- Deadline: most Ohio catastrophic injury lawsuits must be filed within 2 years of the injury (Ohio Rev. Code § 2305.10).
- Ohio's cap on non-economic damages does not apply to permanent catastrophic injuries — including loss of a limb, loss of a bodily organ system, or a permanent injury that prevents independent self-care (Ohio Rev. Code § 2315.18(B)(3)).
- Economic damages — lifetime medical care, home modification, lost earning capacity — are never capped in Ohio.
- A life-care plan built with medical and economic experts is the backbone of full compensation; quick settlements almost never account for decades of future care.
- Cost: no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you.
