Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Ohio

Re: miscarriage

Dear Mis-claimant: Under the provisions of the Ohio Workers' Compensation laws, any work-related injury claim must be filed within two (2) years after the date of injury, or it is forever barred.

Under the laws applicable to personal injury, a claim must be brought within two (2) years after the date of injury or br forever barred.

Why in Heavens' name have you waited so long to complain?

STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS: By definition, statutes of limitations are specific landmark dates, or �deadlines�, by which an act or legal action must be initiated, or it will be forever barred at law. Other deadlines missed may merely impose fines or penalties for lateness. Ominous though it may sound, such cutoffs, including response dates, are essential to an orderly business society and economy, and necessary to provide finality and closure to certain events and claims.

Statutes of limitation, like aircraft landings, are mandatory. Personal Injury 2 yrs.

Worker�s Compensation Claims 2 yrs.

Occupational Disease Claims 6 mo.

Importantly, many limitations, stated in a number of days, include weekend days and holidays in such calculations, necessitating early action or filing, to comply with certain deadlines imposed.

Good luck.
