Your Legal Rights After an Accident in Toledo, OH
Toledo accident claims are governed by Ohio law. Verified Ohio law, with sources. General information — not legal advice for your specific case.
You have 2 years to file [source]
Ohio's statute of limitations gives you 2 years from the date of the crash to file a personal-injury lawsuit. Miss it and you usually lose the right to recover — one of the most important reasons to talk to a lawyer early.
Fault & your right to recover [source]
Ohio follows modified comparative negligence (51% bar) — you can recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. At 51% or more, recovery is barred. Ohio is an at-fault state: the driver who caused the crash — and their insurer — is responsible for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Minimum insurance coverage [source]
Ohio's minimum liability coverage is just $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident for bodily injury and $25,000 for property damage — often far less than a serious injury costs, which is why uninsured/underinsured-motorist coverage matters.
Limits on compensation [source]
Ohio cap to know about: GENERAL-PI noneconomic cap: greater of $250K or 3× economic, max $350K/plaintiff ($500K/occurrence); higher for permanent/substantial deformity (R.C. 2315.18). Economic uncapped.
