In personal injury cases in Ohio, there are general limits on how much compensation plaintiffs can recover for their non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. The only way to collect compensation beyond these limits is to demonstrate a catastrophic injury that qualifies under ORC §2315.19. These injuries are sometimes referred to as “catastrophic” injuries. Without proof of a catastrophic injury, the non-economic damage limits in Ohio are $250,000 or three times the value of the plaintiff’s economic damages (whichever is greater). However, there is an ultimate non-economic damage limit of $350,000 per plaintiff or $500,000 per accident with multiple plaintiffs.
