The Henry Law Firm has spent 15+ years fighting for Ohio personal injury victims. Our attorneys understand the legal and insurance landscape throughout Lucas County and know how to build cases that get results — from settlement through trial if necessary.
Accepting an Early Settlement Can Be Costly
Insurance companies make early, fast settlement offers hoping you don't yet know what your case is worth or what your injuries will ultimately cost. Accepting a settlement closes your claim permanently — even if your condition worsens or your medical bills grow larger than expected. The Henry Law Firm advises Lucas County clients on the true value of their claim before any settlement decision is made.
Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney in Sylvania?
Accidents can happen anywhere in Sylvania and the surrounding Lucas County area. Whether you were injured in a car accident on a local highway, suffered a slip and fall at a Sylvania 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 Sylvania 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 Sylvania personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
The full value of a personal injury claim in Sylvania includes: economic damages (medical expenses, lost wages, future medical costs, lost earning capacity, property damage) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium). The Henry Law Firm accounts for every element when valuing your case.
