Navigating a personal injury claim in Westerville 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 Franklin County client.
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 Franklin County clients on the true value of their claim before any settlement decision is made.
Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney in Westerville?
Accidents can happen anywhere in Westerville and the surrounding Franklin County area. Whether you were injured in a car accident on a local highway, suffered a slip and fall at a Westerville 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 Westerville 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 Westerville personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
If you were injured at work in Westerville 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 Franklin County injured workers.
