Serious injuries change lives — and the costs can be overwhelming. The Henry Law Firm represents Bloomingdale injury victims on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Free consultations available 24/7.
Ohio's Two-Year Statute of Limitations Is Not as Distant as It Seems
Ohio law gives most personal injury victims two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit (ORC § 2305.10). That seems like a lot of time — until you realize that building a strong case, conducting discovery, and filing properly takes months. The sooner you contact The Henry Law Firm, the stronger your Jefferson County case will be.
Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney in Bloomingdale?
Accidents can happen anywhere in Bloomingdale and the surrounding Jefferson County area. Whether you were injured in a car accident on a local highway, suffered a slip and fall at a Bloomingdale business, or experienced medical malpractice at a local healthcare facility, our attorneys can help you pursue the compensation you need to recover.
Ohio is an at-fault state, meaning the person responsible for causing your accident is liable for your damages. However, insurance companies will fight to minimize your payout. Having an experienced Bloomingdale personal injury attorney on your side levels the playing field.

Ohio Personal Injury Laws You Should Know
Ohio follows a modified comparative negligence system. Under Ohio Revised Code § 2315.33, you can recover compensation as long as you are 50% or less at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you would receive $80,000.
Statute of Limitations
In Ohio, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10). For wrongful death claims, the deadline is two years from the date of death. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your claim, so it's important to contact a Bloomingdale personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
Most personal injury settlements in Ohio are confidential, but certain types of cases — particularly those involving government defendants or publicly traded companies — may become part of the public record. The Henry Law Firm advises every Bloomingdale client about confidentiality expectations before any settlement is reached.
