After an injury in Wilmington, the decisions you make in the first days matter enormously. Insurers start working against you immediately. The Henry Law Firm provides free, immediate consultations for Clinton County injury victims — and acts quickly to preserve evidence, identify all liable parties, and protect your claim.
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 Clinton County clients on the true value of their claim before any settlement decision is made.
Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney in Wilmington?
Accidents can happen anywhere in Wilmington and the surrounding Clinton County area. Whether you were injured in a car accident on a local highway, suffered a slip and fall at a Wilmington 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 Wilmington 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 Wilmington personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
The full value of a personal injury claim in Wilmington 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.
