STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS DISCLAIMER!  There may be other statutes of limitations that apply to your case.  To find the correct statute of limitations, work with an attorney who knows how to interpret your case.  For example, if someone pushes you, and you fall and break a hip, was it negligence (a two year statute of limitations), or assault and battery (a one year statute of limitations)?  As a general rule, the code section to the Ohio Revised Code below should lead you to the correct statute of limitations for a particular case.  However, for every rule, there is an exception, and for every exception, there is a rule.  Phillips Law Firm, Inc. is happy to help you, if you need assistance.
