Personal injury law is a broad area of the law that allows an injured person to seek financial compensation from the party responsible for his or her injuries. In many cases, personal injury claims arise when another party is careless or reckless, allowing an injured plaintiff to bring a claim under a theory of negligence. In other cases, such as product liability claims, the plaintiff does not need to prove that the defendant was negligent. Instead, product liability cases operate under a theory of strict liability, meaning that if the defendant designed, manufactured, or sold the product, it may be strictly liable for injuries.

If you were injured as a result of another party’s negligence or wrongdoing, an aggressive advocate at our firm can speak with you about your options for obtaining financial compensation.
Your Ohio personal injury lawsuit has a statute of limitations, which is the strict amount of time you have to file a lawsuit before it becomes time-barred. Under Ohio law (Ohio Rev. Code § 2301.10), most personal injury lawsuits have a two-year statute of limitations. As such, your claim must be filed within two years from the date of the injury in order for you to be eligible to receive compensation.
While two years might seem like a long time, it is essential to get in touch with an Akron personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Many personal injury claims begin by dealing with insurance companies and negotiating for a reasonable settlement before the case is filed in court. As such, you want to leave yourself enough time to negotiate with the insurance company while remaining eligible to file a civil lawsuit.
Ohio personal injury lawsuits frequently result in plaintiffs receiving two kinds of compensatory damages:
Non-economic damages may be capped depending upon the case, and contributory fault also may result in a damages award being diminished. A personal injury attorney can say more.
