How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Ohio?

Ohio gives you 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit (ORC § 2305.10). Missing the deadline almost always means losing your right to recover.

What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

Ohio follows modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar. If you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages, reduced by your share of fault. If you are more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing. That rule (ORC § 2315.33) applies statewide in Ohio.

How does the settlement calculator work?

It uses the standard multiplier method: (medical bills × severity multiplier) + lost wages = estimated range. Soft tissue uses 1.5×–3×, moderate injury uses 3×–5×, and severe/permanent uses 5×–10×. The result is adjusted for your share of fault under Ohio comparative negligence.

Does a 20% contingency fee really apply?

Yes. Our contingency fee is 20% of the final recovery — not the 33% most Ohio firms charge. On a $60,000 settlement that's about $8,000 more in your pocket.

(medical bills × 3–5× multiplier) + lost wages = range. Adjusted for your fault share under Ohio law. Estimate only — real cases turn on liability, coverage, and evidence.
