What Are Ohio’s Personal Injury Laws?

Ohio’s personal injury laws operate under the comparative negligence rule. This means your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault in the accident. Additionally, Ohio’s no-fault insurance laws require drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance for motor vehicle accidents, covering medical expenses regardless of fault.

Understanding these laws can be complex. Our attorneys are here to provide clarity and guide you through the process. Request A Free Consultation today.

What Happens If I’m at Fault For an Accident in Ohio?

Being partially at fault for an accident doesn’t prevent you from recovering compensation in Ohio, thanks to its comparative negligence laws. However, your settlement or award will be reduced by your degree of fault. For instance, if you are deemed 20% responsible, your total compensation will decrease by 20%.

Our attorneys can help minimize fault attribution and maximize your recovery. Call 833-411-5290 to discuss your case.

Common Personal Injury Cases in Ohio

Car Accidents

Ohio sees thousands of car accidents every year. From rear-end collisions and intersection crashes to highway pileups and drunk driving accidents, our attorneys help victims recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering.

Truck Accidents

Commercial truck accidents on Ohio highways cause catastrophic injuries due to the massive size difference between trucks and passenger vehicles. These cases involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and large insurance policies requiring specialized legal expertise.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists in Ohio are vulnerable to serious injuries when other drivers fail to share the road safely. We fight bias against riders and pursue full compensation for road rash, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and other motorcycle crash injuries.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Property owners throughout Ohio have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. When negligent maintenance, wet floors, broken stairs, or inadequate lighting cause falls, our premises liability attorneys hold them accountable.

Medical Malpractice

When Ohio healthcare providers commit surgical errors, misdiagnose conditions, prescribe wrong medications, or cause birth injuries, patients deserve compensation for the harm caused by medical negligence.

Workplace Injuries

Injured workers in Ohio may be entitled to compensation beyond workers’ comp through third-party liability claims against equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, and property owners.

Understanding Ohio Personal Injury Laws

Statute of Limitations

Ohio sets strict deadlines for filing personal injury lawsuits. Missing this deadline means losing your right to seek compensation permanently. Contact an attorney as soon as possible after your injury.

Comparative Fault Rules

Ohio’s comparative negligence laws determine how fault is allocated between parties. In many cases, you can still recover damages even if you share partial responsibility for the accident, though your compensation may be reduced.

Insurance Requirements

Understanding Ohio’s auto insurance requirements and coverage options is important for accident victims. Our attorneys identify all available insurance policies and pursue maximum recovery from every applicable source.
