After an injury in Martinsville, the decisions you make in the first days matter enormously. Insurers start working against you immediately. The Henry Law Firm provides free, immediate consultations for Clinton County injury victims — and acts quickly to preserve evidence, identify all liable parties, and protect your claim.
Injuries Are More Costly Than They First Appear
Emergency room bills are just the beginning. Follow-up appointments, specialist referrals, physical therapy, lost work time, future medical needs, and the impact on your quality of life can multiply the true cost of your Martinsville injury several times over. An attorney ensures all of these damages are accounted for.
Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney in Martinsville?
Accidents can happen anywhere in Martinsville and the surrounding Clinton County area. Whether you were injured in a car accident on a local highway, suffered a slip and fall at a Martinsville 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 Martinsville 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 Martinsville personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
If you were injured at work in Martinsville and the accident was caused by a third party — not your employer — you may have both a workers' compensation claim and a separate civil personal injury lawsuit. These parallel claims can dramatically increase total recovery for Clinton County injured workers.
