After a car accident in Dover, Ohio, the decisions you make in the first 24–72 hours can determine whether you receive fair compensation. The Henry Law Firm guides Tuscarawas County crash victims through the entire process, from evidence preservation to final settlement or verdict.
The Insurance Company's Offer Is Almost Never Their Best Offer
If an insurer has already contacted you with a settlement figure, understand this: they are not starting with their best number. Their first offer is designed to close your case before you fully understand your injuries or consult an attorney. Once you accept, you waive all future claims — even if your condition worsens.
