Key legal rules that affect how Ohio car accident claims are valued and resolved.
Modified Comparative Fault (51% bar)
2 years from the date of the accident
$25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident / $25,000 property damage
Ohio follows a 51% bar rule. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover any damages.
Non-economic damages are capped at the greater of $250,000 or three times economic damages (up to $350,000 per plaintiff).
The cap does not apply to permanent and substantial physical deformity, loss of a body organ, or permanent physical injury.
