Ohio Statute of Limitations Oh Automobile Accident

Ohio has a “statutes of limitations” that set a certain time line for the right of someone to bring a lawsuit. These statutes do not apply to car insurance claims since they require you to make a claim within a reasonable time of the accident, which is typically within a matter of days or even a few weeks. The statutes states that a person has two years to file for personal injury caused by another person from the date of the accident. To file a claim for vehicle or other personal property that was damaged, you have two years to complete this. The state follows a “comparative fault”, which is for a situation that more than one person is partially, or completely at fault for the accident. Since you can recover against any party that was more at-fault than you for personal injury lawsuit, your damages will be reduced by a percentage that goes along with your share of liability.
