The at-fault driver's insurer is not on your side. When you've been hurt in a car accident in Girard, The Henry Law Firm becomes your advocate — handling all insurance communications, building your case, and fighting for maximum compensation.
The Insurance Company Has Already Started Working Against You
Within hours of your accident, the other driver's insurance company began building a file to minimize your claim. Adjusters are trained to get you to make statements that reduce their liability. If you've already given a recorded statement or accepted any payment, contact us immediately — it may not be too late.
Understanding Rear-End Collision Cases in Girard
Rear-End Collision incidents in Girard and the surrounding Trumbull County area can result in serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment. Our attorneys have the knowledge and resources to investigate your case, identify all liable parties, and build the strongest possible claim on your behalf.
Your Legal Rights Under Ohio Law
Ohio's comparative negligence law (Ohio Revised Code § 2315.33) allows you to recover compensation even if you bear some responsibility, as long as your fault doesn't exceed 50%. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years. Don't delay — contact a Girard attorney today.
Compensation Available
- Medical expenses — emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Ohio requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance of $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage. In serious accidents, these minimums are often inadequate. The Henry Law Firm explores every available source of compensation — including the at-fault driver's personal assets and your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage.
