Ohio Auto Injury Law
In Ohio, the limitation period for personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of injury (ORC § 2305.10). Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently.
Wrongful death claims must be filed within 2 years under ORC § 2125.02.
Ohio follows a modified comparative fault rule (51% bar). You can recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.
Ohio is a fault (tort) state. You can file a claim directly against the at-fault driver's insurance or sue them in court.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Call 911, seek medical attention, document the scene with photos, exchange insurance information, get witness contact details, and call a lawyer before your insurance company.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim?
The statute of limitations varies by state — typically 2-3 years. But evidence degrades quickly, so contact a lawyer within days of the accident.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
Almost never. First offers are typically 2-5x lower than what cases settle for. An attorney can negotiate a fair settlement or take the case to trial.
