Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Ohio?
In Ohio, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice is generally one year from the date of the injury or from when the injury was discovered. However, there is a four-year statute of repose from the date of the negligent act, which means no claim can be filed after four years regardless of discovery.
What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case in Ohio?
Ohio law allows recovery for economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as noneconomic damages for pain and suffering. Noneconomic damages are capped at $250,000 per plaintiff or three times economic damages up to $500,000, whichever is greater, with higher caps for catastrophic injuries.
Do I need an expert witness for a medical malpractice claim in Ohio?
Yes, Ohio requires an affidavit of merit from a qualified medical expert at the time of filing the lawsuit. The expert must state that the care provided fell below the accepted standard and caused your injury. This rule helps ensure that only valid claims proceed.
