Your Legal Rights Under Ohio Law

Compensation Available

- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering

Ohio is an at-fault insurance state, meaning the driver who caused your accident is responsible for your damages. However, Ohio also follows a modified comparative negligence rule — if you are found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover. Insurers routinely try to shift blame to reduce their payout. An experienced Avon Lake car accident attorney at The Henry Law Firm protects you from unfair fault assignments.
