The Henry Law Firm has spent 15+ years fighting for Ohio personal injury victims. Our attorneys understand the legal and insurance landscape throughout Henry County and know how to build cases that get results — from settlement through trial if necessary.
Ohio's Two-Year Statute of Limitations Is Not as Distant as It Seems
Ohio law gives most personal injury victims two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit (ORC § 2305.10). That seems like a lot of time — until you realize that building a strong case, conducting discovery, and filing properly takes months. The sooner you contact The Henry Law Firm, the stronger your Henry County case will be.

Whether you were injured in a car accident on a local highway, suffered a slip and fall at a New Bavaria business, or experienced medical malpractice at a local healthcare facility, our attorneys can help you pursue the compensation you need to recover.

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 New Bavaria personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
Ohio's modified comparative negligence law (ORC § 2315.33) allows you to recover compensation as long as you are 50% or less at fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault — but you can still recover. Insurance companies routinely try to inflate your share of fault to reduce their payout. The Henry Law Firm fights these assignments aggressively.
