Legal Question in Personal Injury in Ohio

Re: law suit

If it was done on purpose, some of the claims are one year from the date of the incident (Assault)....If it was Negligence, then you have 2 years....

Re: law suit

The statute of limitations for a personal injury action for a child is two years after the child reaches the age of 18. Therefore, you must settle the claim or file a complaint in court by this time. If you believe that the person intentionally hit the child with the vehicle, the statute of limitations would be one year after the child reaches the age of 18.

Re: law suit

This is a very important question. The fact that the injured person is a minor-under the age of 18-does have an effect on the time limit for filing a claim. The basic rule regarding the time limit for bringing a law suit for an injury caused by an accident in Ohio is that the action must be commenced within two years of the date of the injury. There are things that may extend that time and one of them is the fact that the injured person is under the age of 18. Generally, the child has until two years following his or her 18th birthday- This is only a general rule and you should not rely on this in your case. If your child has a claim, you should talk to an attorney as soon as possible. There may be other considerations based on the facts in your case.

Many attorneys handle accident claims on a contingency basis. That means that you do not have to pay any attorney fees unless and until the attorney is able to get you money on your claim.

I have been handling injury claims for over 30 years. there is never a charge for attorney fees until I am able to get money for you. Initial consultations are free and there is no obligation. If you would like additional information, please feel free to call. There is no charge or obligation for the call and all information that we discuss will be kept confidential.

Good Luck!
