The Henry Law Firm has spent 15+ years fighting for Ohio personal injury victims. Our attorneys understand the legal and insurance landscape throughout Summit County and know how to build cases that get results — from settlement through trial if necessary.
The Insurance System Is Not Designed to Fairly Compensate You
Insurance companies are businesses. Their adjusters are trained to minimize claims, find reasons to deny coverage, and close files as quickly and cheaply as possible. Without an experienced Stow personal injury attorney in your corner, most injury victims leave money on the table — sometimes a lot of money.
Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney in Stow?
Accidents can happen anywhere in Stow and the surrounding Summit County area. Whether you were injured in a car accident on a local highway, suffered a slip and fall at a Stow business, or experienced medical malpractice at a local healthcare facility, our attorneys can help you pursue the compensation you need to recover.
Ohio is an at-fault state, meaning the person responsible for causing your accident is liable for your damages. However, insurance companies will fight to minimize your payout. Having an experienced Stow personal injury attorney on your side levels the playing field.

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 Stow personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
Ohio requires that personal injury settlements involving minors be approved by the probate court (ORC § 2111.18). The Henry Law Firm handles the probate approval process for Summit County cases involving injured children, ensuring that settlement funds are properly protected for the child's benefit.
