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 Fort Jennings personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
Ohio's modified comparative negligence law (ORC § 2315.33) allows you to recover compensation as long as you are 50% or less at fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault — but you can still recover. Insurance companies routinely try to inflate your share of fault to reduce their payout. The Henry Law Firm fights these assignments aggressively.
