Accidents happen every day in Girard — 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.
Evidence Disappears Quickly After an Accident
Surveillance footage gets overwritten, witnesses' contact information is lost, physical evidence is cleaned up, and memories fade. The window for preserving the best evidence of what happened in your Girard accident is brief. The Henry Law Firm acts immediately after being retained to lock in the evidence you need to win.
Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney in Girard?
Accidents can happen anywhere in Girard and the surrounding Trumbull County area. Whether you were injured in a car accident on a local highway, suffered a slip and fall at a Girard 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 Girard 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 Girard personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
Ohio requires that personal injury settlements involving minors be approved by the probate court (ORC § 2111.18). The Henry Law Firm handles the probate approval process for Trumbull County cases involving injured children, ensuring that settlement funds are properly protected for the child's benefit.
