Helmets use reduces brain injury by 88%.
Each year, 50,000 Canadians suffer an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). In Ontario, 44 people sustain a brain injury daily.
- Close to 500 000 people in Ontario are living with an acquired brain injury.
795 children out of 100,000 individuals suffer a brain injury each year
456 people suffer a brain injury daily in Canada — this amounts to one person injured every 3 minutes.
Most brain injury occur in males aged 16 to 24.
Brain injury from trauma is the greatest killer under the age of 45;
the greatest cause of disability under 44;
and kills more children under 20 than all other causes combined
As an Ontario brain injury lawyer and one of the top Ottawa brain injury lawyers, I urge everyone out there to slow down, buckle up, put a helmet on ,be alert and be safe out there. A brain injury is life altering and can happen to anyone in an instant.

Ottawa Lawyers: Ottawa Police aim to reduce Ottawa accidents by targeting stop sign runners and speeding.
Ottawa Lawyers David Hollingsworth, Ottawa Law Firms….Ottawa Police will have stop sign runners and motorists who speed in construction zones on their radar during the Ottawa’s Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) this month. Disobeying stop signs – including rolling stops – is a serious issue on Ottawa roads and can contribute to the risk of Ottawa accidents. In 2009, 1,667 Ottawa collisions at stop sign-controlled intersections resulted in one death and 462 personal injuries – 17 of them life-threatening and critical personal injuries. As for speeding in Ottawa construction zones, provincial legislation allows for the doubling of fines for Ontario motorists caught exceeding posted speed limits in construction zones when workers are present. Ottawa Police will be applying this legislation with a zero tolerance approach this month. In Ottawa, between 2007 and 2009, 526 Ottawa accidents occurred in construction zones resulting in 114 personal injuries, eight of which were serious personal injuries. One construction worker was actually struck and injured on the job by a motorist. In 2003, Public Works and Ottawa Public Health – and the Ottawa Police Service developed the IRSP to provide a comprehensive approach in promoting road safety in Ottawa.
As an Ottawa accident lawyer serving eastern Ontario, I fully support the Ottawa police and this initiative that will hopefully reduce further personal injuries and Ottawa accidents. Be safe out there !

Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth..My thoughts go out to the friends and family of Bertha MacLeod —I am also relieved to learn that her 2 grandsons who were in the car at the time thankfully escaped the tragic accident without serious injury. Bertha was killed in a car accident on Bank Street yesterday. Bertha MacLeod was from Russell, Ontario. MacLeod, 69, was on her way to meet her daughter Peggy for lunch when her Chrysler Sebring was T-boned by a Dodge Dakota pick-up truck at the intersection of Bank St. and Kemp Dr.
She was unconscious when Ottawa firefighters pried the driver’s side door off the car. She was pronounced dead in an Ottawa hospital. At the time of the accident, MacLeod was baby-sitting her daughter’s two sons, ages 8 and 10, who were in the back seat. Thankfully, he boys were not seriously injured but were sore and upset. Bertha was a widower whose husband died two years ago, her daughter said. The 66-year-old male driver of the pickup was uninjured.

Check your car tires..Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth
Ottawa personal injury lawyer David Hollingsworth Ottawa Accident Lawyer..Wishing everyone out there a great and safe long weekend. Pleased rive, swim, bike, ride and boat safely !!!
According to Department of Transport Road Accident Statistics, the number of car accidents caused by weather and snow covered roads increase in winter by 267 percent. Obviously we can’t control the weather conditions but we can reduce car accident statistics considerably by replacing the tires according to the weather conditions. Many Ontario residents and those who live in colder areas, change their car tires prior to start of winter season and again in spring or summer. This is done for the sake of safety as the experienced car drivers know that the ambient temperature is directly related with their tires performance. The research also indicates that ambient temperatures below 7 degrees celcius potentially trigger hazardous driving conditions. Insurance companies statistics also support this view stating that the increase in car accident damage insurance claims increases drastically with the onset of colder weather. This is why it is extremely important to ensure you have tires that are in good condition. Test rides have proved that whenever temperatures go below 7ºC, tire rubber become hard and that results in less road grip. Fitting cold weather tires to our vehicles before winter season is the best solution to drive safely, even during the winter, rainy or snowing season, when temperatures are likely to go down below 7C. Cold weather tires provide better mileage while normal tires reduce the mileage up to 20 %. Cold weather tires contain more rubber that minimizes the hardening effect and gives extra grip in wet, cold or icy conditions. As a result, we get shorter breaking distances. Although it may be a hassle, spending a few minutes for tires replacement at the change of weather twice a year for the sake of safety is not only justified, it is essential. Even after adapting this practice, don’t forget to continually check the tires condition and pressure regularly.
