You're Paying for Someone Else's Mistake
You did nothing wrong — yet now you're the one dealing with emergency room visits, follow-up appointments, missed work, and the stress of an insurance claim. The at-fault driver's insurer wants to close your case fast and cheap. Without an attorney, most victims settle for a fraction of what their case is actually worth.
Understanding Drunk Driving Accident Cases in Nelsonville
Drunk Driving Accident incidents in Nelsonville and the surrounding Athens 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 Nelsonville 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 Nelsonville car accident attorney at The Henry Law Firm protects you from unfair fault assignments.
