Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Ohio

Ohio Medical Malpractice Laws

1. For a medical malpractice case in the state of Ohio, if the plaintiff decides to have a hearing opposed to taking a settlement offered to the plaintiff, is the hearing held in the county you reside in or the county the incident occured? Is future/past medical expense, economic loss, pain & suffering allowed in Ohio. Is there is a medical malpractice cap in Ohio? if so, if the incident happened prior to the law passed, can the case be grandfathered in? These questions, is pertaining to case if a child was injured during birth, and now suffers with Brachial Plexus. Thank you in advance.
