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 Wilmington and Clinton County.
The Insurance Company's Offer Is Almost Never Their Best Offer
If an insurer has already contacted you with a settlement figure, understand this: they are not starting with their best number. Their first offer is designed to close your case before you fully understand your injuries or consult an attorney. Once you accept, you waive all future claims — even if your condition worsens.
Understanding Distracted Driving Accident Cases in Wilmington
Distracted Driving Accident incidents in Wilmington and the surrounding Clinton 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 Wilmington 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
Ohio is an at-fault insurance state, meaning the driver who caused your accident is responsible for your damages. However, Ohio also follows a modified comparative negligence rule — if you are found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover. Insurers routinely try to shift blame to reduce their payout. An experienced Wilmington car accident attorney at The Henry Law Firm protects you from unfair fault assignments.
We Maximize Every Dollar of Compensation
Our case valuation accounts for every category of damages: current and future medical expenses, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and loss of enjoyment of life. We don't settle until we're confident the number reflects the full impact of the accident on your life.
