Paulozzi, Alkire & Condeni fought long and hard (understatement) for me to get the best outcome possible after my car accident. Joe Paulozzi and Amy Higgins were wonderful… dedicated, persevering, and honest. I cannot thank them enough, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants excellent and proactive representation.

Ohio Laws That Affect Personal Injury Claims

Understanding your rights under Ohio law is essential when pursuing a personal injury claim. These cases depend on proving negligence, liability, and damages through clear evidence and expert testimony.

Duty of Care – Drivers, property owners, medical professionals, and businesses in Ohio are legally required to act with reasonable care to prevent harm to others.

Proving Negligence – To win a personal injury claim, you must show that:

  1. The defendant owed a duty of care.
  2. The defendant breached that duty.
  3. The breach directly caused your injuries and damages.

Examples of negligence include distracted driving, unsafe property maintenance, medical mistakes, and failure to follow safety laws.

Comparative Negligence Rule – Ohio follows a comparative negligence law under O.R.C. § 2315.33, which allows victims to recover damages even if they share partial responsibility. Compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, but recovery remains possible as long as you are 50 percent or less at fault.
