Your Legal Rights Under Ohio Law

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years. Don't delay — contact a St. Clairsville attorney today.
Compensation Available
- Medical expenses — emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering

- 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 St. Clairsville car accident attorney at The Henry Law Firm protects you from unfair fault assignments.
Contingency Fee — Zero Upfront Cost
You don't pay attorney fees unless and until we recover money for you. Our contingency fee model means your access to top-tier legal representation doesn't depend on your financial situation. Free consultation, no upfront charges, and you keep the majority of your recovery.
