Were you injured in a car accident in Akron, Ohio? The Henry Law Firm provides aggressive legal representation for crash victims throughout Summit County. Insurance companies move fast to protect their profits — you need an equally fast and tenacious attorney in your corner.
The Insurance Company's Offer Is Almost Never Their Best Offer
If an insurer has already contacted you with a settlement figure, understand this: they are not starting with their best number. Their first offer is designed to close your case before you fully understand your injuries or consult an attorney. Once you accept, you waive all future claims — even if your condition worsens.
Understanding Hit and Run Accident Cases in Akron
Hit and Run Accident incidents in Akron and the surrounding Summit County area can result in serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment. Our attorneys have the knowledge and resources to investigate your case, identify all liable parties, and build the strongest possible claim on your behalf.
Your Legal Rights Under Ohio Law
Ohio's comparative negligence law (Ohio Revised Code § 2315.33) allows you to recover compensation even if you bear some responsibility, as long as your fault doesn't exceed 50%. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years. Don't delay — contact a Akron attorney today.
Compensation Available

- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress

If the other driver was uninsured or underinsured and you have UM/UIM coverage on your Ohio auto policy, The Henry Law Firm can help you make a claim under your own insurance — and will fight your insurer just as hard as we would fight the at-fault driver's insurer. You paid for that coverage; you deserve to use it.
