Did You Know: Your Safe Driver App Could Affect Your Injury Claim⁉

You downloaded the app to save money on car insurance. But did you know that same driving data could become evidence if you're injured in an accident?

When you signed up, did you really understand what you were agreeing to?

Many drivers focus on the savings without realizing how much information these apps may collect or how insurance companies could use that data after a crash.

Here's what every driver should know:

➡ Safe driver apps may track your speed, braking, mileage, and driving habits.

➡ Insurance companies may use that data to investigate an accident and question fault.

➡ A hard-braking alert doesn't automatically mean you caused the crash.

➡ Driving data could affect how an insurance company evaluates compensation for your injuries.

Before signing up for an insurance discount, take a closer look at what you're agreeing to share and how that information may be used.

And if you're injured in an accident, remember that a driving app doesn't always tell the whole story. There may be a very good reason you slammed on your brakes, and the insurance company's interpretation of that data may not reflect what actually happened.

Your medical bills, lost wages, and future medical care matter. Your medical bills, lost wages, and future medical care matter. Our auto accident attorneys can investigate your crash, review the evidence, and help protect your rights.

TOLEDO CHEMICAL RELEASE: WHAT RESIDENTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT POTENTIAL HEALTH RISKS

In light of the chemical spill that occurred this morning in Toledo, we want to help keep our community informed about potential risks and provide resources for residents who may have been affected.

WHY CHEMICAL EXPOSURE MATTERS

It is important for anyone who may have been exposed to recognize potential symptoms and seek medical attention when appropriate.

Chemical exposure incidents also raise important questions about public safety and accountability. When hazardous substances escape into surrounding communities, residents and workers may face unexpected health risks, evacuation expenses, lost wages, and other disruptions to their daily lives.

If an investigation determines that negligence contributed to the release, individuals who suffered injuries or other legally recoverable damages may have options for seeking compensation.

At Gallon, Takacs & Boissoneault, we believe protecting our community starts with keeping people informed.

For the latest official updates, including evacuation and shelter-in-place information, please visit the City of Toledo's website.

For information about the chemical involved and potential health concerns, please refer to the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department's public health advisory.

The “Full Coverage” Myth: Are You Really Protected?

You have car insurance. But do you really know how much protection you have if someone else causes an accident?

Many drivers believe they have “full coverage,” but that doesn't necessarily mean they're fully protected.

What happens if the driver who hits you has no insurance or doesn't carry enough coverage to pay for your injuries, medical bills, and lost wages?

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage can make a significant difference, yet it's one of the most commonly misunderstood parts of an auto insurance policy.

Kevin Boissoneault, President and Managing Partner of Gallon, Takacs & Boissoneault, recently joined The 419 Grind Rise & Grind Morning Show to discuss why this coverage matters, how it protects you, and why reviewing your policy before an accident is so important.

Think you're fully covered? You might be surprised.

Watch Kevin's full conversation as he goes beyond uninsured motorist coverage to explain the different types of auto insurance, how much protection drivers should consider carrying, important differences between Ohio and Michigan laws, and common misconceptions that could leave you financially vulnerable after an accident.

What Happens When a Farm Accident Causes a Serious Injury?

It’s that time of year in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan! 🌾 The fields are busy, combines and tractors are moving, grain trucks are on the roads, and farmers are putting in long days to get the harvest in.

For many families, farming is more than a job. It is a way of life, often passed down through generations. We have tremendous appreciation for the hardworking farmers throughout Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan who dedicate their lives to feeding our families, supporting our communities, and keeping agriculture strong.

As much as we appreciate all they do, we also recognize the risks that come with the job, especially during the busy harvest season. From machinery accidents and tractor rollovers to electrical injuries, defective equipment, and other unexpected accidents, farming can be dangerous work.

When someone is seriously injured on a farm, figuring out where to turn can be complicated. Depending on where and how the accident happened, workers’ compensation, a personal injury claim, or a defective equipment claim may be involved.

If you or someone in your family has been seriously injured in a farm accident, our team at Gallon, Takacs & Boissoneault can help you understand your legal options.

As harvest season continues, let’s all remember to slow down, watch for farm equipment on the roads, and look out for the hardworking farmers who do so much for our communities.

Can You Legally Put a Camera in Your Loved One's Nursing Home Room?

When someone you love lives in a nursing home, you trust the staff to provide the care, attention, and respect they deserve. But you can't be there every hour of the day, and sometimes concerns arise about unexplained injuries, changes in behavior, or whether your loved one is receiving proper care.

For some families, installing a camera offers peace of mind and a way to understand what happens when they're not there. But what if the nursing home tells you cameras aren't allowed?

In Ohio, Esther's Law protects a resident's right to authorized electronic monitoring. A nursing home generally cannot demand the removal of a properly authorized camera simply because it has a policy against recording.

Attorney Jonathan Ashton of Gallon, Takacs & Boissoneault explains what families need to know about Esther's Law, when nursing homes can challenge a camera, and why video footage may become important evidence when abuse or neglect is suspected.

Every family deserves to know their loved one is safe, treated with dignity, and receiving the care they deserve.

Learn more about your loved one's rights and what Ohio law allows in Jonathan's latest article.

Did You Know? You Don't Need Money Upfront to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney.

One of the reasons people hesitate to contact an attorney after an accident is the fear that they simply can't afford one.

And when you're already dealing with medical bills, missed work, and the stress of recovering from an injury, the last thing you need is another financial worry.

Here's something you may not know.

At Gallon, Takacs & Boissoneault, we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you don't pay attorney fees upfront, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.

For many people, this makes it possible to have an experienced attorney looking out for their interests without adding to their financial burden.

It's not just about getting a settlement check. It's about making sure your claim is properly evaluated, including your medical expenses, lost wages, ongoing treatment, and the potential long-term effects of your injuries.

Because what you agree to today could affect your financial future, especially if you need additional medical care down the road.

If you've been injured in an accident and aren't sure what your options are, a conversation is a good place to start.
