Not every car accident attorney in Ohio has the trial experience and track record to take on major insurers. The Henry Law Firm does. We've recovered $50M+ for Ohio accident victims and serve clients across Austintown and Mahoning County.
Injuries That Seem Minor Can Cost Thousands
Whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and concussions are frequently dismissed by insurers as minor — even when they require months of physical therapy and cost tens of thousands of dollars. Many victims don't feel the full impact of their injuries until days after the crash. An attorney protects your right to fair compensation as the full picture emerges.
Understanding Hit and Run Accident Cases in Austintown
Hit and Run Accident incidents in Austintown and the surrounding Mahoning 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 Austintown attorney today.
Compensation Available
- Medical expenses — emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Ohio requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance of $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage. In serious accidents, these minimums are often inadequate. The Henry Law Firm explores every available source of compensation — including the at-fault driver's personal assets and your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage.
