The state of Ohio's statute of limitations for car accident claims is 2
years. That means that if you are involved in an accident and wish to
file a personal injury lawsuit, you have up to 2 years after the date
of your accident to file a lawsuit with the court. If you wait too long,
your claim will most likely be dismissed. It's important to get your lawsuit
started as quickly as possible following your accident; this helps preserve
evidence and ensure that witnesses memories remain fresh if your case
ends up going to trial.
