That extra hour of sleep from "falling back" feels like a gift, but the darker evenings that follow are genuinely riskier on the road. With daylight saving time ending on November 1st, it can be crucial to revisit a few key driving safety basics that can help keep you safe on the road during darker nights.

A few things to keep in mind as the days get shorter: Use extra caution during evening drives, pull over in a safe location if you begin to feel drowsy, and watch closely for pedestrians who may be harder to spot in the dark.

These reminders may feel obvious, but refreshing on the basics can be key to staying safe. And should you ever need us this season, know that we are just a call away and ready to help you.

Halloween brings costumes, ringing doorbells, and crowds of excited kids to Ohio neighborhoods, and even a gentle dog can find it all stressful. If you have a dog at home, a quiet room away from the front door can help keep everyone safe while trick-or-treaters come and go.

If a bite does happen, Ohio law generally protects the injured person. Under Ohio Revised Code 955.28, a dog's owner or harborer can be held strictly liable for injuries the dog causes.

Here are the steps the attorneys at Perantinides & Nolan recommend after a dog bite:
▪️Seek medical care right away and keep all of your treatment records.
▪️Write down where the bite happened, the owner's contact and insurance information, and the names of any witnesses, and photograph your injuries.
▪️Contact the police and ask for a police report.
▪️Notify your local health commissioner within 24 hours.
▪️Speak with an attorney about your rights.

Sometimes a simple gesture says it all. 💐

Attorney Courtney Sutton received these beautiful flowers from a client, and she is so touched by the kindness behind them.

Our clients often come to us during some of the most difficult times in their lives, sometimes after a tragedy. Courtney and all of us at P&N are deeply grateful for the trust they place in us and in our firm. It is never taken for granted, and it is an honor to walk alongside them.

When another driver causes a serious crash, most people assume that driver's insurance will pay for their injuries. In Ohio, though, the state minimum for liability coverage can fall short of what a serious injury can cost, and some motorists carry no insurance at all.

Uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage is designed for exactly this situation. Many Ohioans have it on their own auto policy without realizing it, and it may help make up the difference when the at-fault driver's policy isn't enough.

If you drive a company vehicle, ask your employer whether that policy includes UM/UIM. Many employers carry high liability limits for the business itself but decline UM/UIM for their employees.

One more thing to know: settling with the at-fault driver's insurer before notifying your own UM/UIM carrier could put your right to additional compensation at risk. The attorneys at Perantinides & Nolan can help you understand what your policy provides and what steps to take.

Take a few minutes this week to check whether your own auto policy includes UM/UIM coverage before you ever need it. Learn more about UM/UIM claims in Ohio at https://www.perantinides.com/injury-accidents/uninsured-underinsured-accidents.
