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.

Understanding Distracted Driving Accident Cases in Richmond Heights
Distracted Driving Accident incidents in Richmond Heights and the surrounding Cuyahoga 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 Richmond Heights 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 Richmond Heights car accident attorney at The Henry Law Firm protects you from unfair fault assignments.
