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 Chardon 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's medical malpractice statute of limitations is generally one year from the date you knew or should have known of the malpractice (ORC § 2305.113), but no more than four years from the date of the act. This short window makes it critical to consult a Chardon medical malpractice attorney as soon as you suspect negligent care.
