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 Bentleyville 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 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 Bentleyville car accident attorney at The Henry Law Firm protects you from unfair fault assignments.

Insurance companies know which law firms will settle for anything and which will take cases to trial. The Henry Law Firm's track record in Ohio courtrooms means insurers take our demand letters seriously — because they know we mean it when we say we'll go to trial to get our clients a fair result.
