After a car accident in Savannah, Ohio, the decisions you make in the first 24–72 hours can determine whether you receive fair compensation. The Henry Law Firm guides Ashland County crash victims through the entire process, from evidence preservation to final settlement or verdict.
The Insurance Company's Offer Is Almost Never Their Best Offer
If an insurer has already contacted you with a settlement figure, understand this: they are not starting with their best number. Their first offer is designed to close your case before you fully understand your injuries or consult an attorney. Once you accept, you waive all future claims — even if your condition worsens.
Understanding Hit and Run Accident Cases in Savannah
Hit and Run Accident incidents in Savannah and the surrounding Ashland 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 Savannah 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 requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance of $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage. In serious accidents, these minimums are often inadequate. The Henry Law Firm explores every available source of compensation — including the at-fault driver's personal assets and your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage.
