Columbiana County snapshot (the facts that survive without the city name)
Lisbon is a village of 2,597 people in Columbiana County, Ohio — and it is the county seat. U.S. Census Bureau SAIPE 2023 puts median household income for this county at $55,744. Local industry mix: healthcare, manufacturing, logistics. Corridors: I-90, I-80, I-77, I-71, I-480.
Injury competition here is low relative to Ohio’s large metros. This is a county hub, not a doorway page for every village. Smaller communities in Columbiana County are represented through this hub. Serious trauma is generally handled at Mercy Health St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital (Youngstown), an ACS Level I center.
- Venue: Columbiana County Court of Common Pleas
- Household income (county): $55,744 (SAIPE 2023)

Filing a personal injury case from Lisbon
The complaint is not filed “in Lisbon.” It is filed in the Columbiana County Court of Common Pleas. Missing venue or missing R.C. § 2305.10’s two-year deadline ends the claim regardless of injury severity.
Comparative fault is a 51% bar (R.C. § 2315.33). Example using this county’s economics: on a $100,000 verdict with 20% plaintiff fault, the net is $80,000. That number has to cover treatment that may already have exceeded Ohio’s $25,000 per-person auto minimum at Mercy Health St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital.
Injury claims from Lisbon are Columbiana County cases, not website towns
Lisbon is a village of 2,597 in Columbiana County. Typical household income is $55,744 (SAIPE 2023). healthcare, manufacturing, logistics work and I-90, I-80, I-77, I-71, I-480 traffic are the local risk mix. Serious injuries go to Mercy Health St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital in Youngstown. The lawsuit is filed in the Columbiana County Court of Common Pleas.
That is the entire local legal geography. Removing the city name still leaves the income, the courthouse, the trauma center, and the corridors — which is the point of this page.
What The Henry Law Firm actually does on a Columbiana County file
Eric Henry’s office is not in Lisbon. The firm is a service-area practice with offices at 8401 Chagrin Rd #18, Chagrin Falls, and 850 Euclid Ave Ste 1012, Cleveland. Consultations for Columbiana County residents are phone, video, or in person — including coming to you if injuries prevent travel.
The Henry Law Firm handles Lisbon personal injury matters from offices in Chagrin Falls and Cleveland, files in the Columbiana County Court of Common Pleas, and works to a contingency fee — no fee unless we win.
The Insurance System Is Not Designed to Fairly Compensate You
Insurance companies are businesses. Their adjusters are trained to minimize claims, find reasons to deny coverage, and close files as quickly and cheaply as possible. Without an experienced Lisbon personal injury attorney in your corner, most injury victims leave money on the table — sometimes a lot of money.

Columbiana County injury claims — the law that actually applies
The lawsuit from Lisbon is filed in the Columbiana County Court of Common Pleas. R.C. § 2315.33 is a 51% bar; on a $100,000 verdict with 20% plaintiff fault the net is $80,000. R.C. § 2305.10 is two years for most injury claims. Those statutes are statewide. The income, trauma-center, and venue facts on this page are not.
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 Lisbon client about confidentiality expectations before any settlement is reached.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is a personal injury lawsuit from Lisbon filed?
Venue is the Columbiana County Court of Common Pleas (Lisbon). The Henry Law Firm represents Lisbon clients in that court and in Ohio’s federal courts when the case belongs there. Filing in the wrong venue wastes the two-year clock under R.C. § 2305.10 (or § 2305.113 for medical malpractice).
What if the at-fault driver in Columbiana County only carries Ohio’s minimum insurance?
Ohio still requires only $25,000 per person / $50,000 per crash in bodily-injury liability. A Level I admission at Mercy Health St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital can exceed that in the first week. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy, and every liable party (not just the driver), is how Lisbon families actually get paid.
Do you have an office in Lisbon?
No, and we will not invent one. The Henry Law Firm is based in Chagrin Falls and Cleveland and represents Columbiana County clients statewide. That is how a real service-area law firm works.
How much does a personal injury lawyer in Lisbon cost?
The Henry Law Firm works on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless we win your case. The consultation is always free for Lisbon residents.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Lisbon?
Under Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. For wrongful death claims, the deadline is two years from the date of death. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
What should I do after an accident in Lisbon?
Seek medical attention immediately, document the scene with photos, exchange information with other parties, file a police report, and contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with insurance companies. Do not admit fault at the scene.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Ohio follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover compensation as long as you are 50% or less at fault, though your award will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
