Modified comparative fault (51%)
Reaching 51 percent fault can end many injury claims. Interstate wrecks and premises cases in the three major metros are typical files.

Ranges vary by claim type. Confirm the date that applies to you with a participating attorney.

Local context
How Ohio law applies
Ohio uses a modified comparative fault standard. Once your share of fault reaches 51 percent, numerous injury claims are defeated. Crashes on interstate highways and accidents on premises in the state's three biggest cities appear often among case types.
A two-year window typically governs injury suits. Malpractice claims may fall under a separate statute. To pin down the precise deadline, consult an Ohio lawyer.
Issues that often come up in Ohio reviews
01
Three metros, one set of statutes
Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati each have busy Common Pleas dockets. I-71, I-75, and I-70 wrecks are a large share of injury reviews.
02
Medical claims can differ
Medical claims can follow a different statute than a typical two-year injury range. Confirm dates with an Ohio lawyer rather than assuming one calendar.
03
Family and DUI
We do not file in Ohio courts of common pleas and we do not guarantee a settlement. A participating attorney can review family, DUI, or injury facts.
