Statute of Limitations in Ohio

After you’ve been injured in an accident, you will have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit against the negligent party. This deadline is called the “statute of limitations.” If you have been injured due to another person’s actions, you should act quickly. If you wait longer than two years to file a claim, it is very unlikely that the court will accept your case.

However, for medical malpractice cases, the statute of limitations is only one year from the time that the medical injury is discovered or should have reasonably been discovered. Note that regardless of when the injury is discovered, the injury must have taken place no longer than four years prior. If you suspect you may have been the victim of medical malpractice, you should act as quickly as possible to confirm the injury and file a lawsuit against the medical professional responsible.
