Our lawyers will travel to your home, hospital, or rehabilitation centre anywhere in Eastern Ontario, allowing you to focus on your recovery without worrying about upfront costs or hourly bills. We only get paid when you get paid.

Understanding the Hawkesbury Community

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Hawkesbury

Our firm has extensive experience handling a wide range of personal injury claims. We understand how to build cases that fully reflect the impact of your injuries.

Car Accidents

Motor vehicle collisions can cause devastating injuries that change lives in an instant. From whiplash and broken bones to traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage, the physical, emotional, and financial toll can be overwhelming.

We help clients navigate Ontario’s Accident Benefits system to pursue coverage for medical and rehabilitation expenses, lost income, ongoing care needs, and pain and suffering compensation.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip, trip, and fall accidents are particularly common in Hawkesbury during harsh winter months when ice and snow create hazardous conditions. Property owners have a legal duty under the Occupiers’ Liability Act to maintain safe premises.

We investigate the circumstances of your fall and hold negligent property owners accountable.

Animal Attacks and Dog Bites

Dog bites and animal attacks can result in painful injuries, permanent scarring, and lasting psychological trauma, especially for children. Under Ontario’s Dog Owners’ Liability Act, pet owners can be held strictly liable for injuries their animals cause.

Assault and Sexual Assault

These sensitive cases require exceptional care, discretion, and understanding. Our team approaches assault and sexual assault claims with the compassion and confidentiality survivors deserve.

We help gather evidence, pursue compensation, and connect you with professional counselling services in the Hawkesbury area to support your healing process.

Product Liability Claims

When defective or dangerous products cause harm, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be held responsible. We help figure out liability and pursue justice for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not every law firm handles personal injury cases with the same level of care. Watch out for warning signs such as poor communication, being treated like "just another file," or pressure to settle quickly for less than you think you deserve. You should have a lawyer who listens carefully, communicates clearly, and genuinely prioritizes your recovery and financial security.

Yes. The location where your accident occurred decides where the lawsuit can be filed, not where you currently live. An accident that happens in Hawkesbury will be filed in an Ontario court under Ontario law.

Under the Limitations Act, 2002, you generally have up to two years from the date of the accident or from when you discovered the injury to file a claim. Certain circumstances may shorten or extend this timeframe, particularly in cases involving assault, sexual assault, or injuries to minors. Consulting with a lawyer as soon as possible helps protect your rights.

Absolutely. At David Hollingsworth, we work exclusively on a contingency fee basis, which means you don't pay any legal fees unless we successfully secure compensation for you.

No, personal injury claims in Hawkesbury follow the same provincial laws that apply throughout Ontario. However, working with a legal team familiar with Hawkesbury's bilingual community and local resources can help make your experience smoother.

Yes. Even if you were partially at fault, you can still file a claim with your own insurance company for accident benefits. However, being at fault may affect your ability to make a "tort" claim against another party for additional damages.
