The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Ohio is two years from the date of the injury. This means that you have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit in court against the person or entity responsible for your injury.
It's important to note that there are some exceptions to the two-year statute of limitations. For example, if the injured person is under the age of 18 or has a mental disability that prevents them from filing a lawsuit within two years, the statute of limitations may be extended.
Additionally, if the injury was not immediately apparent and only became known later, the statute of limitations may be extended. For example, if someone's exposure to a harmful substance causes cancer years later, the statute of limitations may not begin until the cancer is discovered.
If you believe you have a personal injury claim, it's important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible to ensure you don't miss the statute of limitations deadline.
