Ohio Bad Drug Lawsuits & Ohio Defective Medical Device Cases

Ohio Bad Drug Lawsuits & Ohio Defective Medical Device Cases

The lives and well-being of patients in America are altered every year due to dangerous and defective drugs and medical devices that result in thousands of deaths and injuries. Many of the pharmaceutical and device manufacturing giants creating new products will put profits ahead of consumer safety and will only recall their bad drugs and devices when forced by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Their uncaring actions result in catastrophic injury where thousands of individuals either lose their lives or need multiple corrective surgeries.

Because of that, victims are often left with no choice other than to file in Ohio defective medical device case, wrongful death lawsuit, medical malpractice claim, or Ohio bad drug lawsuit to seek the financial recompense they deserve. It is up to the victim to prove in court that these large pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, hospitals, doctors and other health care providers caused their life-changing injuries, losses and damages due to selling, recommending or using the unsafe product.

These cases are complex and the initial steps require access to much-needed resources, including the links below.

State of Ohio Statute of Limitations

Ohio Civil Statute of Limitations Laws — Code Provisions (Section 2305.113)

Although the victim or surviving family members have the legal right to file compensation lawsuit against all defendants in the case, the Ohio statute of limitations code highly restricts the amount of time they can file a claim. This includes victims filing a case involving intentional torts, wrongful death, product liability, negligence, personal injury or medical malpractice.

If the victim or their surviving family members fail to file all the necessary documentation before the expiration of the statute of limitations in the appropriate Ohio courthouse, they forfeit their opportunity to seek financial recompense in the future.

  • Personal Injury / Negligence – 2 Years
  • Product Liability – 2 Years
  • Wrongful Death – 2 Years
  • Medical Malpractice – 1 Year “with Discovery Rule but, if prior to expiration of 1 year claimant gives written notice to defendant, action can be commenced within 180 days after notice. In foreign object cases [statute of limitation] is 1 year from discovery with a 4 year [statute of limitation] maximum. Minors: 4 years from malpractice.”
  • Intentional Torts – 1 Year
