Accidents happen every day in Brookfield Center — on the roads, in businesses, at work sites, and in homes. When someone's negligence is responsible for your injuries, you have rights under Ohio law. The Henry Law Firm helps Trumbull County injury victims understand those rights and pursue every dollar of compensation they're owed.
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 Trumbull County case will be.

Whether you were injured in a car accident on a local highway, suffered a slip and fall at a Brookfield Center business, or experienced medical malpractice at a local healthcare facility, our attorneys can help you pursue the compensation you need to recover.

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 Brookfield Center personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
Ohio's modified comparative negligence law (ORC § 2315.33) allows you to recover compensation as long as you are 50% or less at fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault — but you can still recover. Insurance companies routinely try to inflate your share of fault to reduce their payout. The Henry Law Firm fights these assignments aggressively.
