On September 21, 2023, we lost Ken Blumenthal. Our co-founding partner, outstanding lawyer and good friend was taken far too soon by an incurable, neurodegenerative brain disease, progressive supranuclear palsy.

We all will miss Ken, but his legacy of compassion and fighting for the underdog remains.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS IN YOUR PERSONAL INJURY CASE
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Ohio?
Every state puts a time limit on how long an injury victim has to file a claim, also called the statute of limitations. Ohio has a two-year statute of limitations on many personal injury cases, which generally means you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim or you may lose your right to seek compensation.
However, there are a few exceptions to keep in mind:
- Children: If the injured person is a minor, the statute of limitations is generally paused until they turn 18.
- Discovery rule: If an injury was not immediately apparent, the deadline may begin when the injury was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered.
- Wrongful death: Wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years of the date of death.
Seeking guidance from an injury lawyer Columbus residents trust can help you avoid missing this important deadline. We regularly help people evaluate when the statute began to run, identify any factors that might affect that timeline, and coordinate medical documentation from local providers such as major Columbus hospitals and clinics so their claim is filed in a timely and accurate manner.
