What You Should Know About Filing a Product Liability Claim in Ohio
Even though manufacturers and suppliers are legally bound to provide reasonably safe products, Ohio consumers are exposed to various dangerous and unsafe products each year.
You can pursue compensation if you can demonstrate that a product had a direct role in your recent illness or injury. Despite these cases having a significant burden of proof and a brief period in which action can be taken, a successful case may result in compensation covering your medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

What Types of Products Can Be Included in a Claim?
Ohio’s product liability laws define a product as “any object, substance, mixture or raw material that constitutes tangible personal property.” It must be something that is “produced, manufactured or supplied for introduction into trade or commerce.”
Under this broad definition, your legal representative can clarify whether your item qualifies or not.

How Much Time Do I Have to File My Product Liability Claim?
The statute of limitations in Ohio awards you a two-year window from the date of injury to initiate a product liability action. If this deadline is not met, you risk losing your right to financial recovery.
Regardless of these time limits, it is advantageous to contact a lawyer promptly. They can ensure your claim is filed in accordance with Ohio’s laws while also gathering all applicable evidence and locating witnesses necessary to build a robust case.

Should I Hire a Lawyer?
Considering the complexity of these cases, many victims opt to hire a product liability attorney. You should consider hiring a lawyer if:
- Your injuries have caused you to miss work,
- Your medical bills total several thousand dollars or more,
- You have proof of your injuries and financial losses,
- You have suffered a residual or permanent injury,
- You bear no responsibility for your injuries.
- Working with a lawyer stands to boost your confidence throughout the process and may result in a more generous compensation payout than if you were handling everything on your own.
