After a car accident in St. Henry, Ohio, the decisions you make in the first 24–72 hours can determine whether you receive fair compensation. The Henry Law Firm guides Mercer County crash victims through the entire process, from evidence preservation to final settlement or verdict.
Injuries That Seem Minor Can Cost Thousands
Whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and concussions are frequently dismissed by insurers as minor — even when they require months of physical therapy and cost tens of thousands of dollars. Many victims don't feel the full impact of their injuries until days after the crash. An attorney protects your right to fair compensation as the full picture emerges.

Your Legal Rights Under Ohio Law

Compensation Available
- Medical expenses — emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress

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.
