Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to file an injury lawsuit in Ohio?

Generally 2 years for bodily injury under Ohio Revised Code 2305.10. Other claims, including medical malpractice, can have shorter deadlines, so ask early.

What if I was partly at fault in Ohio?

You can still recover as long as your fault isn't greater than the combined fault of the others, and your award is reduced by your share, under Ohio Revised Code 2315.33.

How much does an injury lawyer cost?

Most work on contingency. Ask how the percentage changes if a suit is filed or the case goes to trial, and how case costs are handled.
