Look Well To The Spine For The Cause of Disease: Spinal Cord Injuries

The pioneering Greek physician Hippocrates, known as “The Father of Western Medicine”, said “Look well to the spine for the cause of disease".

Nature of Spinal Cord Injury: Occurrence, Causes, Injuries, and Symptoms A spinal cord injury typically occurs when a traumatic event causes: Direct damage to spinal cord cells or cuts the nerve pathways which carry messages throughout the spinal [...]

Carefulness Costs You Nothing: Careless Driving May Cost You Your Life

During the Progressive Era of the 1900’s, a period characterized by widespread social activism and political reform in the United States, public health and safety concerns took the form of awareness campaigns.  One such campaign proclaimed: “Carefulness costs you nothing. Carelessness may cost you your life”. Though these words are from a century vastly different from our own, the message still resonates today; particularly, in the context of driving.  At best, careless driving may cost you a fine or time in prison and, at worst, it may result in serious injury or loss of life. In this blog, we will discuss [...]

Hiring a Lawyer Blog: “Support Any Friend, Oppose Any Foe”

In speaking about adversity, John F. Kennedy vowed that “…we shall bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, and oppose any foe”.  Though at the time these words related to global diplomacy, they nonetheless stand as a mantra for the lawyers of McNally Gervan.  When it comes to your case, we will support you in every way possible and zealously advocate on your behalf.  In this blog, we will discuss what to do when an accident occurs and what to look for when meeting with a lawyer for the first time.

Fated Encounters: Motor Vehicle Accidents

The celebrated Spanish artist Pablo Picasso did not believe in accidents and said, “There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents”.  Although Picasso was speaking in the abstract, his words do resonate in the context of motor vehicle accidents.  Many collisions may arise out of chance, fluke, or unintentional behaviour, but many more are caused by the intentional behaviour of drivers and, though called accidents, are in fact fated encounters.  In this blog, we review the law related to the top three intentional behaviours that cause motor vehicle “accidents” to occur: distracted driving, careless driving, and driving under the [...]

Simple Pleasure, Simple Protection: Cycling Safety

John F. Kennedy wrote that, “Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride”.  In Ottawa, that simple pleasure now enjoys greater protection with the recent addition of high-tech warning lights at the historically treacherous intersection of O’Connor and Waverley Streets.  These warning lights alert motorists of an approaching cyclist’s intention to make a left turn, thereby creating an enhanced level of awareness and vigilance.  While high-tech innovations are important for cycling safety, so too are low-tech cyclist safety precautions and in this blog we have provided you with an overview of safety equipment, a guide to cycling in traffic, [...]
