Navigating a personal injury claim in St. Henry alone means facing experienced insurance adjusters without the legal knowledge to counter their tactics. The Henry Law Firm levels the playing field — bringing 15+ years of Ohio trial experience and $50M+ in recoveries to the table for every Mercer County client.
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 Mercer County case will be.

Whether you were injured in a car accident on a local highway, suffered a slip and fall at a St. Henry 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 St. Henry personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
If you were injured at work in St. Henry and the accident was caused by a third party — not your employer — you may have both a workers' compensation claim and a separate civil personal injury lawsuit. These parallel claims can dramatically increase total recovery for Mercer County injured workers.
