Northern Lights Festival Boreal July 2013

In July 2013, Orendorff & Associates helped Rainbow routes at the Northern Lights Festival Boreal at their Bike Valet booth. Families were encouraged to bike to the festival while being able to stow their bikes under the watchful and safe eye of both Rainbow Routes volunteers and Orendorff and Associates volunteers. In addition to this, the Sudbury Cycling Union was on hand to assist.

Sharing a common goal of Safe mobility on our roads, the Festival was an enormous success with beautiful weather and fun for all. Thank you for visiting the valet station and riding safely. For those that arrive without helmets, Orendorff & Associates, Sudbury Personal injury lawyers were happy to supply helmets at no cost to visitors, with proper fitting and wearing instructions.

Rainbow Routes Share the Road

Summer 2013 marked the 2nd year Orendorff & Associates, Sudbury’s Personal Injury Lawyers sponsored the Rainbow Routes information booth at the "share the road" bicycle ride and education campaign. Share the road is a provincial initiative that works with local organizations to facilitate education in municipalities for all parties using city and provincial roads to share the road safely. Together with the team at Rainbow Routes, representatives of Orendorff & Associates were demonstrating safe cycling signals, proper fitting of helmets for the participants and spectators alike.

Every year, unwanted motor vehicle accidents occur between cyclists and vehicles leaving people injured. Orendorff & Associates is committed to helping our community use the roads safely. Together with John Michael Bray, Michael Gauthier and James Ross, Tomm and the team at Orendorff & Associates represent injury victims in our community in a wide range of litigation matters. Serious injuries such as brain injuries or spinal cord injuries that occur in accidents are what insurance is in place to protect against.

Orendorff & Associates represents only injured victims and their families in disputes against insurance companies.

2013 Share the road ride missed it’s celebrated local ski champ Devon Kershaw as he was unable to make the trip across the country. He was preparing for the 2014 Olympic winter games in Sochi and could not attend. We all wish him great Success at the Olympics ! See you in 2014 Devon at the share the road with your Olympic Story!

Road Safety Campaign 2013

2013 also marked Orendorff & Associates' safety campaign to remind drivers using our roads to stay focused on the road while driving. Winter driving in particular can be treacherous, so in conjunction with the Greater Sudbury Fire Service local billboard message campaign, Sudbury’s Personal injury Lawyers at Orendorff & Associates have helped improve the presentation of the safety messages along our roads.

As first Responders to car crashes and accidents, Greater Sudbury Fire Fighters know first hand the challenges people face when involved in car accidents and motor vehicle collisions. Orendorff & Associates see the unfortunate details of dealing with the long-term after effects of those incidents.

Orendorff & Associates was happy to be a sponsor of the Charity Hockey Game between the FireFighters and the Police in March of 2013. The game was a lot of fun and raised funds that stay in our community.

Rainbow Routes annual Spring Bike Exchange

Orendorff & Associates was, for the second year, proud to be sponsoring and assisting with the Rainbow Routes annual Spring Bike Exchange in the spring of 2013. While great to see kids riding on our streets and in our neighbourhoods, what is even more important is the use of safety helmets to help prevent injury if an incident occurs. Together with Deb McIntosh the Executive Director of Rainbow Routes, Sudbury’s Personal Injury Lawyers, Orendorff & Associates was proud to help put helmets on kids and adults heads alike.

OTLA is the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association and they are committed to putting helmets on kids in this province. More than 4000 children benefitted last year alone.

Here in our own Community, we have lost count of how many helmets we have given away. Whether it is summertime and bike helmets are required or it’s a winter sport like skiing, snowboarding or sledding and warmer winter helmets are needed, Orendorff & Associates is committed to helping improve the safety in our community.

On the second Saturday of the campaign, Tomm and his vehicle of senior members of his legal team took to the roads, responding to calls and tracked over 250km, finally turning in around 4am. The other team of volunteers that drove ORN patrons home were deemed the "younger" members tracked more than 125km and convinced themselves at staying up until 2am was enough for them.

Monday morning when everyone collected at the office, it became apparent that the young team lost the bet and will have to wash dishes for 2013 until they get a chance to redeem themselves.

It was great fun and more importantly, a commitment to keeping the roads of Greater Sudbury safe another holiday season.

Motor Vehicle Collisions or Accidents (MVC or MVA), what ever you refer to them as, can be avoided. Spinal Cord Injuries, Paralysis and other catastrophic injuries, very serious injuries, which cause life altering challenges are what initiatives like Share the Road are trying to avoid.

We have had injuries in our community that have affected the victims and their families and we will continue to work to reduce these terrible incidents.

Thank you to Devon Kershaw for his leadership in this very important initiative of making our roads safer.
