Not every car accident attorney in Ohio has the trial experience and track record to take on major insurers. The Henry Law Firm does. We've recovered $50M+ for Ohio accident victims and serve clients across Westerville and Franklin County.
Every Day You Wait Weakens Your Case
Evidence disappears quickly after a crash — surveillance footage gets overwritten, witnesses' memories fade, skid marks wear away. Ohio's two-year statute of limitations (ORC § 2305.10) may seem distant, but the strongest cases are built immediately. Waiting gives insurers more time to build their defense.
Understanding Rear-End Collision Cases in Westerville
Rear-End Collision incidents in Westerville and the surrounding Franklin County area can result in serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment. Our attorneys have the knowledge and resources to investigate your case, identify all liable parties, and build the strongest possible claim on your behalf.
Your Legal Rights Under Ohio Law
Ohio's comparative negligence law (Ohio Revised Code § 2315.33) allows you to recover compensation even if you bear some responsibility, as long as your fault doesn't exceed 50%. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years. Don't delay — contact a Westerville attorney today.
Compensation Available
- Medical expenses — emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
If the other driver was uninsured or underinsured and you have UM/UIM coverage on your Ohio auto policy, The Henry Law Firm can help you make a claim under your own insurance — and will fight your insurer just as hard as we would fight the at-fault driver's insurer. You paid for that coverage; you deserve to use it.
Contingency Fee — Zero Upfront Cost
You don't pay attorney fees unless and until we recover money for you. Our contingency fee model means your access to top-tier legal representation doesn't depend on your financial situation. Free consultation, no upfront charges, and you keep the majority of your recovery.
