Evidence Disappears Quickly After an Accident

Whether you were injured in a car accident on a local highway, suffered a slip and fall at a Pataskala 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 Pataskala personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
Most personal injury settlements in Ohio are confidential, but certain types of cases — particularly those involving government defendants or publicly traded companies — may become part of the public record. The Henry Law Firm advises every Pataskala client about confidentiality expectations before any settlement is reached.
