Ottawa Injury Lawyers | Pedestrian Accident

Beyond sharing the roadways, motorists and pedestrians must also share the responsibility of each other’s safety. 

If you are ever injured in an Ottawa pedestrian accident, there are many things you must do, including remaining calm, in order to protect your health, safety and your legal rights. Ottawa personal injury lawyers at Auger Hollingsworth are available to help you protect your legal rights to ensure that you are afforded fair and just compensation as a result of the potentially life changing incident.

 Between 2004 and 2008, 1487 injuries of which 181 were life-altering were reported in Ottawa, and 32 individuals were actually killed in vehicle-pedestrian accidents.

If you are ever injured in an accident, it is very important to obtain legal advice as soon as you can; the opportunity to preserve important evidence is limited. The faster you act, the easier it will be to obtain accurate information from witnesses as well as information about the scene of the accident before the environment is altered or impacted by weather, time or human activity.
