A car accident in Grand Rapids can upend your life in seconds. Medical bills pile up, you can't work, and the insurance company is already working to minimize your claim. The Henry Law Firm fights to make sure the responsible party pays the full cost — not just what the insurer offers.
You Shouldn't Have to Navigate This Alone
Dealing with your own recovery, your family's needs, and an insurance claim at the same time is overwhelming. Most of our clients had never hired a lawyer before their accident. The Henry Law Firm makes the process straightforward — we handle every call, every form, and every negotiation so you can focus on getting better.

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 Grand Rapids 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 is an at-fault insurance state, meaning the driver who caused your accident is responsible for your damages. However, Ohio also follows a modified comparative negligence rule — if you are found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover. Insurers routinely try to shift blame to reduce their payout. An experienced Grand Rapids car accident attorney at The Henry Law Firm protects you from unfair fault assignments.
We Handle Everything — You Focus on Recovery
The Henry Law Firm takes over from day one: gathering police reports and medical records, communicating with all insurance companies, securing expert opinions, and building the strongest possible case. You won't have to worry about missing a deadline or saying the wrong thing to an adjuster.
